PREVIEW: SCUNTHORPE v REDCAR (BSN SERIES)
SCUNTHORPE host BSN Series holders Redcar at the Eddie Wright Raceway today (Sunday, 3pm) in the first official team fixture of the 2026 season.
The Scorpions have made four changes from last year with Josh Pickering joining as captain and No.1, whilst Nathan Ablitt and Michael Palm Toft return to the club and youngster Ryan Ingram makes his debut at reserve.
Meanwhile the Bears make the journey without skipper Charles Wright, who suffered shoulder injuries in Friday’s home opener against Newcastle, and Kyle Howarth steps in to guest at No.1.
Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It’s the first official team meeting of the year in Britain so hopefully we attract a bit of attention and a decent crowd to get the ball rolling.
“The weather looks alright, and it’s always a top-notch meeting between Scorpions and Redcar at the Eddie Wright Raceway.
“People have said to me in the past, ‘we need Josh Pickering here at Scunny’ and now he is, so let’s support him because he will be Mr Entertainment. Josh loves our track and we know now we have a rider capable of winning the big races in Heats 13 and 15.
“We’ve pegged our admission prices to the same as last season and we will aim to serve up a cracking season of action for the paying public.”
SCUNTHORPE: Josh Pickering, Nathan Ablitt, Luke Harrison, Connor Mountain, Michael Palm Toft, Simon Lambert, Ryan Ingram.
REDCAR: Kyle Howarth, Jake Mulford, Jordan Jenkins, Jason Edwards, Jake Allen, Ace Pijper, Jody Scott.
SCB Referee: Mick Bates
