Cowra’s own Brady Kurtz has etched his name into the history books, becoming a World Champion alongside teammates Jack Holder and Jason Doyle, after the trio raced to victory in the 2025 Speedway of Nations.

Racing against the best in the world, the Australian team delivered an outstanding performance to claim the World Speedway Teams Championship.

The Australian team defeated powerhouse nation Poland in a thrilling Grand Final at the Marian Rose Motoarena.

The final saw Kurtz and Holder produce a sensational opening lap, outpacing Poland’s six-time world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik and Patryk Dudek.

Their incredible teamwork and precise handling on the track secured Australia’s place at the top of the podium, a feat that marks one of the country’s most memorable speedway victories in recent history.

This victory was particularly special for Kurtz, who has had an outstanding year on the international stage.

Earlier in the motorsport season, he made headlines by breaking the record for the most consecutive wins in FIM Speedway Grand Prix history, notching up five straight victories.

Incredibly, the Cowra rider also came within a single point of claiming the individual FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship title in his rookie season.

Kurtz’s racing this year has been a testament to his consistency, determination and rising star power in the sport.

Now crowned a World Champion, Kurtz’s achievements have not only made waves across the speedway world but have also filled his hometown with pride.

His journey from the local tracks to the global stage is a powerful reminder of what dedication, passion and persistence can achieve.

Brady Kurtz has firmly established himself among the elite in international speedway, and the people of Cowra couldn’t be prouder of their new world champion.
