Race 17 starting grid: 2026 betr Darwin Triple Crown
Brodie Kostecki has rebounded from a tough start to Friday to claim his fourth pole position of 2026.
Kostecki will share the front row with Anton De Pasquale for the opening race of the weekend, which shapes as a big chance for Kostecki and Matt Payne to chip into Broc Feeney's championship lead.
Feeney, who is 90 points ahead of Payne and 173 points clear of Kostecki, will start back in 13th. Payne qualified third, and will start directly behind Kostecki.
Race 17 will commence at 5:00pm local/5:30pm AEST. Fox Sports, Kayo Sports, and Sky NZ take live coverage. International fans can watch on SuperView.

Cam Waters believes things are finally clicking for him after claiming his first Supercars win of the year by clinching the first race of the Darwin Triple Crown.
After starting fourth in Friday's 35-lap, 100km sprint race, the Tickford Racing Driver won by 0.448 seconds at Hidden Valley Raceway in unusually cool and overcast conditions.
Victory ends a long victory drought for Waters, who hadn't won since February 2025 and had only enjoyed two podium finishes this season leading into Friday's race.

Feeney dethroned in Darwin qualifying shock
THE king of Darwin has been dethroned, with Broc Feeney bowing out early in a Friday qualifying surprise.
Feeney had taken the previous four Supercars pole positions at Hidden Valley but was unable to even make it through the first segment today.
The #88 Red Bull Ampol Mustang was sat 11th on the leaderboard as it approached the chequered flag, and was unable to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
Teammate Will Brown and Kai Allen did subsequently go faster to push Feeney down to 13th on the grid.
It leaves the championship leader with a huge mountain to climb if he is to add to his streak of five straight race wins in Darwin.
