Welcome to one of the fastest & most Prestigous names in
motorsport.
The legendary legacy of Tatnell Motorsports has become sin
ominous with the sport of Australian speedway for over 40
years. When George, brother Joe & cousins Gary & Bobby first
burst onto the speedway scene in 1958 at famous venues such
as Windsor, Westmead & the granddaddy of all the Sydney
Showgrounds driving stockcars, nobody could have imagined
the dynasty that would eventually create history in world
oval track racing.
From such humbling beginnings of working tow trucks around
the clock through the week before pulling the motor out of
the tow truck to place into Georges racecar to race on
Sunday afternoon. Following the meeting they would return to
the Highway Service Station on Sunday night to put the motor
back into the work truck to be ready for work on Monday
morning, to the motorsport mecca that is Tatnell
Motorsports. George has always been a charismatic, walking
advertisement for the sport of Australian Speedway, who’s
contribution is there for all to see.
During his illustrious career, Gorgeous George as he was
affectionately known achieved everything that the sport has
to offer including 2 World Series Sprintcar Championship &
four victories in National Championships becoming the first
person in history to win National Crowns in both sprintcars
& midgets. George has also been credited with introducing
multi national companies into speedway through his
unprecedented level of professionalism & marketing prowess.
On December 26th 1987 George’s 16year old son Brooke took to
the same dirt tracks that his father had carved out a
legendary reputation. Since that first squeeze of the right
foot at Liverpool speedway in Sydney’s outer west, Brooke
has overcome adversity to become Australia’s most successful
speedway export. Along the way Brooke has carved out his own
page in history with victories in:
- 3 - National Championships in concession
- 5 - World Series Championships
- 13- State & track Championships
- 3 - NCRA Championships in the USA
- Victories with the World of Outlaws,
The toughest racing
series in the world.
- Winningest driver in World Series Sprintcar history
- Fastest driver to ever circulate the famed Knoxville
Raceway.
Despite winning over two hundred sprintcar races &
championships in his career, what is more important is that
the personality that is Brooke Tatnell has become one of the
most popular & personal drivers at any racetrack around the
globe.
In 2006 despite missing several rounds of the World of
Outlaws Championship due to traveling back to Australia to
spend time with his father George who was diagnosed with
Pancreatic cancer, Brooke & the Rush Racing Team finished an
impressive 5th in the championship.
Season 2007 Tatnell lead the charge with crew chief Troy
Renfro to take the newly formed Larry Woodward Racing
Volcano Joes Coffee black deuce back onto the World of
Outlaws Championship tour with two victory's and a
impressive seventh place at the Knoxville Nationals |
