Prodrive pounces

Chaz Mostert has taken his second ARMOR ALL Pole Position of the season at the place his pole run begun last year.

After a tough day yesterday at the Perth SuperSprint, the Falcons bounced back this morning with Mark Winterbottom locking in third and Chris Pither a surprise fourth-place finisher in the 20-minute qualifying session.

Yesterday’s winner Craig Lowndes spoilt the party in P2, though his nearest teammate is Shane van Gisbergen back in sixth position.

The 26 car field was separated by less than one second in the 20-minute session, with all four manufacturers featuring in the top 10 with Rick Kelly’s Nissan seventh and Scott McLaughlin’s Volvo ninth.

Local driver Garth Tander cracked the top 10, though his Holden Racing Team teammate James Courtney was 16th.
