The Friday Crash Miracle: Stone Brothers' Inaugural Win

Friday, Mount Panorama, 1998. Jason Bright's Stone Brothers Racing Ford EL Falcon hit the wall hard during Friday running. A car with genuine front-running pace, reduced to wreckage before the weekend had even begun. Most teams would have packed up and gone home.

Not Ross and Jim Stone. The brothers and their crew worked through the night rebuilding the car. By Saturday morning, the car was ready to race. Bright managed just one flying lap in the repaired car. One lap. It was good enough for 15th on the grid.

AND THEN IT WON THE RACE!

The 1998 FAI 1000 brought a fierce field to the mountain: defending winners Larry Perkins and Russell Ingall, the fast Holden Racing Team Commodore of Craig Lowndes and Mark Skaife, Glenn Seton and Neil Crompton. None of them could stop the #4 Pirtek Falcon. After more than six hours and 40 minutes of racing, Bright and co-driver Steven Richards crossed the line 10.3 seconds clear of Perkins to claim the chequered flag.

The chassis itself carried history. Built new by Alan Jones Racing in 1996, it had failed to finish Bathurst twice before, in 1996 and 1997. Third time was the charm.

This was Jason Bright's one and only Bathurst victory. This was Steven Richards' first of five. This was Stone Brothers Racing's only triumph at the mountain during their time in V8 Supercars, the team that would later win three consecutive championships with Marcos Ambrose and Russell Ingall. And this remains the only Ford Bathurst win in an eleven-year Holden-dominated stretch between 1995 and 2005.

A wall on Friday. One flying lap on Saturday. A win on Sunday. It remains one of the most improbable stories in Bathurst history.
