Jamie Whincup has taken both pole positions for today’s two 120km races at Barbagallo Raceway in Perth.
In a V8 Supercars first, this morning’s 20 minute qualifying session determined the grid positions for two races.
Whincup’s double pole for Races 8 and 9 of the V8 Supercars Championship puts him equal fourth overall with Dick Johnson on the all-time pole list.
The TeamVodafone championship leader will start ahead of Jason Bright (Team BOC) in both races, while Craig Lowndes will line-up third in both events.
Beyond Lowndes, the positions start to get jumbled. IRWIN Racing’s Alex Davison is fourth for Race 8, but seventh for Race 9.
The biggest variance between a driver’s starting spot in the two races in James Moffat. The Dick Johnson Racing driver will line-up 12th and 21st in the two races – a gap of nine place.
