It was in the premiere against Dackarna that Peter Ljung crashed hard in the eleventh heat. After Ljung collided with a driver from Dackarna, he drove at full speed straight into the air fence, was thrown over the rim and then collided with a pole.

Peter Ljung suffered a concussion. After the crash, he has undergone the brain ladder and tonight the Vetlanda driver made a sensational comeback.

Already in the first round, Peter Ljung took points when he went in behind the heat's fastest, who was the Pirates' Peter Kildemand. Ljung followed it up with a point in the sixth heat - but in the eighth he stood over.

The match between Vetlanda and Piraterna was even. After seven heats, the home team barely led 21-20 - but then the home team made a move when they won the eighth heat with 4-2. After that, Vetlanda took his first five through Brady Kurtz and Michael Härtel, which meant 30-23 after nine rounds.

Vetlanda then never let go of their superiority and eventually won by a full 55-34. The best scorer in the home team was Brady Kurtz who scored eleven points. Peter Ljung scored a total of five points after taking two more in the eleventh heat.
