Woodstock Highlights - Top 10 Shootout Bathurst

Jamie Whincup has claimed pole position for tomorrow’s Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, after pipping Scott McLaughlin in this evening’s ARMOR ALL Top 10 Shootout by just 0.0652 sec.

The Red Bull Holden Commodore VF driver’s lap was ragged but incredibly fast, brushing the wall at the top of the mountain before stopping the clock at 2 min 05.4263 sec.

“It wasn’t the tidiest lap but she was hooked up on brand new green tyres,” said Whincup, who will go for his first win at Bathurst since 2012 with co-driver Paul Dumbrell.

“There’s this rumour getting around you can’t win from pole, but it’s the best place to start. Tune her up tonight and see how we go tomorrow.”
