The first round of the Ryco Enduro Cup at The Bend helped two more drivers formally book their spots in the post-season \u2013 Chaz Mostert and Brodie Kostecki.<\/p>\n

Given Broc Feeney, Matt Payne, Will Brown and Cam Waters were all mathematically qualified after Ipswich<\/a>, there are just four spots not decided.<\/p>\n

Kostecki locked away his finals spot with victory at The Bend, the reigning Bathurst 1000 winner admitting it was a relief to get it squared away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank F for that,\u201d laughed Kostecki. \u201cI wasn\u2019t worried, but it\u2019s great to be locked into the finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behind the \u2018safe six\u2019 it\u2019s a relatively tight battle for the remaining spots ahead of the Bathurst 1000, after which the top 10 will be locked in for finals.<\/p>\n

Anton De Pasquale held onto seventh and would need the four drivers directly behind him to comprehensively outscore him at the Bathurst 1000 to fall out of contention.<\/p>\n

Ryan Wood was the best of the at-danger group at The Bend, moving from ninth to eighth in the standings courtesy of a sixth place finish.<\/p>\n

Thomas Randle moved from 10th to ninth, while the biggest winner was Kai Allen who went from 11th to 10th despite a somewhat underwhelming 15th at The Bend.<\/p>\n

That was because Andre Heimgartner and Declan Fraser had a shocker, their race undone early with clutch issues and steering damage during Fraser\u2019s stint.<\/p>\n

Just outside the bubble, Nick Percat jumped teammate Cam Hill for 12th behind Heimgartner.<\/p>\n

BATTLE FOR THE FINALS<\/p>\n

8. Ryan Wood \u2013 1274
9. Thomas Randle \u2013 1216

11. Andre Heimgartner \u2013 1117
12. Nick Percat \u2013 1098
13. Cam Hill \u2013 1084
14. Jack Le Brocq \u2013 965
15. Bryce Fullwood \u2013 943
16. James Golding \u2013 915
17. Will Davison \u2013 868
18. David Reynolds \u2013 861<\/p>\n

Who is leading the Supercars Enduro Cup?<\/p>\n

Not only is Kostecki now locked into finals thanks to his win at The Bend, but he\u2019s also best-placed to score the 25 bonus points for winning the Ryco Enduro Cup.<\/p>\n

Kostecki heads to the Bathurst 1000 on top of the enduro standings, with this portion of the season limited to the two long-distance races.<\/p>\n

One potential \u2013 if unlikely \u2013 fly in the ointment is Cooper Murray. He and Jobe Stewart finished seventh at The Bend, which means they are not out of the picture for the Enduro Cup.<\/p>\n

As it stands Murray is 402 points off the finals cut-off, which means even winning Bathurst alone wouldn\u2019t help him qualify.<\/p>\n

Unless he wins the Enduro Cup and claims the golden ticket attached to it, which would bump the 10th-place driver out of finals.<\/p>\n
