After 5 hard-fought rounds, the V8 Utes gang is heading to Hampton Downs for the final shootout. Will Bad Brad Kroef take out the title? Or will it be Mitch 'Baby Face' Sparrow. Daniel Ludlam is driving like he's running bootleg booze across the state line. While Glen 'Coyote' Collinson from the PJs mob is primed for a big one.>

WAIKATO IS FUELING THE V8 UTES ROUND SIX FINAL AT HAMPTON DOWNS

This weekend, Waikato is right behind the NZV8 Utes as Round 6 sponsor.

Since 1947, Waikato’s 100-percent Kiwi, family-owned and operated business has been fueling Kiwis across New Zealand. Whether you own a business, or just need to fuel up your vehicle, Waikato has the solution for you. Based in the heart of the Waikato in Hamilton, they operate more than 95 Fuel Stops and Diesel Stops stretching from Paihia to Invercargill. Market disruptors, Waikato delivers competition and choice to Kiwi motorists.

They also provide bulk fuel supply, onsite diesel supply and fuel storage solutions. Waitomo Fuel Cards give Kiwi businesses’ access to tailored commercial rates or our pump price – whichever is lowest.

So on your way to Hampton Downs this weekend, be sure to fuel up at a Waikato fuel stop along the way.
