Supercars: Van Gisbergen takes all three race wins in Tasmania
Shane van Gisbergen has completed a clean sweep at the NED Whisky Tasmania SuperSprint and sent an ominous warning to the rest of the field that he is out for a third Supercars title in 2022.
The Red Bull Ampol Racing ace became the first driver to win all three races at a Symmons Plains weekend since Garth Tander in 2005.
After winning race 4 earlier today, the kiwi also took home a maximum 105 points in Race 5, having set the fastest lap of the race.
For second and third, Will Davison beat home his Shell Ford teammate Anton De Pasquale, who is now 69 points behind van Gisbergen who sits atop the Championship standings after two rounds.
It was van Gisbergen’s 58th career victory, and means he now sits outright fourth on the all-time win list behind Jamie Whincup (124 wins) Craig Lowndes (110) and Mark Skaife (90).
“It’s pretty awesome,” van Gisbergen said.
“The car’s been really good all weekend… each race we had to work for it.
“I’m pumped… I was screaming over the radio pretending I had no rear, so they pitted early.
“We’ve got some tough competition from these guys, I don’t mean that in a bad way.”
Reynolds was fourth ahead of Todd Hazelwood, who matched Matt Stone Racing’s best race result in fifth. Cam Waters was sixth ahead of Mark Winterbottom.
Rookie Broc Feeney, who claimed a maiden podium in Race 4, finished eighth ahead of James Courtney and Nick Percat.
Chaz Mostert, who entered the weekend as series leader, finished a lowly 18th and is now 145 points from van Gisbergen, having been outscored by the latter by 172 points.
