This day marks the monster shunt at Symmons Plains Raceway in 2017 involving 12 cars and producing an estimated $5 million in damage.

Davison incurred back pain and spent the night in hospital following the crash, he was then diagnosed with a small fracture to a bone connected to a vertebra.

The race finished under controversial circumstances, as time certainty played its hand and just one racing lap was completed after the red flag. Points were initially awarded for the four lap affair, however a review saw the race result stand with no points given to competitors.
