For the second time in as many days, the Dunlop Series has produced a first-time pole winner, with Jayden Ojeda clinching top spot for Race 2 in Bathurst.

The MW Motorsport driver fired in a 2:05.8726s to claim pole, with Image Racing's Jordan Boys nearly three tenths down in second.

MW Motorsport teammate Tyler Everingham fired in a 2:06.4330s, but Ojeda managed to lower the benchmark despite a bobble at Murray's Corner.

Boys failed to beat the marker, but scuppered MW Motorsport's bid for a front-row lockout.

Ojeda's flyer was the only 2:05s lap of the session, with the 21-year-old just half a second down on Jack Le Brocq's 2017 record.
