Off-road excursion and lengthy retrieval leaves Cameron Crick last at Ipswich

Original by V8 Slueth, cropped by me.

Cameron Crick (#35 Dormer Chevrolet) finished last, 8 laps down in the last race at Ipswich. The finish came in Crick’s 8th start, and the 2nd last-place finish in 2025 for Cameron Crick.

Cameron Crick is an up-and-coming driver in motorsport, having had some solid results in Toyota 86s and SuperUtes. He is the son of six-time Australian Truck Racing Champion Rodney Crick and has run two seasons in Super2. He scored his first Top 10 in the Supercars last year driving alongside Cameron Hill at Matt Stone Racing during the Bathurst 1000. This year Crick is running a wildcard campaign for Matt Stone Racing, piloting the #35. He was 4th in Practice 1 then plunged to 20th in Practice 2. He would qualify last.

Cameron Crick (#35 Dormer HVAC Chevrolet) started the race in last. Andre Heimgartner (#8 R&J Batteries Chevrolet) briefly fell to last on the opening lap before passing Crick.

Rain started on Lap 2, and thinking it’ll get worse, James Courtney (#600 Snowy River Caravans Ford) pitted at the end of Lap 3.

This strategy would backfire, and Courtney would lose a Lap by Lap 11, losing that lap with a second pit stop to switch back to dry tires.

Courtney would hold last until Lap 30 when Cameron Crick (#35 Dormer Chevrolet) went off and triggered the first Safety Car of the race. The crane sent to retrieve Cameron Crick pulled his car across the entire sand trap at Turn 6. When combined with time spent in the pits afterwards, cost Crick 8 laps.

The rest of the Bottom Five would come because of penalties. The two full-time Matt Stone Racing cars, Cameron Hill (#4 Sinopec/Supaglass Chevrolet) and Nick Percat (#10 Bendix Chevrolet), collided with Zach Bates. First, Cameron Hill ran Bates off the road on the front straight, then Percat ran Bates off the road at Turn 2.

Hill would cop a pit-lane penalty while Percat would cop a 15 second penalty, leaving them 23rd and 24th.

Ryan Wood (#2 Truck Assist Ford) would spin out Will Brown (#1 Red Bull/Ampol Chevrolet) at Turn 3 and cop 15 seconds for it, leaving him 22nd. Ryan Wood, however, would escape the Bottom 5 because Will Brown would cop a 15-second time penalty for spinning wheels in the pits.

How Juniorgeneric defines a Last-Place finisher

Australian V8 LASTCAR'S Official Definition of a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF)

For the purposes of the Australian V8 LASTCAR championship rankings and statistics, a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF) is a driver(s) who, after qualifying for a V8 Supercars Championship Points-Paying race, the result must be confirmed from official sources, or unofficial sources failing that. Only one driver (or two in a endurance race) can be classified as the LPF for that race.

Meeting those requirements, the LPF can be any driver classified as such for any reason, including, but not limited to.
1) A "did not start" although it should be noted that there is a difference between my definition of "did not start" and Brock Beard's definition of "Did not Start".
For example, in Bathurst 2015 Chazz Mostert and Cameron Waters' #6 Pepsi Max Ford had a huge accident during practice that injured Mostert and all but wrote off the car. Car #6 was withdrawn, and therefore I don't count Mostert and Waters as finishing last. Under Brock Beard's definition, however, Mostert and Waters would have finished last instead of David Wall and Chris Pither.
2) An entrant who encounters an event once the race has started which prevents the driver(s) from finishing ahead of any other qualified entrants, including both DNFs and drivers who finish under power but laps down*

*Only when all the cars in the race are running ahead of the LPF

3) A decision to “start and park” the driver’s entry (Extremely rare in V8 Supercars)
(4) a disqualification handed down by V8 Supercars and/or track officials that subsequently classifies the driver(s) in the final position behind the unofficial LPF.

Australian V8 LASTCAR shall not consider the LPF as anything else, including but not limited too
1) Any DNQ's
2) Any driver's who's car withdrew before the race start.
3)The lowest-ranked driver who finishes the race under power (unless all cars finished under power, actually quite common in V8 Supercars)
4) A driver(s) who finished last initially, however post-race disqualifications usurped the spot.
5) A driver(s) who may be catagorised as finishing last for exhibition events (I may bring these back at some point in the near future, I need more accurate numbers for the events before I start them up again)
6) Anything in non-V8 Supercar Main game (again, insufficent historical data)
7) A driver who was running last when the checkered flag fell, however because they greeted the checkered flag but a drive who was in front of them at the end of the race, however was not running at the end of the race. In that instance the driver who doesn't finish the race will fall behind the driver whom is still running at the end of the race.

In the rare event where official results or a preponderance of unofficial results are later updated with more accurate information about who was the LPF for that event, Australian V8 LASTCAR rankings and statistics shall be updated to reflect that change.
