Nick Morris is delighted to get the nod from Swindon boss Alun Rossiter to race in the Premiership Pairs at Somerset later this month.
Morris will join star man Jason Doyle, who is fit and raring to go after his horror crash last October, at the Oaktree Arena on March 31.
A bumper crowd is expected for the showpiece event, the first of Speedway Great Britain’s major meetings this year, with all eight top flight clubs represented.
And Morris says it will be a great way to get the season started ahead of the trip to Leicester the following night.
He said: “It should be good to have such a competitive meeting so early on in the season.
“It’s before any of our league meetings and it will be good for us to get some laps under our belts.
“Me and Doyley usually ride well together and we’re going there confident we can push for the win.
“It’s a track we both know and both love to race on and hopefully that gives us an even better chance.
“The line-up is looking pretty tough but me and Doyley know if we both ride to our potential then we’d like to think we’ll be in the mix at the end.”
It will be a busy few days for the riders as they have the club’s press and practice on Thursday Mach 30 – and their opening home meeting is against Belle Vue – including former Swindon man Justin Sedgmen – on April 6.
