Waters keeps Kiwi ace at bay in thriller

Ford Mustang driver Cameron Waters held off championship leader Shane van Gisbergen (Holden) to win the Supercars sprint yesterday at Winton in Queensland. The Tickford Racing star hung on to win by just four-tenths of a second. He jumped pole-sitter Van Gisbergen on the starting line and then kept the Kiwi at bay. Ford’s David Reynolds was third. The result extends Van Gisbergen’s championship lead to 196 points ahead of Ford’s Anton De Pasquale, who finished eighth.
