Biggest motor race in Australia and one of the biggest days on the Australian sporting calendar. Kostecki is the defending Supercars champion, a rising star of the sport, who finished 2nd last year. It was not only a first Bathurst win, but first career win, for his co-driver Todd Hazlewood. For Kostecki's team, Erebus, it continues a remarkable rise. They won Bathurst out of the blue as admired outsiders in 2017 and they've risen steadily since then to title contenders in 2022 to both driver and team championships last year. No one's calling this an upset or a fairytale: they've arrived.
888 Racing's Broc Feeney and Jamie Whinchup finished 2nd by 1.5s with his team mate Will Brown and co-driver Scott Pye back in third. Brown has a healthy 204 point lead with 2 races remaining while 888 have long wrapped up the teams championship.
