Drivers fought it out in a two-part knockout session to book in a place in the Top 10 Shootout.<\/p>\n

Q2 ended with Brodie Kostecki fastest on 50.698s from Matt Payne and Broc Feeney in a Mustang stampede.<\/p>\n

PremiAir Racing\u2019s Jayden Ojeda continued his impressive rookie campaign as the fastest of the Chevrolets in fourth.<\/p>\n

Kai Allen, Will Brown, Anton De Pasquale, Thomas Randle, Aaron Cameron and Ryan Wood will also feature in the Shootout having filled fifth through 10th.<\/p>\n

Toyota\u2019s Saturday race winners Andre Heimgartner and Chaz Mostert managed just 17th and 18th respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cI should have got drunk last night and not turned up today with how that went,\u201d quipped Heimgartner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sort of expected it in some respects. We\u2019ve very strong on the super soft tyre and this is our weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team 18\u2019s David Reynolds also failed to replicated his Saturday speed down in 14th place.<\/p>\n

It was a rough session too for Tickford Racing\u2019s Cam Waters, who spent the key moments of Q2 in close proximity to Mostert and ended up 13th.<\/p>\n

Brown earlier survived a close call in Q1, where he escaped elimination by the barest of margins in 17th place.<\/p>\n

Fellow Shootout qualifier Cameron recovered from a scare of a different kind, having spun at the final corner following a brush with the left-rear of De Pasquale\u2019s Camaro.<\/p>\n

That incident is set to be investigated following the session.<\/p>\n

The Top 10 Shootout is set for 12:30pm local time.<\/p>\n
