Third generation Seton last after penalty in wildcard appearance at Townsville

Supplied from Speedcafe. Dunno who to credit.

Aaron Seton (#30 Superior Cranes Chevrolet) finished last for the first time in his career. The finish came after he finished under power, on the lead lap in the first race at Townsville. The finish came in Seton’s 4^th start.

Aaron Seton is a 3^rd generation Seton, son of Glenn and grandson of Barry. The latter passed away earlier this year. Aaron Seton has run a few races as co-driver to Cameron Crick in 2022 and Jack LeBrocq in 2025. After Cameron Crick’s illness, Matt Stone Racing drafted Aaron Seton in for Matt Stone Racing’s wildcard at Townsville. Aaron Seton was slowest of the 26 entries in both Practice and Qualifying.

Aaron Seton’s race wouldn’t improve, as on Lap 2 he spun out Macauley Jones (#96 Alpha Theta Toyota) at Turn 2 and copped a 15-second time penalty for the incident.

Over the course of pitstops, several drivers cycled through last place. The first pitstop was on Lap 12 by Anton De Pasquale (#18 Club Cadet Chevrolet). Cameron Hill (#14 Sinopec Toyota) fell to last during a pitstop next.

Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) would fall behind Hill a few laps later. The other wildcard, Reuben Goodall (#5 MG Plasteres Ford) fell behind Bates after his pitstop.

Finally, on Lap 23, Aaron Seton pitted and served his penalty, which dropped him to last, where he remained for the remainder of the race.

The Bottom Five got filled out by Reuben Goodall (#5 MG Plasteres Ford), Macauley Jones (#96 Alpha Theta Toyota), Zach Bates (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) and Jobe Stewart (#9 Solo Energy 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.
