Heimgartner stuns with dominant Tailem Bend pole
Repco Supercars Championship
By James Pavey
Andre Heimgartner has claimed a second career pole in a major boilover at The Bend Motorsport Park.
Heimgartner was the defining runner in wet conditions, with the Kelly Grove Racing driver scoring his second career pole.
It opens the door for Heimgartner to end his 160-race wait for victory, having claimed a podium at The Bend last September.
Chaz Mostert, who won the last race at Symmons Plains, was two tenths adrift of Heimgartner’s 2:07.856s, with Erebus Motorsport rookie Will Brown scoring a career-best third in the session.
