Ton up for Whincup

Six-time Champion Jamie Whincup has become only the second Supercars driver to reach 100 race wins with today’s victory at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Whincup denied teammate Craig Lowndes a fairytale win in his 600th race to join the Supercars veteran as the only drivers with triple figure wins in the sport. Lowndes has 105 wins.

Whincup started from third on the grid for the 200km race and got the better of Lowndes in the second round of pit stops to finish 2.58sec ahead of the TeamVortex Commodore.

The Red Bull racer’s 99th win came up at Townsville in July and after being pipped by teammate Shane van Gisbergen, he got the job done today and continues to lead this year’s championship points by 137.

Defending champ Mark Winterbottom struggled through after an early tyre drama to finish 14th.
