The Supercars veteran finished second to Chaz Mostert in the Symmons Plains opener, marking his first podium in a sprint race since joining Team 18 at the start of 2024.<\/p>\n

Mostert pulled a bold move for the lead on Anton De Pasquale into Turn 6 on the second lap.<\/p>\n

The loss of momentum allowed Reynolds to draw alongside his teammate at the final corner, resulting in side-to-side contact.<\/p>\n

That allowed Andre Heimgartner and Brodie Kostecki to also file through on the hapless De Pasquale, who eventually finished sixth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a little stuff-up with Anton at the start and pushed him a bit wide,\u201d Reynolds later confessed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really bad about that. It took me about 10 laps to get over, but after that I was just head down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reynolds reiterated in the post-race cooldown room that he felt \u201cterrible\u201d about the move, adding \u201cI\u2019m surprised I didn\u2019t get a penalty\u201d.<\/p>\n

Third-placed finisher Brodie Kostecki cheekily labelled Reynolds\u2019 move \u201cpretty disgusting\u201d.<\/p>\n

De Pasquale confirmed Reynolds apologised to him post-race, but the DeWalt-backed driver was typically relaxed about the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get hung out, it cooks you here. You get stuck and it\u2019s all too tight to recover, I lost a few spots and that was us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s racing. We\u2019re all racing for position, so I\u2019m not too upset with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said sorry to me straight away, but I wasn\u2019t too upset about it. I\u2019d been hung out anyway, so it was his for the taking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not much you can do. If we were a little but quicker, and a bit better at the hairpin, we wouldn\u2019t have been in that position.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to the lead, did that job which was the plan, and if we were fast enough I wouldn\u2019t have been under threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reynolds was able to hold on for second place after Kostecki was kept busy in the closing laps by a charging Broc Feeney.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Brodie and Broc were coming at me I had the maximum stress going,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then they started fighting and I got about a second and a half gap. I was like \u2018woohoo, I\u2019m home\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome. The Snowy River crew have done an awesome job all weekend. It\u2019s been a tough year but things are going to turn around.\u201d<\/p>\n
