The 16-year-old compact speedcar racing prodigy claimed the Victorian State title on Saturday, February 8 before doubling it up with the NSW gong on Thursday, February 20 at Sydney International Speedway.
The current V1, N1 and Speedweek Series winner couldn’t be stopped throughout the night, claiming first in both his heats leading up to the title race.
In the field of 30 cars nominated to compete for the title, it was clear the young gun was in for a good ride, holding on to a top five position the entire race.

It didn’t take long for Rodriguez to separate himself from the pack, taking a commanding lead inside the first minute.
From there he didn’t look back, crossing the line in his V11 well in front of second-placed Matt Reed.
This is just the beginning for Rodriguez, who will quickly turn his attention to the 44th ACSA Australian Compact Speedcar Championship, the biggest event on the national speedcar calendar.
All eyes will be on the red-hot youngster at Wangaratta Speedway this Saturday, March 1 as he goes for gold on Australian speedcar racing’s biggest stage.
