Supercars sophomore Evans tops Perth practice

Jaxon Evans has kicked off Supercars action in Perth by setting the fastest time in the opening practice session.

The Brad Jones Racing driver surged to the top of the time sheet at Wanneroo Raceway on Friday, clocking 55.086 seconds after putting on new soft tyres.

He was 0.359 seconds quicker than fellow sophomore driver Ryan Wood, with championship leader Broc Feeney third fastest.

Rookies and drivers in their second year are allotted an extra set of tyres for practice, allowing Evans to post his time.

Evans will be out to continue his rise after posting his career-best qualifying result in Tasmania last round, starting seventh in the final sprint race.

“It’s really nice to finish the session on top. It’s the first time I’ve done it in Supercars,” Evans said.

“It’s just nice to know that the car is fast. Hopefully we can continue that way.”

Triple Eight ace Feeney is out to extend his 33-point lead over reigning champion Will Brown, eyeing a clean sweep of the three sprint races in Perth.

Brown was sixth fastest in practice.

Meanwhile, Walkinshaw Andretti United’s Wood will hope to break through for a maiden career win after finishing on the podium for the first time in New Zealand.

Team 18 duo Anton De Pasquale and David Reynolds both had hairy moments at turn six, with 17th-fastest Reynolds travelling deep into the sand trap.

De Pasquale was lucky to avoid beaching himself, finishing fourth fastest.
