Fifth place represented Ojeda\u2019s best race result yet at Repco Supercars Championship level and has bolstered his finals chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a really strong car in the wet\u2026 as the track started to dry, we struggled a little bit. I think a lot of the qualities that made the car really nice in the wet probably worked against us a little once it dried out,\u201d said \u2018Juice\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, though, it was awesome to hang in there and come away with a top-five result. It\u2019s my first top five, which is really special, and an awesome way to finish 500km around Tailem Bend.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the flipside, Declan Fraser<\/a> and Nash Morris<\/a> walked away empty-handed after their #777 Camaro ground to a halt on the fifth-last lap while running 17th.<\/p>\n Without that zero, PremiAir would have leapfrogged the Blanchard Racing Team in the pitlane order for Bathurst.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were going along alright. I had a bit of a run-in with the eventual race winner and unfortunately got spun around at the second-last corner, which was pretty disappointing,\u201d Morris reflected.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really tough out there\u2026 in the end, it didn\u2019t really matter too much with the engine issue we had late in the race, but overall there were still some positives to take from the day.\u201d<\/p>\n Now comes the Great Race, in which PremiAir was a podium finisher last year \u2013 in fact, James Golding<\/a> was first to the chequered flag before being demoted to third.<\/p>\n Event-specific silverware aside, Ojeda has a playoffs berth on the line, being one of five drivers covered by 87 points from 10th to 14th in the standings. The others in that gaggle are Jack Le Brocq<\/a>, Andr\u00e9 Heimgartner<\/a>, Thomas Randle<\/a>, and Golding.<\/p>\n Clear As Mud! | The Undercut<\/p>\n THE Undercut returns, breaking down the latest news in the world of Supercars racing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IT was a sweet and sour Sunday for PremiAir Racing seven days ago in the opening Supercars enduro…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":898305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-898304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=898304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/898305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=898304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=898304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=898304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789862775_247_2026-bathurst-program-2.jpg\"\/)
