Key moments that won Bathurst for DJR and left another team in tears

Key points

  • Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood of Dick Johnson Racing won the 2026 Bathurst 1000 after a dramatic final stint. Their lead vanished when a slow pit stop on lap 125 dropped Kostecki to fifth.
  • Team 18's Anton De Pasquale then led with Zach Bates closing fast, until a safety car was called after Chaz Mostert crashed. De Pasquale ran out of fuel one lap from the flag, leaving Team 18 devastated.
  • Kostecki, who had passed Bates, took the lead with 22 corners remaining and crossed the line first.
