Owen on Island race one pole

Owen beat Warren Luff to pole, with the two cars on the front row being shared with the top two drivers in the championship, Jamie Whincup and James Courtney.

Behind them are series regulars Shane van Gisbergen, with Garth Tander heading a closely-matched group including Jason Bargwanna, Jack Perkins (driving a Ford!), Luke Youlden, Todd Kelly despite a late off and David Reynolds in the car he will be sharing with Will Davison. Mark Skaife completes the top 10 in the other Team Vodafone car.

An early off for James Moffat, son of touring car legend Allan, in the car he will be sharing with Steven Richards, the son of another touring car legend, will see them start from the back in 29th position.
