Nascar: A huge pile up at the Sonoma Raceway saw a large number of drivers affected after Josh Berry went into the wall on turn 11.
Nascar pile up causes race chaos | 00:22After winning three of the first five races, Broc Feeney is staring down the barrel of a points deficit worth a full race win to teammate Will Brown .
After months of hotly contested battles between the two, the deficit was enough to baffle team boss Jamie Whincup.“We’ll just go away and see where the deficits were and work out: was it set-up, was it driver, was it a combination of both? “The last two have probably been a little bit tougher than what we’d like. Taupō Sunday was good, but we lost a bit on Saturday.
“It probably doesn’t really change,” he said of his approach for this weekend. “I’m always pretty hungry to go out and get a win. “To be honest, I’m not going there just focused on the Triple Crown; I’m going there to try and have a good bounce back and get some good results on the board. “I’m looking forward to Darwin next, which will be great. I just need to try and keep that motivation going. I think we’ve got a pretty good car at the moment, but there are always some little things we can work on.”Mostert has meticulously avoided talking about his season in championship terms despite ably keeping in touch with the leaders, but he’s allowed himself to loosen up a bit since the comprehensive result in Perth.
It’s now 594 points behind Triple Eight and 80 ahead of Tickford following Cam Waters’s Sunday triumph. Race pace was a particular bugbear for Ford teams last season, but in 2024 Mostert is optimistic he can atone for 2023’s underwhelming performance. The fascinating juncture in this year’s championship battle comes with the Darwin Triple Crown and the sport’s Indigenous round as its backdrop.
Qualifying for Saturday’s race has been moved to Friday afternoon and becomes the first leg of the crown.
