The event will feature two memorials - the Geoff Stagg Super Sedan and the Titch Jordan Formula 500 races.
Last weekend's Super Sedan racing was epic, with several competitors racing side by side for several laps and the field going three-wide on several occasions.
David Nichols was unstoppable from the front row, but Adam Beechey and Steve Latham were closing in on him late and will be eager to go wheel to wheel.
Callum Harper is always one to watch in feature events and would like to add his name to the Geoff Stagg Memorial for the third time. The 14-car field also includes the ultra-competitive Laura Davidson, Dwayne Sonners and Nathan Howells.
The Titch Jordan race is a hotly contested affair and last year's winner, Dylan Beveridge, will be eager to repeat. Ricky Hall, Adam Garwood and Taylor Johnson are all proven race winners so will be challenging hard. The solid field will contest three heats and a final.
AMCAs have a huge 17-car field - Jake Briggs and Mathew Smith have both been victorious already this season.
A dozen Tassie sixes will contest, and their racing last weekend was fantastic to watch. John Moles won from Todd Russell and former Junior Star Steph Howard. They will be challenged by Tiff Frankcombe, Adam Banks, Claire Johnston and her father Peter Johnston.
Modifieds always provide plenty of close quarter action. It has been nine months since any raced, so they will be charging hard into turn one on the first lap. The Juniors will again be split into New Stars and Top Stars. In the Top Stars, Lachlan Robins, Stevie Smith, Harry Auton and Sharni Farrell have all raced at the front this year.
Xavier Clark, Karlia Riley and Kiara McKercher will also be challenging in the 16-car field. Twelve entries in the New Stars will lead to plenty of action.
With the speedway gaining level three accreditation for COVID compliance, spectators are encouraged to pre-purchase tickets via the Carrick website. Gates open at 2pm with racing from 5pm.
