Richie Stanaway earns Supercars reprieve

All has been forgiven for controversially dumped Supercars rising star Richie Stanaway after being reinstated for the season's final two rounds, starting with next weekend's Sandown 500.

Stanaway's future appeared up in the air when he was sensationally stood down for last weekend's Gold Coast 600 finale due to disciplinary reasons after missing a fan autograph session.

Heavyweight Holden outfit Garry Rogers Motorsport (GRM) dropped the bombshell that Super2 Series driver Dylan O'Keeffe would replace Stanaway just before qualifying for last Sunday's 300km event.

And at the time GRM boss Garry Rogers gave no guarantees that Stanaway would return for the season's final two rounds ahead of a team meeting this week.
