DJR looks to have recaptured form, and could zoom up the all-time leaderboards
  • DJR closing in on 150 poles, 150 wins in Supercars

  • WAU two away from 100 poles, 300 podiums in Supercars

  • Only Triple Eight has more than 150 wins, podiums and poles

A pole double for Brodie Kostecki in New Zealand has pushed Dick Johnson Racing towards 150 Supercars pole positions, a marker only achieved by one other team.

Kostecki claimed pole for Race 9 and Race 10 at the ITM Taupō Super 440, pushing the Shell V-Power Racing Team's tally from 146 to 148.

DJR is not only two away from 150 poles, but also two shy of 150 wins. Once DJR hits both benchmarks, it will join Triple Eight as the only teams to claim 300 podiums, 150 wins and 150 poles.

A solid start to 2025 also has Walkinshaw Andretti United on the cusp of two major milestones of its own. Chaz Mostert and Ryan Wood have combined for four podiums so far this season, pushing the team to 298 podiums.

Only Triple Eight (542), DJR (319) and Tickford Racing (304) have breached the 300-mark, with Tickford getting there on its dominant weekend in Sydney.

DJR and WAU could both reach their respective milestones at the next round in Tasmania, where drivers will vie for three pole positions and three wins.

Also this season, Matt Stone Racing has overtaken Team 18 on the podiums list, with Cameron Hill and Nick Percat combining for five podium visits. MSR started the year on three podiums, four behind Team 18, and is now one ahead.

Penrite Racing, meanwhile, is now just three wins and three poles behind Brad Jones Racing, courtesy of Matt Payne's two-win weekend in New Zealand.

Track action at the Snowy River Caravans Tasmania Super 440 commences on May 9.
