Kiwi Supercars driver Matt Payne has had a dream start to the season. 

He’s been racing under Grove and Penrite, and has already racked up three wins for the season. 

It’s had fans and former drivers raving about his prospects as a future champion and considering he’s currently sitting third on the overall ladder, he’ll be hoping it’s the very near future.  

Two of his wins so far came in the same weekend, on the home track at Taupo. 

“I think that was a pretty special weekend for, for all of us,” Payne told Hosking. 

“Y’know, two wins in one weekend is pretty cool, and I think for me, winning at home, especially in front of the New Zealand crowd, it couldn’t have been any better.” 

His other win came in Tasmania, Payne moving from his starting position in 10th to claim the victory. 

“That was a pretty special race,” he said. 

“Just how everything played out, as the tyres were going away, and just how close it was at the end... it definitely stayed with me for a while.” 

“Pretty awesome race.”
