CURRENT world number three Fredrik Lindgren has been revealed as the latest star to ride at the Ben Fund Bonanza.
Sandy Lane will host the annual event, which raises money for injured riders via the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund, on March 23, the first track action at Oxford Stadium for the 2025 campaign.
Lindgren and former Oxford Speedway ace Lewis Kerr take the total to 10 riders confirmed out of the 16.
In August, Lindgren scored 11+1 for Birmingham Brummies in a Premiership meeting against Oxford Spires at Sandy Lane.

Kerr added: “The Ben Fund has helped me a lot through my career, so I’m delighted to be involved again this year.
“I broke my leg in the past season, and they helped me out again. They’ve always helped me through the tough times. I’m back fit, and I’m running so I will be more than ready for the new season.”
Also included in the Ben Fund Bonanza line-up are Spires duo Erik Riss and Charles Wright, plus Oxford Cheetahs star Sam Masters.
The line-up so far is then completed by Tom Brennan, Jason Doyle, Adam Ellis, Danny King and Tobiasz Musielak.
