V8 Supercar Championship: Queensland Raceway – Race 20 live coverage, blog - The Roar
After landing his 8th pole position of the year, with another great lap on the hard tyre, Mostert would lead from virtually start to finish to win his first 200km race of the season. At the start of the race, it was an all Prodrive front row, as Winterbottom qualified second behind his team-mate. Lowndes lost position to his team-mate Whincup but gained the position back on lap 5. He would then overtake Winterbottom in the first round of pit stops. On lap 14 and 15, when Mostert and Lowndes pitted, they would both come out in front of Winterbottom by putting in less fuel and using their track position to gain an advantage. These positions would not change for the rest of the race as Mostert and Lowndes moved away from Winterbottom. When the final stops occurred between lap 30 and 37, all drivers went back onto the soft tyres, and were able to make them last for the rest of the race. David Reynolds, who moved to 4th early and stayed in that position, had a very uneventful race as he took some big points for the race. Behind him it was Garth Tander and James Courtney who finished 5th and 6th after poor qualifying positions. Source: www.theroar.com.au
