Illness sidelines Crompton from Bathurst 1000 TV duties
Neil Crompton, the former racer and Supercars powerbroker, was noticeably absent from the broadcast of the Friday action at Mount Panorama. Usually, he would have been commentating alongside Mark Skaife for the Supercars sessions, but it has been Skaife and Chad Neylon instead. Supercars confirmed that Crompton was suffering from a suspected case of food poisoning, which led to his decision not to come to the track. They expect him to return to the commentary box as soon as possible. A spokesperson for Supercars stated that Crompton was ill and currently recovering, and he will resume his normal duties soon. In pre-qualifying practice, Kostecki dominated the Bathurst 1000.
