Will Davison left his pit bay with the right front wheel not fastened on the #17 Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n

Just as he was about to exit the pits, Davison stopped short next to the Triple Eight garage.<\/p>\n

Once it became evident that the right front was loose, Triple Eight sprung into action and jacked the car up so that Dick Johnson Racing could fasten the wheel.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t thank them enough for jumping in and trying to help,\u201d said Noble.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were trying to get a trolley down. They said they\u2019d pull one out and allow Will to get back in, get out, and get back in for the last run. Otherwise, you\u2019ve got to push him back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we still would have got it done, but in order for us to get through, yeah, a big shout out of thanks for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if the favour would be repaid, Noble said there would come around.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t be on the race track,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose things tend to come around. Swings and roundabouts I think with those things. It gets paid back at some point in time, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot as in financial, but I think the sport tends to pay those favours back. A big thanks to them. They allowed us, as I said, to get Will back, get him in, and give him another crack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll get paid back at some point in time I\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although there was a feel-good end to the drama, Dick Johnson Racing had to face the grim reality of the mistake.<\/p>\n

Supercars commentators criticised the incident and there is a good chance the team will cop some sort of sanction for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t argue, we\u2019ve had too many incidents and issues,\u201d said Noble.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get our processes and procedures better. We\u2019ll have a look at what it was and fix it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all opportunities to grow and get better. We know we\u2019ve got a younger and more inexperienced group, but you can\u2019t continue having them. You\u2019ve gotta get better at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davison only qualified 21st in the car he\u2019ll share with Tony D\u2019Alberto. Teammate Brodie Kostecki, alongside Todd Hazelwood, took provisional pole position.<\/p>\n
