 Ricky Stenhouse Jr. extended is advantage atop the NASCAR Nationwide Series standings on Sunday (May 20) with a dominant victory at Iowa Speedway.

Ford Performance Racing took a clean sweep of V8 Supercars' trip to Phillip Island with Mark Winterbottom taking opening race honours and Will Davison triumphing in the second.

Securing their first win of the 2012 Avon Tyres British GT Championship, Jonathan Adam and Andrew Howard capitalised on a pit-stop error by the RJN Motorsport team to put their Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage on the top step of the podium in the first race at the Nurburgring, before Matt Griffin and Duncan Cameron also claimed their maiden win of the season in race two.
