Image: InSyde Media <\/p>\n<p>Cameron started the 19-lap Friday evening race from eighth on the grid and rose to sixth with a strong opening lap.<\/p>\n<p>The BRT Ford then gained two more spots on lap four when a Broc Feeney lunge on Chaz Mostert at Turn 11 allowed Cameron to sneak through on the 2025 title rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Feeney\u2019s aggression worked against Cameron six laps later as the Triple Eight Mustang dived down his inside at Turn 13.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Bull driver locked his rear brakes and made contact with Cameron\u2019s car, before Cameron appeared to initiate a second side-to-side clash on the exit.<\/p>\n<p>That allowed Kai Allen to dive down Cameron\u2019s inside into the final corner \u2013 which resulted in contact and both Mustangs spinning around.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron told Speedcafe post-race that he was proud of his own early-race aggression but should have been smarter in the battle with Feeney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Broc coming, tried to let him go and didn\u2019t realise how far back he was or what happened there,\u201d Cameron recounted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to fight him at all, he doored me pretty hard, which is I think what damaged the exhaust in and then I think he tried to redress on the exit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was probably a lapse in judgement on my behalf in terms of just worrying about Broc and making sure he was on the outside for that last corner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t realise Kai was coming until too late and knew that if I was on the outside for that last corner I was never going to make it or have a good run anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how far up he got or where we were on the track, but I should have in retrospect just focused more on getting the hell of out there once Broc was trying to redress, or once he slowed on the exit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was nothing crazy in it, I\u2019ve just got to be better on my behalf, just race a bit better. We\u2019ve got some fast cars, I\u2019m just not getting the results the team deserves at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The contact with Feeney proved more troublesome than the subsequent spin as it folded the car\u2019s exhaust outlet, which led to a build-up of fumes in the cabin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to press on and I did about a lap and a half but it started getting a lot worse. When you get to the point where you can\u2019t breathe and can\u2019t see, you come in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got some fans blowing whatever it was [inside the car] around while the boys did a good job to make the car driveable at the end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m all fine. We\u2019ll have a few checks to make sure, but the heart\u2019s still ticking, so she\u2019s all good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron took the chequered flag two laps down and the last of the 24 runners.<\/p>\n<p>He was 23rd in Thursday\u2019s race having started sixth before spinning on his own following a Safety Car restart.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/92797\/b\/285241\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/285241.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aaron Cameron and Broc Feeney.
