Toby Price’s disqualification from the San Felipe 250 also impacts Paul Weel, who shares driving duties of the #46 Trophy Truck with Price.

Following the verdict, Weel announced on Sunday night that he will conduct his own investigation into Team Australia. While he understands and will honor the verdict given by SCORE’s Competition Review Board, he wants to hold the involved team personnel accountable.

“As a team owner, the safety of every competitor on the race course is very important to me,” Weel stated. “I have invested significantly in off-road racing because I believe in it and everything I do within motorsport is built on those values.

“I don’t condone any of the conduct that has been alleged. I want to be transparent that I will be carrying out my own internal review due to the fact that I was not present. This will be based on the information and evidence that has been presented to me. I respect the decision handed down by the Competition Review Board and acknowledge the process they have followed. That process exists for a reason.

“What I can speak to with complete confidence is the standard I hold this team to. That standard has not changed and it will not change. I will continue to do what is right by this sport, by my team, and by the competitors who I share the course with.”

The disqualification came after Price was caught stacking rocks on the course the day before the race. Co-driver Brent Bauman was also implicated in the matter. Weel, on the other hand, stressed that he had nothing to do with it.

Price started Saturday’s race in the #46 before trading off with Weel. The two finished eighth in Trophy Truck and 17th overall before the DSQ was handed out on Sunday.

Fellow Australians who previously raced the Boost Mobile Super Trucks together, Weel and Price created Team Australia in 2022. They won the 2024 Baja 500, then placed runner-up in the 2025 TT standings with a pair of runner-up finishes at the Baja 500 and 400.
