DougHOST
For you people who know what I'm talking about, you will know what I'm talking about.
DougHOST
But for those others, well, I was always a Dick Johnson fan and a Ford fan, and how good was it? I gotta say to you, I had tears in me eyes when I saw old Dick, uh, in the, um, in the pits with his wife, and tears in his eyes.
DougHOST
He just couldn't believe it.
DougHOST
It was like he'd won the race against himself.
DougHOST
And, uh, and then, uh, to watch that finish, it was just...
DougHOST
I started getting text messages from mates of mine, even a couple that aren't really car fans, who were watching, "Gosh, mate, how good was that?" Like nail-biting stuff.
DougHOST
And, uh, well done to, uh, the boys for winning that one for Dick Johnson.
DougHOST
I think that is, um, that was fantastic, and winning it for themselves as well.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Yeah.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
I think it was fantastic the look on Dick Johnson and his wife's face when they knew they were gonna win Bathurst.
Ross StevensonHOST
Ah.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
After all the bad luck he's had, that was just fantastic.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
good on you.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
I think it would pass through the look on Dick Johnson and his wife's face when they knew they were going to win Bathurst.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
After all the bad luck he's had, that was just fantastic.
Ross StevensonHOST
Brilliant.
Aaron NoonanHOST
So, and then there's all the other layers.
Aaron NoonanHOST
Don't forget, Dick Johnson and Charlie Schwerkolt have history, so Dick's team wins and Charlie's doesn't.
Aaron NoonanHOST
They had a very bitter falling out in the aftermath of their, their time together as co-owners at DJR.
Aaron NoonanHOST
To Dick's credit, he had a chance to kick Charlie in the media, and the quotes that he gave in some of the stories that I've seen, he didn't.
Brent JagoHOST
Yeah.
Nathan HepburnHOST
So Dick, he's a Dick Johnson team.
Nathan HepburnHOST
Mate, I know everything about JR.
Brent JagoHOST
Sport Dick Johnson was, yeah.
Brent JagoHOST
So he's, doesn't own it though.
Brent JagoHOST
Is he just team principal there or something, or just like a, don't know, executive or guy there as well?
Nathan HepburnHOST
Well, it, it's called, it's called Dick Johnson Racing, I think, isn't it?
Brent JagoHOST
Yeah.
Tim GineverHOST
Agath, I noticed that you worked with young Matt Payne and sort of mentored him.
Tim GineverHOST
Who was good to you when you first started? Because you were coming on the back of some of the legends of the racing, like Dick Johnson, Larry Perkins, these sort of guys.
Tim GineverHOST
Who helped you?
Garth TanderGUEST
Well, that's sort of a really... big reason why I sort of have always sort of tried to mentor and help younger drivers, certainly in the back half of my career as I became not one of the younger drivers, was that no one really, you know, I never really had that.
Garth TanderGUEST
then.
Garth TanderGUEST
You know, modern sport, there is so much mentoring and coaching and leadership and all the rest of it.
Garth TanderGUEST
But back when I was a young guy, and as you mentioned, I was racing against Dick Johnson, Larry Perkins, Alan Jones, former F1 world champion, all these, and really hard characters, like, you know, really, you know, tough blokes that had done the work and, you know, deserved to have what they had.
Garth TanderGUEST
They weren't happy with a young 21-year-old from WA waltzing in and raining on their parade.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
How do you do that?
Brodie KosteckiGUEST
They have run out of fuel, and Dick Johnson cannot believe his eyes.
Brodie KosteckiGUEST
Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood from the clouds and win the Repco Bathurst 1000.
Brodie KosteckiGUEST
The Great Race delivers.

Mark SkaifePANELIST
Yeah, the seven-year-old suit does not fit Kangoo Kim.
Paul MurrayHOST
[laughs]
Mark SkaifePANELIST
Um, yeah, I guess for me, like, yeah, I've just been a fan of the sport since I was a kid and, yeah, I was, there was no word of a lie, I was a 100 Ford supporter as a kid, and I used to send, um, Steven Johnson and Paul Radisich letters back when I was, um, you know, six, seven year old.
Mark SkaifePANELIST
You know, I was a bit of a pen pal back in the day and used to have all the merchandise.
BecHOST
suck.
BecHOST
When I was just – they got around that corner and then, yeah, you just saw him just go – and I was like – Mate, but the best thing was it was Dick Johnson.
BecHOST
Do you know Dick Johnson?
PeteHOST
Yeah.
BecHOST
Yeah, okay.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
if there's one thing we know about Brodie Kostecki, you never, ever count him out of a motor race.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is an extraordinary moment for the starry Dick Johnson Racing.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood from the clouds and with a red coat, but there's 1,000.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The great race delivers.
Peter WhiteheadHOST
It's a pilgrimage up there to Bathurst.
Peter WhiteheadHOST
It's absolutely tribal in terms of how people follow this.
Peter WhiteheadHOST
And I know growing up, it was all about Peter Brock and Dick Johnson.
Peter WhiteheadHOST
It was Ford versus Holden.
Steve CarneyHOST
They were in Mustangs.
Jordan J.P. PierceHOST
No, what sort of car? Because the one that ran out was the old shell, the old Dick Johnson looking car.
Steve CarneyHOST
No, the Dick Johnson one is the one that won it.
Jordan J.P. PierceHOST
Oh, was
Steve CarneyHOST
it? Yeah.
Steve CarneyHOST
got up.
Jordan J.P. PierceHOST
Oh, beautiful.
Jordan J.P. PierceHOST
Not beautiful or whatever, but just the old Dick Johnson racing.
