I felt the star of night 2 was Jason Long. Personally I would have given him the Spike Richardson award though Jack Miers was a worthy recipient.
Whilst Miers brought the Panthers back into the semi-final it was Long who was largely able to nullify his advance, giving the opportunity for Thomas Stanaway to win the race. Then in the final he blocked well and ultimately landed the hit on 217gb which put the final nail in the coffin for the Brits.
With his 2nz last season and Grand Prix win this season Jason Long must now be viewed in the top echelon of Superstock drivers.

Feel pretty ripped off for Jason, he had the better of Jack in the semi and that showed clearly when the Hawkeyes won the race. Agree totally that Jack was a hard charger and is a very special talent though.

They were really on the back foot. Unable to get past long and hawke eyes had a huge lead and 1 2. Long got rolled and what happened? Didnt jack run all weekend? Isnt it a blockmans throphy? Im not sure how you class warrior of the oval. |

I thought Jason would have been a worthy winner also from what I saw on live stream , he did a lot of little crucial things, it's hard to call though without knowing who does and how this is awarded. Jack as the local boy got a good amount of air time from his local track announcer at a more animated level which in turn winds up the crowd ( taking nothing away from his outstanding efforts )
