Shane van Gisbergen and Garth Tander, Triple Eight Race Engineering Holden ZB Commodore
The Kiwi clattered into Macauley Jones in the closing stages of a wet qualifying session at Mount Panorama this evening.
Van Gisbergen has just gone fastest in the first sector and was looking to improve on his fourth position when he came across Jones over the top of the Mountain.
He made contact with Jones that led to Jones rotating and hitting the wall.
Supercars stewards gave since confirmed that he will be handed a three-spot grid penalty following tomorrow’s Top 10 Shootout.
That means he won’t be in contention for pole for the Great Race.
More to follow.
