\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDave Casey’s damaged Mitsubishi Triton V8 SuperUte.<\/p>\n

The crash happened at Murray\u2019s Corner, midway through the Tyrepower V8 SuperUte Series contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a tap from behind and that pushed me over onto the grass,\u201d Casey told Speedcafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the brakes locked on, but it then dug into the sand and went over.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main concern was not staying on the track when it rolled back and possibly hit someone. I just wanted to get it out of the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt cost him (Luke Webber) 30 seconds and its cost me 30 grand. I think it has killed our championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his fourth year in the series, Casey came into the fifth round seventh in the points standings.<\/p>\n


\n\t\tBathurst 1000 Greenroom Afterparty at The all new Oxford Hotel – Doors open 8pm Sunday 12th October \n<\/p>\n

When queried on the timeframe for repairs, Casey was more than hopeful to have the Triton back on track for Race 3. That race is scheduled for 2:25pm AEDT on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Casey was definitive that the Triton would start the fourth and final race on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Scrutineering checks on the damaged Ute revealed that the cage was totally intact. Damage appears mainly to panels and the rear axle\/diff area.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dave Casey’s damaged Mitsubishi Triton V8 SuperUte.
