Ryan Wood Makes History as Toyota's First Supercars Race Winner
The 22-year-old became Toyota’s first Supercars winner after holding off Broc Feeney and Chaz Mostert in Race 9.
- Ryan Wood secured Toyota's first Supercars victory at the ITM Taupo Super 440, triumphing in Race 9. The 22-year-old local driver claimed his second career win against established stars in New Zealand.
- After claiming Toyota's first pole position earlier in the day, Wood dominated most of the 60 laps in Race 9. He briefly lost the lead to Mostert on Lap 43 but quickly recovered to reclaim the top spot.
- Australian driver Brodie Kostecki won the first race of the round, extending his Supercars Championship lead. Broc Feeney finished second and Mostert third to round out the podium behind Wood.
- Supercars organizers cancelled the final day of racing due to Cyclone Vaianu approaching the North Island. Interim Supercars boss Barclay Nettlefold said, "A cyclone of this intensity leaves no other option."
- Race 10 of the Supercars Championship will now take place next week during the Christchurch Super 440. Organizers added the event to the opening day to compensate fans for the disruption.
