Frankie wins 240's in New Zealand - way to go, Frankie

We are happy little bears indeed having just heard that Frankie has won the 240's Superstocks World Championship in New Zealand! The racing in New Zealand is team-racing, so our congratulations go not just to Frankie but also to Stuart Smith Jnr, Tom Harris and Mark Taylor for protecting Frankie from the other drivers. Frankie went into Heat 3 with the highest number of points, and the Kiwi drivers were determined to stop him winning - Frankie took a big hit and was pinned against the wall, but he broke free to cross the finish line sideways with two flat tyres and 1 point in the lead! This is the 3rd time Frankie has won the 240's and he is the only driver ever to win the title 3 times.
Spot Frankie's 2 flat tyres in the photograph!

Way to go, Frankie - you are such a star!
