The unseen internal Bathurst tension for Triple Eight
Triple Eight entered the race with both of their main cars near the front of the field, which was good in one way but risky due to the possibility of double stacking. The situation became more complicated when both cars had great starts, with Whincup taking the lead and Stanaway moving up to fourth. The teams were worried about losing track position and a battle ensued in the garage. Ultimately, Whincup’s team won by pitting early and undercutting Stanaway when the first safety car came out. Despite the success, there was tension in the garage as strategies were developed to avoid double stacking. Team manager Mark Dutton faced the difficult task of managing the two competing factions.
