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.
Chaz Mostert takes first victory with WAU, breaks Triple Eight monopoly of wins

Chaz Mostert has finally broken through for his first win with Walkinshaw Andretti United after failing to record a victory throughout 2020, finally converting for the first time in the 2021 Supercars season.
Having started second on the grid next to former Tickford Racing team-mate Cam Waters, Mostert quickly took the lead and never looked back, securing the first win for the squad since Scott Pye won at the Australian Grand Prix support race back in 2018.
The win also breaks a streak of Triple Eight victories with Shane van Gisbergen winning the first six races of the year, followed by Jamie Whincup extending it to seven with a first place finish earlier today.
Cam Waters snares double Sunday pole at Symmons Plains
1 day ago
Cam Waters secured a brace of pole positions for the two Supercars Championship races at Symmons Plains.
Both sessions would once see the field split in two to try and reduce any potential track issues around the short Symmons Plains circuit, but without the knockout element seen ahead of race one on Saturday.
Qualifying for round seven saw Waters set the early pace in Group A during the eight minutes of running, but it would only be after a quick trip to the pits that the fastest laps would then be set.

Symmons Plains was another circuit that was sorely missed in the Covid-19 affected schedule for the 2020 Supercars championship and after a year on the sidelines, the Tasmania SuperSprint put on a spectacle.
Delayed by a week also, due to border closures in response to the most recent breakout of Covid-19 in Queensland, seeing the Supercars grid tackle the 2.4km, shortest circuit on the calendar was a sight for sore eyes.
From breaking a long-standing record for wins, to a confusing qualifying format and all the other fix-ins – here are the talking points from the Tasmania SuperSprint.
