Nash Morris returns serve after controversial Sandown clash
Morris collided with Lochie Dalton on Saturday, Dalton crashes
Dalton lost comfortable series lead with one round remaining
Nash Morris has doubled down on his controversial collision with DUNLOP Super2 Series title rival Lochie Dalton in the penultimate round at Sydney.
Morris clashed with Dalton on the opening lap of Saturday's opening race, pitching the Blanchard Racing Team Mustang into the tyre wall on the outside of Turn 4.
Dalton bounced back into the pack, and was collected by Aaron Love, almost entirely evaporating his 114-point advantage in the title race.
Second generation racer Morris had a different viewpoint, however, insisting that his move was on, and that it was Dalton who turned down on him.
"He thought I tipped him out, which is not what happened," Morris said in the post-round press conference.
"He didn't look in his mirror and I was up beside him in the braking zone at Turn 4, and I can't disappear.
"That's what happened, unfortunately."
The incident went unpunished through the race, though BRT filed a protest against the decision, with a stewards hearing held on Saturday night. The protest was dismissed.
Dalton's Ford was repaired for Sunday's race, but the Tasmanian struggled with residual damage throughout Sunday, qualifying and finishing fifth.
The biggest beneficiary was Tickford's Campbell Logan, whose breakout campaign hit new heights with a sweep of both poles and race wins to surge into the series lead.
Logan holds just a nine-point advantage over Brad Jones Racing's Brad Vaughan, with Dalton slipping to third, 15 points off the lead. Morris is 42 points behind Logan in fourth, with Reuben Goodall also a contender at 132 points behind.
The 2026 DUNLOP Super2 Series winner will be crowned at the bp Adelaide Grand Final from November 26-29.
