Supercars stars avoid bans for comments

Supercars' drivers Jamie Whincup and Cameron Waters have escaped bans for comments aimed at race officials following Sunday's controversial race in New Zealand.

Governing body Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) had threatened to throw the book at seven-time series champion Whincup ahead of next month's Bathurst 1000 after an extraordinary spray directed at stewards at the recent Auckland SuperSprint.

Popular Ford young gun Cameron Waters was also in hot water after he questioned whether results should stand following a controversial safety car period that marred the 200km race.

Four-time Bathurst champion Whincup passed the safety car without permission after being incorrectly identified as the race leader, receiving a drive-through penalty before finishing a distant 16th.
