NGK-sponsored Speedway riders raced to a clean sweep of the Czech Grand Prix recently, taking the first three places.
Australian ace Jason Doyle stormed to his first ever FIM GP victory in Prague with triple world champion Greg Hancock finishing second and Briton Chris Harris third – the first time NGK-sponsored riders had achieved a 1-2-3 on the podium.
Jason, who is now fourth in the world championship on 42 points, said: “It’s a feeling I never thought I was going to have, but it has happened and it’s a monkey off my back to say I’ve won a Grand Prix.”
Runner-up Greg Hancock now leads the world Championship on 56 points – putting him eight ahead of nearest rival Tai Woffinden, who has 48.
NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd has a long and successful partnership with Speedway. It has sponsored American ace Hancock for a number of years; supplying its specialist Iridium racing plugs which he uses on his 500cc motorcycles.
