Overview

  • Brodie Kostecki won Friday’s rain-shortened opener after Thomas Randle aquaplaned into the Turn 8 wall, prompting a red flag and early declaration.
  • Broc Feeney set a season record 17th pole on Friday in a qualifying session disrupted by Andre Heimgartner’s engine failure that left oil on the circuit.
  • Saturday qualifying put Ryan Wood on provisional pole, but Feeney topped the Top-10 Shootout; Kai Allen suffered an engine issue in the run and will start eighth.
  • Chaz Mostert’s car failed to fire at the start of Q2 on Saturday, limiting him to one flyer and leaving him 12th on the grid for Race 2 before he climbed to second.
  • Feeney beat Wood to win Race 2, with Wood slowing on the final lap to allow Mostert through to P2, leaving the standings at Feeney +23 over Mostert, with Will Brown and Allen 76 and 88 points back.
