## Resource

Matt Payne dominated the second Supercars race at Townsville, starting second and pulling away early to lead by eleven seconds after the first pit stop — a lead he never relinquished through the 68-lap race. His commanding performance was aided by Brodie Kostecki’s costly pit stop mishap, which cost him time and positions, though Kostecki still clawed back to a podium finish. Anton De Pasquale, starting eleventh, surged to second with strategic tire changes, while Payne admitted the solitude of leading was intense but celebrated his team’s flawless execution. Kostecki hinted his own delay may have indirectly benefited De Pasquale’s strategy, and both drivers acknowledged the car’s pace despite race challenges. Payne’s win marks his tenth career victory and extends his championship lead as the season continues. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
