The Blanchard Racing Team driver was left wanting answers in the wake of a last-lap clash on Sunday at the Sydney 500 that wiped him out of fourth place.<\/p>\n
Kostecki was handed a 15-second time penalty for spinning Cameron at Turn 2, dropping the Dick Johnson Racing star to 12th in the result \u2013 five places ahead of the delayed BRT Mustang.<\/p>\n
Cameron revealed on the Cool Down Lap podcast that he\u2019d made an attempt to confront the Shell V-Power Racing driver directly after the race.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went down to talk to him straight after the race, but the team [BRT] wouldn\u2019t let me have a go\u2026 not have a go at him, but have a chat with him just to understand what his thought process was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got halfway, I was two garages away, but they wouldn\u2019t let me finish the job. Anyway, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d front up very good in a fist fight with Brodie!\u201d<\/p>\n
That incident marked a sour end to a breakout weekend for Cameron and BRT, which began with the second-year driver\u2019s front-row start and maiden podium on Friday night.<\/p>\n
An aggrieved DJR instigated a meeting with officials post-race to review footage and understand the penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it means that much to him and DJR to come fourth in a race at Sydney, they just need to come down to us, have a chat, I\u2019ll let them pass. I\u2019m happy with a top-five,\u201d Cameron added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t feel like I did anything crazy to block Brodie or anything unordinary. So pretty disappointed to not just lose fourth, but then to get spun and lose all those spots, just disappointing for the whole team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kostecki fired back at the BRT driver via his own Lucky Dogs Podcast, quipping that BRT \u201chad to buy some mirrors off of us because they didn\u2019t have enough mirrors, and Aaron still couldn\u2019t use them\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 2023 Supercars champion took particular umbrage at Cameron dismissing the importance of a battle for fourth place.<\/p>\n
\u201cI race for every position and if I wouldn\u2019t, then I wouldn\u2019t be a race car driver. That\u2019s how it is, we\u2019re employed to get the best finish possible. That\u2019s a cop out for one,\u201d said Kostecki.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said that it was going to be top five all Fords, and I ruined that. Like I\u2019m really thinking about the top five being Fords at that point in the race.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want obviously Fords to run well, but like I really give a shit to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kostecki also suggested Cameron had chased him down on the in-lap following the race.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, it is what it is. He lost the rear on entry as well\u2026 I\u2019m not sure why he wouldn\u2019t run tight there for the last lap,\u201d Kostecki concluded.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said he was going to try and get me back or something, so yeah, that\u2019s good\u2026 I rate it. I\u2019ve actually earned a bit more respect for him now after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kostecki sits fifth in the championship following the three Sydney 500 races, while Cameron is 12th.<\/p>\n
