Early race clashes leaves Jackson Walls last for the 4th time this season

Credit; Supercars
Jackson Walls (#11 Overdrive Ford) finished last for the 4th time in his career. The finish came after finishing last, on the lead lap in the second race at Wanneroo. The finish came in Walls’ 24th start.

 

Jackson Walls came out of nowhere in 2018, jumping up to Formula 4. He would ascend the Formulas until he switched to the Toyota Racing Series in 2019. He won 1 race there, in 2020 at Pukekohe. Walls moved to Super 2 and Porsche in 2025, and SCT Logistics Racing promoted him to the main game in 2026 when they switched teams. But the introduction has been rough, with last-place finishes at Albert Park, Taupo and Ruapuna. Walls was slowest in Practice 1 but improved to 22nd in Practice 2. Walls improved again to 21st in Qualifying.

 

Aaron Cameron (#3 Liqui Moly Ford) started the race last.

 

At the end of Lap 2, Jackson Walls (#11 Objective Ford) half-spun Cooper Murray (#99 Total Energies Chevrolet), dropping Murray to last.

Murray would spend the next few laps battling with Aaron Cameron for last, eventually getting ahead.

 

On lap 10, trying to make a move on Murray, Jackson Walls hit Murray, half-spinning him. Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) tried to take advantage, only to hit Walls and almost go off the road. Moments later, Murray and Aaron Cameron (#3 Cooldrive Distribution Ford) collided. Those incidents left Bates last.

 

Pit stops start on Lap 17. Chaz Mostert (#25 Optus/Mobil 1 Toyota) pitted first and fell to last.

Cooper Murray pitted the following lap and dropped behind Mostert and De Pasquale, the latter having also pitted. Murray would fall a lap down.

 

It would be Lap 26 before Murray would leave last place. Macauley Jones (#96 JBS/Blackwood Toyota) pitted and dropped behind Murray.

The following lap, Jackson Walls (#11 Objective Ford) pitted and dropped behind Jones.

 

Walls would hold last for the rest of the race, though Macauley Jones would drift to 23rd by race end.

 

The bottom five filled up with Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet), Aaron Cameron (#3 Liqui Moly Ford) and Cameron Hill (#14 Statewide Bearings Toyota).

Contact into the sand trap leaves Brodie Kostecki last at Wanneroo

Credit: Supercars
Brodie Kostecki (#17 Shell V-Power Ford) finished last for the 6th time in his career. The finish came after he finished under power, 3 laps down at Wanneroo Raceway. The finish came in Kostecki’s 173rd start.

 

Brodie Kostecki, arguably the most talented of the Kostecki family, is in his 6th year in the main game. He ran a few races for Kostecki Brothers Racing alongside his brother and cousin, but the rest of his races have been for Erebus Motorsports.

 

2023 saw Brodie Kostecki win the championship for the first time. 2024 went badly for Kostecki, as tensions with Erebus Motorsports cut the first two races of the season from his schedule. Kostecki would move from Erebus to Dick Johnson Racing in 2025, where he’s been much happier. Kostecki has been competitive this year, winning 6 races and placing 3rd in the championship.

 

Jobe Stewart (#9 Spinifex Sheds/Vibe Petroleum Chevrolet) started last. This was after a post-qualifying penalty for causing a crash with Ryan Wood (#2 Truck Assist/NTI Toyota). Stewart battles with Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) and James Golding (#7 Cooldrive Distribution Ford) early in the race.

After a few laps, however, Jobe Stewart (Spinifex Sheds/Vibe Petroleum Chevrolet) drifted about a second from the pack. However, starting Lap 10, Macauley Jones (#96 JBS/Blackwood Toyota) also drifted back, falling to 23rd after starting 14th.

 

Pit stops started on lap 15. Jack LeBrocq (#4 Sherrin Rentals Chevrolet) pitted first, dropping to last.

Declan Fraser (#777 Nulon Chevrolet) pitted on Lap 18 and dropped behind LeBrocq.

Jobe Stewart (#9 Spinifex Sheds/Vibe Petroleum Chevrolet) pitted on Lap 20 and had a terrible stop with a cross-threaded nut on the left-rear. The poor pit stop dropped him to last and a lap down.

 

Lap 39 saw Kai Allen (#26 Penrite/Perth Bears Ford) and Brodie Kostecki (#17 Shell V-Power Ford) collide at Turn 1, sending Kostecki into the same trap. The incident triggered the only safety car of the race. Kostecki would lose 3 laps being retrieved.

 

Race completion decided the bottom five. Macauley Jones (#96 JBS/Blackwood Toyota) finished 23rd. Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet), Declan Fraser (#777 Nulon Chevrolet) and Jayden Ojeda (#31 Nulon Chevrolet) finished in the bottom five.
