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).
