Josh Fort

Name: Josh Fort

Resides: Geelong, VIC

Age: 20 years

Josh's Speedway debut came at age 13, when the youngster piloted a Datsun Sunny on the Victorian Junior Sedan circuit. The team travelled to many events and tracks around Victoria, leading to a number of impressive results, a Best Presented Car Award and a 1st place in the Avalon Club Championship in 2007/08.

in 2008, the Fort family sold Josh's Junior Sedan, leading to 2 full season's out of the sport. With his passion for Speedway still very much alive, Josh dedicated his weekly wages to getting back to racing, purchasing a rolling chassis and aiming to compete in the Formula 500 division.

Not afraid of hard work, Josh has his sights set on success in 2011/12.

Fort's long term goals include competing in America within the next 2 years, and graduate to Sprintcars within the next 5.

Josh is hoping his time in the Speedway Australia Rising Star Program can help him achieve his full racing potential to supplement his already impressive marketing and sponsor support efforts.
