Supercars star Reynolds shakes off illness

Supercars star David Reynolds has shaken off a bout of "Bali belly" in time to maintain his championship tilt in Townsville this weekend.

The Bathurst champion lost 4kg after picking up a bug during a trip to the Indonesian island following last month's Darwin Triple Crown.

The infection was so bad Reynolds had to go to hospital and be put on a drip but he says a dose of antibiotics has cleared up the illness in time for this weekend's event.

Reynolds won the Sunday race at Darwin to finish the weekend third on the championship ladder, 327 points behind leader Scott McLaughlin.
