Mildura’s Cam Waters has held off Brodie Kostecki in a nailbiter on Friday at the NTI Townsville 500, leading the 2023 champion home by 0.2 of a second.
It is Waters’ second straight Friday win, having taken the Friday win also in Darwin last month.
Matt Payne rounded out the podium for Grove Racing, and has now taken an 8-point lead in the drivers’ championship over Broc Feeney.
23-year old Feeney finished 10th after qualifying just 16th for today’s race, his teammate Will Brown impressively went from 19th to 7th in today’s 35-lap sprint.
Payne’s teammate Kai Allen and Toyota’s Chaz Mostert rounded out the top five in the first of three races this weekend in Townsville.
