Supercars: De Pasquale wins Sydney opener
Anton De Pasquale has continued his dominance of the Bunnings Trade Sydney SuperNight by winning Race 20 of the 2021 Supercars season under the lights at Sydney Motorsport Park.
The Shell V-Power Racing Team driver was briefly challenged by fellow front-row starter Will Brown but led all 32 laps for his second win of the season.
Repco Supercars Championship leader Shane van Gisbergen got home five seconds in arrears in second position, extending his margin at the top of the table to 312 points, with Brodie Kostecki rounding out the podium in the other Erebus Motorsport entry.
Brad Jones Racing’s Nick Percat brought the #8 R&J Batteries ZB Commodore to the checkered flag in fourth, with Brown salvaging fifth after a slow pit stop, and also collecting the five points for the fastest lap.
