The Grove Racing driver charged from the back of the field – thanks to a power steering failure in qualifying – to finish fifth in the third and final heat of the Perth Super440 earlier this month.

Should Supercars successfully appeal the initial outcome, sanctions could range from a loss of teams’ championship points to disqualification from race.
