The recent Repco Supercars Championship betr Darwin Triple Crown, Race 2 Qualifying results have left many in awe, with some surprising outcomes and a few familiar faces. One of the most notable performances was that of Brodie Kostecki, who led Tickford Racing's Cameron Waters by a mere 0.0402 seconds. This narrow margin highlights the intense competition in the sport.
However, the story of the day was undoubtedly Anton De Pasquale's qualifying horror.

Despite the setback, De Pasquale remained positive, stating that it's all part of the learning process and that they will have a good race car and try to move forward.
The Top 10 Shootout, which will take place at 12:05 pm AEST, promises to be an exciting affair. With Kostecki and Waters leading the pack, the race is sure to be a close one. However, with De Pasquale's performance in Q1, it's clear that anything can happen in the world of racing.
