TWO NEW NAMES WERE ADDED TO THE list of Supercars race winners at Sandown, as Cam Waters and Richie Stanaway combined to take their maiden main game victories.
AUSTRALIAN SUPERCARS
SANDOWN 500 (AUS)
SEPTEMBER 17
ROUND 10/14
The series’ long-distance races may be famous for throwing up unlikely winners, but there was no hint of good fortune or fluke about this victory. The Prodrive Racing pair were both on the pace from the o, starting with Waters going sixth in the provisional qualifying session.
Stanaway built on that performance expertly during the 20-lap co-driver qualifying race on Saturday afternoon, finishing third behind Erebus driver Luke Youlden and DJR Team Penske’s Alex Premat, two drivers with significantly more Supercars experience.
