Delve into an action-packed opening day of the Supercars Townsville 500 with the Friday edition of our daily podcasts.

The Townsville weekend kicked off with a bang, almost literally, with a bomb scare that delayed early track action.

When Supercars did get underway it was Cam Waters that owned the day, converting a front row start into victory as his season resurgence continues.

He was under plenty of pressure from fast Ford drivers Brodie Kostecki and Matt Payne, though, with some strategy intrigue ultimately making the difference.

One team that applied no pressure was Triple Eight, which endured a bizarre day that saw its Mustangs never trouble the front of the field.

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus unpack those key storylines, and plenty more, in the Friday daily pod.
