Reigning Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki has blitzed the top-10 shootout to secure pole position for the Bathurst 1000, starting beside Cam Waters on the front tow

Defending champion Richie Stanaway is 4th and fellow Kiwi Matt Payne had to settle for seventh after contact with the wall at the exit of Forrest's Elbow.

Andre Heimgartner, who shed a tear after booking a career-first shootout, was left heartbroken after he fumbled his opportunity to grab pole position at the first turn, locking up and going straight into the gravel.

He'll start 10th on the grid with Ryan Wood 14th.
