SYDNEY (AP) " Will Davison, driving a Holden, held out a stern late challenge from Shane van Ginsbergen to win the Bathurst 1000 motor race Sunday for the second time and by the smallest margin in the event's 53-year history. Then, when he slowed to make redress he impeded Tander's Holden which was struck by McLaughlin as he rejoined the race. Davison was called on to conserve fuel while also trying to hold out the late challenge of van Ginsbergen and just hung on. Davison and Webb had been involved in a similar duel with van Ginsbergen in the 2014 race when the New Zealander van Ginsbergen emerged victorious. Whincup, who seemed to be driving to a successful fuel strategy, apologized to Tander and McLaughlin after the race.
