Supercars stars sent flying off track as title contender delivers Sandown masterclass \u2013 Wrap<\/a><\/p>\nMORE BIG NAMES FALL AS QUALIFYING CHAOS CONTINUES<\/p>\n
The drama continued in Phase 2, with more big names falling short of the Top Ten Shootout as Matt Payne set the pace with a blistering lap of 1:07.886.<\/p>\n
But for Cam Waters and Chaz Mostert, it was a session to forget, with both drivers failing to progress to the final stage of qualifying.<\/p>\n
Mostert was bumped out of the top ten late in the session, finishing 11th and narrowly missing his chance to fight for pole position.<\/p>\n
Waters also struggled to find the pace needed to progress, leaving him starting from 18th on the grid for Sunday\u2019s race.<\/p>\n
For Payne, De Pasquale, Kostecki and Feeney, it was a different story, with all four securing their places in the Top Ten Shootout as they look to improve their starting positions ahead of the afternoon\u2019s race.<\/p>\n

It marks a significant change from Saturday\u2019s qualifying session, when all seven championship finalists progressed to the shootout.<\/p>\n
This time around, just four of the seven managed to make it through, setting up an intriguing battle for pole position at Sandown.<\/p>\n
PAYNE CLAIMS NINTH POLE OF THE SEASON<\/p>\n
Matt Payne proved too strong once again in the Top Ten Shootout, securing his ninth pole position of the season ahead of Sunday afternoon\u2019s race at Sandown.<\/p>\n
Anton De Pasquale finished second, with Cooper Murray, Brodie Kostecki and Zach Bates rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n
Broc Feeney also made the most of his opportunity, climbing from 10th to sixth in the shootout to improve his starting position.<\/p>\n
The result puts Feeney in a stronger position heading into the afternoon\u2019s race, whilst Payne will look to make the most of another pole position as the championship battle continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tempers have flared at Sandown following a heated on-track battle that sparked a furious response over team radio.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":956711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-956710","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\/956710","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=956710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/956711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=956710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=956710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=956710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
