A stunning come-from-behind drive in Sydney has delivered Shane van Gisbergen
his first Supercars championship, denying Jamie Whincup a record seventh title.
Babe Ruth Braves Jersey .The Holden gun
finished third behind his Red Bull Racing teammate Whincup in the opening race
of the season-ending round for an unassailable points lead.But he had looked
unlikely to close it out on Saturday after copping an early drive-through
penalty.The Kiwi - who started on pole position - paid the price for spinning
reigning champion Mark Winterbottoms Ford, sending van Gisbergen towards the
back of the grid.A safety car with 25 laps to go helped shoot him up to ninth,
before clawing his way up to third with some superb driving and brave
passing.The result takes his lead over Whincup to 170 points, more than the 150
on offer in Sundays final race.He becomes the first New Zealand-born driver to
win an Australian touring car crown since Jim Richards in 1991.Van Gisbergen had
been considered a mercurial talent since he started racing in the category in
2007 as a gung-ho 18-year-old.But after switching to the factory-backed Red Bull
outfit this season from the family-run Tekno Autosports, the 27-year-old has
been incredibly consistent and measured.He finished on the podium in each of the
past eight races leading up to the finale, including Sandown, Bathurst and Gold
Coast.Three of those were wins, while Whincup took out the other five.Van
Gisbergens hot form continued on the streets of Olympic Park, setting a new lap
record in practice on Friday before smashing it again in qualifying.The season
ends with a second 74-lap race on Sunday, the last time Sydney will host the
finale before it heads to Newcastle in 2017.Van Gisbergen was quick to apologise
to Winterbottom after the race and credit his awesome car for getting a
championship-winning podium.What an amazing year, he said.Its a pretty awesome
day.Whincup said he gave it his all but congratulated van Gisbergen.The winner
of the championship is the most consistent, and theyve been the most consistent,
the six-time title-winner said.It was not quite our year but I hope everyone
enjoyed the battle and looking forward to doing it all again next year.

rules and regulations set forth by the NFL in the collective bargaining
agreement with the NFLPA.Moving forward, he has no choice but to hold himself
accountable to Jeffrey Lurie, Coach [Doug] Pederson and his staff, his
teammates, and to the entire organization and our fans. When he returns from

disappointed with Arbitrator James Carters summary ruling, Johnsons attorney

that decision, we will consider all available legal options.The Eagles plan to
start rookie Halapoulivaati Vaitai at right tackle against the Redskins this

offseason that included a $10 million signing bonus and $35.5 million
guaranteed. His base salary for this season is $675,000, so he has to forfeit
