Eastbourne Eagles ace Edward Kennett is aiming to make the most of his big chance at this year's British Grand Prix.
Kennett, 21, will line up alongside the world's best at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in front of 40,000 speedway fanatics tomorrow.
Kennett, whose father Dave rode for the Eastbourne Eagles in the 80s and his uncle Gordon Kennett for the Eagles and England in the 70s and 80s said, "The British Grand Prix is the ultimate for most riders.
"To race indoors in front of 40,000 or 50,000 fans is a real buzz.
"I have been reserve at the Grand Prix before but this is the first year I will be racing. I can't wait to get going and hopefully I can put in a good performance."
Kennett will be joined by in-form team-mate and Great Britain captain Scott Nicholls.
World Champion and former Eagle Nicki Pedersen will also be vying for the title alongside the likes of Jason Crump, Leigh Adams and Chris Harris.
Live coverage starts Saturday June 28, 7pm, Sky Sports 1.
