Shane van Gisbergen has claimed his 50th Supercars victory, extending his lead at the top of the 2021 standings in the process.
The Kiwi took out both races in the Townsville 500 at the weekend to bring up the achievement, and further extend his gap on Red Bull Ampol Racing teammate Jamie Whincup in the season standings.
Today's win was van Gisbergen's 10th from 16 races in 2021, becoming just the seventh driver to have won 10 or more races in a season, with 15 races left in this campaign to rack up more victories.
Qualifying to start second for the race, van Gisbergen immediately had ground to make up from the start as he was shuffled back to fourth through the opening turn.
He was able to work back into third around the second turn but it wasn't until the 11th that he had worked back to his starting position.
