Van Gisbergen leads Red Bull one-two in NZ

Hometown hero Shane Van Gisbergen has won Saturday's Supercars race at Pukekohe, as Red Bull Holden Racing Team secured a one-two finish.

The New Zealander, who secured pole position earlier in the day, held off teammate Jamie Whincup to claim his fifth career win at the Pukekohe Park circuit in the 200km sprint race.

Whincup made the most of a fast car and a pitlane strategy gamble to climb from 12th at the starting grid to second.

The seven-time champion opted to pit early after Mark Winterbottom's Irwin Racing Commodore inexplicably ran out of fuel on the 13th lap.
