The Blue Oval is the most successful make at Winton, having won 29 of 66 championship races at the circuit.

It's close at the top, Holden has claimed 27 wins, and a clean sweep at its final Winton appearance would take it above Ford.

Slade's only career wins came on the same weekend, with the current Blanchard Racing Team driver going back-to-back for Brad Jones Racing in 2016.
