Frosty Scores FPR’s Maiden Win for2010

FORD PERFORMANCE RACING’S MARK WINTERBOTTOM SCORED HIS MAIDEN WIN IN THE 2010 V8 SUPERCAR SEASON DURING THE FIRST OF TWO RACES AT THE SKYCITY TRIPLE CROWN IN DARWIN ON JUNE 18-20.

Starting from pole, Winterbottom was never challenged for the lead over the 42 laps in what was his most dominant performance this year.

“I can’t express how good it feels to get our first win out of the way,” Frosty said.

“It is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the whole team over the past few weeks… the car is feeling about as good as it gets right now so hopefully we can continue to build on this and really get our championship campaign back on track.”

It has been a long time between drinks for Frosty whose last race win was on the streets of Surfers Paradise last year.

“We’ve really found it a challenge to get the car up to a level where we can fine tune it over the course of a practice or qualifying session, but now that Campbell (Little – his engineer) has most of his pieces in place on the car, a tenth here and there is a lot easier to find,” he said.
