Jamie Whincup and Mark Winterbottom will line-up on the front-row of the grid for the penultimate race of the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship in Sydney.
Winterbottom was the biggest mover in the Top 10 Shootout, gaining five places from his qualifying position.
Although Winterbottom's 1:28.99s lap withstood the efforts of five drivers, final man Whincup would not be denied, lapping 0.15s quicker than his rival.
“To move up to second is a good result, but Jamie did a good lap,” said Winterbottom.
“It's going to be an interesting start with us both fighting for this thing from the front-row. There'll be fireworks I'm sure.”
Tekno Autosports duo Shane van Gisbergen and Jonathon Webb will share the second row, despite both tagging the Turn 1 exit fence on their laps.
Jason Bright, Will Davison, Fabian Coulthard, Tony D'Alberto, David Reynolds and Craig Lowndes completed the shootout runners.
Lowndes attacked his lap from the outset and eventually came unstuck at Turn 9, where he lost the rear of his Red Bull Holden under braking and made light contact with the outside tyre wall.
The first 250km race of the weekend will kick-off at 1710 local time.
