Brodie Kostecki and Will Brown starred in an exciting weekend at the Queensland Raceway, with both Supercars Championship stars securing victories on an action-packed first day.
Kostecki kicked off the day with a win in the first race, driving his Ford Mustang from Dick Johnson Racing ahead of Matt Payne from Grove Racing, and Brown from Triple Eight. Kostecki, who had already amassed a great season, demonstrated his strategic skill during a pit stop, where he opted for three Dunlop Soft tires, allowing him to win by 2.16 seconds over Payne.
The second race was equally competitive, with Kostecki and Payne again shining. After a second pit stop, the lead shifted to Kai Allen, but Brown seized the opportunity in a later stint to take the top spot. This marked Brown’s first win in a year, a well-deserved victory after experiencing technical issues with his previous vehicle.
After the race, Brown expressed his satisfaction: ‘There’s nothing like having the same team to make it possible. It was an intense race, and I’m really happy to have been able to fight for the podium and win today.’ Kostecki, for his part, also expressed satisfaction with his second place, though he lamented some mistakes that cost him the chance for another victory.
Broc Feeney completed the podium with a third place after having a rough time during qualifying. With this day of intense action in Queensland, expectations can only continue to grow for the upcoming races in the championship.
The Supercars championship will return to the track on Sunday with a 200 km race, promising more excitement and competition among the drivers this summer in Australia.
