via the PG and The Doc podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cSome of the comments from Chaz were frankly alarming and I think people can read into them what they will,\u201d said Story.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve obviously taken the time to read some of the comments. I think the punters\u2019 read on this one is pretty right.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the race, our team principal Mark Fenning went and saw Craig Baird, who is the driver standards observer for Motorsport Australia and the Repco Supercars Championship .<\/p>\n
\u201cBairdo was pretty clear that the move Brodie made on Chaz was fair game, it was a done deal. On the exit we saw what happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought Brodie\u2019s remarks after the race and subsequent to that were absolutely on point. I endorse everything he said.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kostecki and Mostert appear to have made peace following the incident, snapped among a group of drivers at a house party in Toowoomba the following weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cChaz is a fairly image-conscious sort of a driver,\u201d added Story, whose team gave Mostert his Supercars Championship debut in 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you think about it he\u2019s been a phenomenal ambassador for our sport for a number of years now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI suspect he\u2019ll probably reflect upon this one and there\u2019ll be a tinge of regret there.<\/p>\n
\u201cCertainly his comments, I would say his comments were unbecoming of a reigning champion.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Mostert incident overshadowed an otherwise positive weekend for Kostecki in Christchurch that included a Saturday race victory.<\/p>\n
It cost Kostecki the championship lead to Broc Feeney, who also scored the JR Trophy.<\/p>\n
