Jason Redpath had a massive crash and the crew have been working overtime to swap the running gear into another chassis.
Early feature leader last weekend Adam Alexander and Jock Goodyer will also be contenders.

Josh Marston returns after his crew chief/father Peter Marston underwent recent surgery and he will be fired up for a good result.
Another massive field of street stocks will take to the arena and the battle between the leading cars has been fierce with plenty of panel rubbing and wheel banging as the quick cars power their way to the head of the pack.
Look for some big performances from Corey Bauld, Ben Riley, Troy Russell and Matt Hammond to name a few.
AMCAs always provide great racing and this is their last meeting for this season, so all competitors will want to go out on a winning note.
Dennis Davidson is looking to repeat last weekend’s feature win, although Adrian Bassett, Jake Briggs, Ray Taylor and Jake Williams could well upset his plans.
Street stock star Dale Riley Jr will race the AMCA of Owen Tubb and could well surprise a few of the regulars as he does double duty racing the street stock as well on the same night.

Another massive field of street stocks will take to the arena and the battle between the leading cars has been fierce with plenty of panel rubbing and wheel banging ...
The little pocket rockets have a solid field for this late in the season.
Jock Goodyer and Dylan Beveridge will have their work cut out for them holding off Kristian Kelly, Taylor Johnson and Nick Kingston.
Starting proceedings will be kart racing on the infield track from 4pm, with nearly 50 entries in juniors, seniors and 125 classes.
The close nature and the fact that this is the only division where you can see every move the driver makes means it will be worthwhile arriving early to watch.
Ending the night will be a last-car-running, winner-takes-all Demolition Derby that will contain some familiar names.
