Seeing a wreck THAT good — every car race fan’s dream, am I right?
At the end of the day, Supercars sent a statement two photographers sustained ankle injuries, one suffered an elbow injury, and a fourth received a head injury.
Kostecki, the 2023 Supercars and 2024 1000 champion, flipped from red to blue this season. The Dick Johnson Racing Shell Ford was withdrawn, and Supercars allowed the team to take the car to the team’s Stapylton shop 28 miles from Surfers Paradise.
The hope is the car can be fully rebuilt before this evening’s qualifying for tonight’s 85 lap race at 11:30 PM EDT. Kostecki must win to advance.
Note: Supercars is in the Finals Series playoffs. The two winners and top five in points after the two races advance to the Round of 7 at Sandown. The winners and top two points scorers will advance to the Adelaide Finals where a three race final determines the series champion. Most points in the three races is the winner.
