NGK-sponsored Speedway star Greg Hancock is celebrating winning his fourth World title. The 46-year-old American secured the title when he won heat four of the QBE Insurance Australian FIM Speedway Grand Prix in Melbourne to become one of the top six riders of all time in terms of world title wins.


The Californian said: “It’s great to be on a list of names with these other four-time world champions. Those guys have all been heroes, icons or pillars in the sport. To join them in something like this, I feel honoured.”

Greg finished on top of the leader board with 139 points, nine ahead of Tai Woffinden, and 11 in front of third-placed Bartosz Zmarzlik of Poland. Jason Doyle, also an NGK sponsored rider, finished fifth on 123 points after injury scuppered his strong title hopes.

NGK Spark Plugs Marketing Manager Mark Hallam said, “We would like to congratulate Greg on winning his fourth World title. We have a great relationship with him and he is a fantastic ambassador for the sport.”
