Erebus Motorsport’s David Reynolds claimed his 2nd win of the 2018 Supercars season at the CrownBet Darwin Triple Crown. Scott McLaughlin in his V-Power Ford Falcon was runner-up after surviving a mechanical scare.
Reynolds snatched the lead at the first corner and never looked back, winning despite a late Safety Car period that threatened to leave him vulnerable to Shane van Gisbergen on fresher tyres.
Scott McLaughlin and Jamie Whincup rounded out the podium at Hidden Valley while van Gisbergen was fourth, McLaughlin surviving a mid-race scare in an overheating Shell Ford.
