Brodie Kostecki Scores Third Straight Bathurst Pole
Brodie Kostecki will start his defense of the Bathurst 1000 from the front of the grid after scoring pole at the Mountain for the third successive season.
Running last in the top-ten shootout, Kostecki failed to match the record-breaking lap he had set in first qualifying on Friday but was still able to prevent Cam Waters from grabbing top spot as he lapped a tenth of a second quicker.
The pair headed a 1-2-3-4 on the grid for Ford, with Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood locking out row two.
“It’s just amazing honestly, that in lap was something special seeing all the fans, and getting all the cheers over the fence,”
Kostecki said.
“We’re starting off the best possible spot we can, so can’t wait to share the car with Toddy [Hazelwood, co-driver] tomorrow.
