Van Gisbergen, Davison split final Pukekohe poles

Shane van Gisbergen and Will Davison have taken the final two Supercars poles on offer at Pukekohe.

Van Gisbergen delighted his home fans with pole for Sunday’s first sprint.

Davison, who won on Saturday, cantered to a ninth pole of the season shortly after.

The Shell V-Power Racing Team driver will share the Race 29 front row with Cam Waters.

Van Gisbergen, meanwhile, will start alongside Red Bull Ampol Racing teammate Broc Feeney.

“It’s going to be a special day today,” Davison said.

“It’s been an incredible atmosphere all week.

“I won’t claim all the support; the Blue Oval [fans] just loves this car 17.

“An iconic car, massive support, an honour to represent it and do it justice with a lap like that.

“Now the important stuff starts."

In the first session, Anton De Pasquale was the pace-setter after the first runs on a 1:02.481s.

Van Gisbergen and Davison were just behind ahead of Andre Heimgartner and Feeney.

Feeney burst out of the blocks with a 1:02.171s, and loomed to score a shock pole.

However, van Gisbergen stole it at the death, albeit by just 0.062s.

Davison missed out on pole by 0.068s, with De Pasquale fourth ahead of Waters.

Van Gisbergen, who was soundly beaten on Saturday, celebrated raucously in his car.

However, he didn’t have an answer to Davison in the Race 29 session.

The 40-year-old dropped in a 1:01.921s to put 0.22s on Waters, with De Pasquale third.

Feeney was fourth ahead of Heimgartner and Scott Pye, with David Reynolds dropping van Gisbergen to eighth.
