Jack LeBrocq (#4 Sherrin Rentals Chevrolet) finished last for the 21st time in the final race at Symmonds Plains. LeBrocq finished under power, 17 laps down. The finish came in LeBrocq's 283rd start.

Jack LeBrocq is in his 9th full-time season, one of five 2018 rookies alongside Richie Stanaway, Anton De Pasquale, Todd Hazelwood, and James Golding. Only Jack LeBrocq and Anton De Pasquale have raced all 8 years. Hazelwood is currently co-driver with Brodie Kostecki. Richie Stanaway's full-time career is over after being sacked by Premiair Hire Racing. Golding is back in the sport and doing well at the Blancahrd Racing Team. Jack LeBrocq debuted with Tekno Autosports. He moved to Tickford in 2020 and won his first race with them. LeBrocq then moved to Matt Stone Racing in 2022. In 2023, he won his second race before moving to Erebus Motorsports in 2024. LeBrocq would move back to Matt Stone Racing in 2026.

Jackson Walls (#11 Objective Ford) started the race last. Macauley Jones (#96 Summit/Finance Toyota) fell to last off the start.

The pitstops saw several drivers spend time in last. First was Jackson Walls (#11 Overdrive Ford) on Lap 6. Walls would relegate Declan Fraser (#777 Premiair Hire/Nulon Chevrolet) to last on Lap 11. On Lap 19, a pit stop would relegate Jobe Stewart (#9 Total Energies/Quartz Chevrolet) to last.

Stewart would hold last until Lap 32 when a tire issue during a pit stop for Jack LeBrocq (#4 Sherrian Rentals Chevrolet) would drop him to last. The following lap, last place would fall to Jayden Ojeda (#31 Premiair Hire/Nulon Chevrolet) after his 2^nd pit stop.

The next few laps saw last place fall to Thomas Randle (#55 Castrol Ford) on Lap 34, then return to Jackson Walls (#11 Overdrive Chevrolet) on Lap 36.

Jackson Walls would hold last for over 20 laps, until he overtook Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) on Lap 62.

Lap 64 saw Jack LeBrocq (#4 Sherrin Rentals Chevrolet) pull into the garage with an Engine misfire. LeBrocq would lose 17 laps, returning to the track with just 4 laps to go. LeBrocq would finish last.

Rylan Grey (#38 Shell V-Power Ford) was 23rd after a late-race pitstop. Jobe Stewart (#9 Total Energies/Quartz Chevrolet) and his teammate Cooper Murray (#99 Total Energies/Quartz Chevrolet) were 22nd and 21st, respectively. Completing the Bottom Five was Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet).

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.
