The second-tier Supercars class\u2019 first visit to the Darwin Triple Crown follows a four-month break since the season opener in Sydney.<\/p>\n

There are two changes to the field for Darwin.<\/p>\n

V8 SuperUtes regular Rossi Johnson joins the grid with Apogee Motorsport<\/a>, fielding a Holden Commodore ZB leased from Image Racing.<\/p>\n

Masterton Motorsport and its rookie Hamish Fitzsimmons are not making the trip north, leaving the grid at 20 cars.<\/p>\n

Matt Chahda Motorsport has meanwhile confirmed an unchanged line-up, with Jordyn Sinni having found the budget to contest the event.<\/p>\n

The Blanchard Racing Team\u2019s Lochie Dalton and Brad Jones Racing\u2019s Brad Vaughan left Sydney tied at the top of the standings.<\/p>\n

They shared the race wins at the Sydney venue, upstaging the four-car Tickford Racing squad that dominated last season.<\/p>\n

Tickford drivers Reuben Goodall and Ben Gomersall \u2013 who will run main game wildcards later this year<\/a> \u2013 are third and fourth respectively.<\/p>\n

Anderson Motorsport\u2019s Zak Best sits fifth, while Nash Morris (Tickford) and Ryan Tomsett (Anderson) are sixth and seventh having scored a Sydney podium apiece.<\/p>\n

The Super2 Series field will contest two 40-minute races across Saturday and Sunday of the June 19-21 Darwin event.<\/p>\n
