Brodie Kostecki has all but won his maiden Supercars<\/a> title after Shane van Gisbergen<\/a> was eliminated from the opening race of the Adelaide 500 in a first-lap crash.<\/p>\n

Kostecki's teammate Will Brown \u2013 who will replace van Gisbergen at the Red Bull team next year when the three-time champ departs for NASCAR<\/a> \u2013 was pushed into the wall on the exit of just the fourth corner of the race by the Ford Mustang of Anton de Pasquale.<\/p>\n

Brown was then hit from behind by an unsighted van Gisbergen, which ripped the right-rear wheel off the Brown car, and the left front off the van Gisbergen car.<\/p>\n

Both were out of the race on the spot.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Van Gisbergen entered the race with a 131-point deficit to Kostecki and needed to outscore the Erebus ace by 20 points to keep the championship alive heading into the final race of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Shane<\/p>\n

"I haven't even worked up a sweat yet," Brown said on the broadcast.<\/p>\n

"Everyone blocks on the inside … so I went for the outside.<\/p>\n

"I knew I had a good overlap, I would have tucked him behind him if I wasn't at least completely next to him. I thought (De Pasquale) would be able to see me and knew I was completely there, but obviously not.<\/p>\n

"I'm not going to judge it too much, he probably just thought he'd run me a little bit wide, and then I ended up in the fence and unfortunately took out one of the championship leaders as well.<\/p>\n

\"Shane<\/p>\n

"So, tough day … it's a bit disappointing."<\/p>\n

Triple Eight team boss Jamie Whincup lamented the relatively low starting positions of his two drivers.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"It was unfortunate, but when you qualify sixth and 11th you're exposed to stuff like this happening, and that's what happened\ufeff," he said.<\/p>\n

"We'll see what we'll see but it's pretty much all done for us unfortunately."\ufeff<\/p>\n

Kostecki started the race from pole, and now effectively only needs to finish the race to secure the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
