The Supercars driver at the centre of a COVID-19 vaccination probe is Australian David Reynolds, according to motorsport.com.
The website broke the news this week that a driver was being investigated by NSW Health, amid allegations a vaccine exemption he had used to cross from Victoria to NSW was invalid.
The investigation is in progress despite Supercars insisting that all of its drivers are compliant with COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

“NSW Health is providing advice to Supercars to ensure that all participants meet the vaccination requirements and the events proceed in a COVID-safe manner,” a NSW Health spokesperson said in a statement supplied to Wide World of Sports.
