SYDNEY - Holden driver Lee Holdsworth showed that experience isn't always king as he faced a challenging Oran Park Australian V8 Supercar weekend and came away with his first round win.

After strong showings in the first two races, the 24-year-old chose to start race three on wet weather tyres.

This paid off, opening up a 6.2s gap at the end of the first lap from fourth off the grid. His lead stretched to a massive 49s at one point, giving him a well deserved win in the third race.
