The #11 Ford Mustang finished the race in 21st position, directly behind the #9 Erebus Chevrolet Camaro of fellow rookie Jobe Stewart.<\/p>\n

Stewart, though, was relegated to last due to a five-second time penalty for a bump-and-run move on Walls at Turn 2 on lap 13 of the race.<\/p>\n

A stewards report revealed that Walls made contact with the rear of Stewart\u2019s car between Turns 3 and 4 on the cool down lap.<\/p>\n

The incident was deemed by stewards to be careless driving, with Walls having no explanation as to why the contact had occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stewards summoned and heard from the Drivers of Cars 9 and 11 and their Authorised Representatives and reviewed broadcast footage,\u201d read the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe footage showed Car 11 gaining on Car 9 on the cool down lap and making slight contact with the rear bumper of Car 9 on the approach to Turn 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Driver of Car 11 said he was not sure why it had occurred but immediately regretted it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving considered the matter, the Stewards determined that the contact with Car 9 was unnecessary and inappropriate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Driver of Car 11 is reprimanded.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two drivers again took the chequered flag line astern in the day\u2019s second race, this time with Walls 21st and Stewart 22nd.<\/p>\n
