The Dick Johnson Racing driver had a difficult race en route to 10th at Surfers Paradise but has been scrubbed from the results after the rear-left tyre fitted on his Ford Mustang during a pitstop was found to be below the 17psi requirement.
"After the Race and following admission by Racing Team (Aust) Pty Ltd that during a Pit Stop for Car 11, the incoming rear left tyre on the Car was below the minimum pressure of 17psi when fitted, the Stewards imposed the recommended minimum penalty of disqualification from Race 32 on Car 11, Anton De Pasquale," read a statement from stewards.
