A golden moment

New Supercars centurion Jamie Whincup has been presented with a special gold helmet to mark his milestone.

Supercars Chief Executive James Warburton presented Whincup with the helmet following  his 100th career win at the Red Rooster Sydney SuperSprint today.

“This is another incredible achievement in Jamie’s highly decorated career which includes a record six Supercars Championships and four Bathurst 1000 wins,” Warburton said.

“He is only the second driver behind Craig Lowndes to bring up 100 race wins and it is testament to his skill, single-mindedness and hard work as well as the dedicated team behind him.

“Jamie has proved to be one of the greatest ever champions of our sport and we congratulate him on this most deserved milestone.”
