Back to where it began: Reynolds' journey to 350

David Reynolds will head to next weekend’s Beaurepaires Tasmania SuperSprint as the freshest face in the 350 club.

Last month, Reynolds became the 23rd driver in ATCC/Supercars history to record 350 championship race starts at Sandown, where his Supercars journey began in 2007.

The Kelly Grove Racing recruit christened the milestone with a sterling drive to third, marking his first podium since 2019.
