Chaz Mostert set the stage for a tense finish in Sunday’s great race after crashing into the wall at Forrest’s Elbow with five laps to go.<\/p>\n
It was a dogged Kostecki who made the most of the first safety car of the gruelling 161-lap marathon, overtaking Zach Bates en route to De Pasquale, before the latter’s last lap calamity.<\/p>\n
Triple Eight star Will Brown finished second, followed by Matt Stone Racing rookie Bates in third.<\/p>\n
An emotional Kostecki shed tears as he spoke to co-driver Todd Hazelwood after crossing the finish line.<\/p>\n
“I love you guys,” a sobbing Kostecki said over the radio.<\/p>\n
