Whincup adds two more poles
Jamie Whincup secured another two pole positions in final qualifying for this weekend's V8 Supercar event at Barbagallo
The grids for both races two and three were set in a busy 20-minute session this morning, with drivers' fastest times counting for the race two starting order and second-fastest times forming the race three line-up.
The top three will be the same for both, with Whincup on pole ahead of Jason Bright's Brad Jones Racing Holden, and Whincup's Triple 8 Holden team-mate Craig Lowndes in third.
HRT's Garth Tander had a much better qualifying session than yesterday to take fifth for race two, behind leading Ford driver Alex Davison (Stone Brothers) and fourth for race three. Tander's team-mate James Courtney completes the race three top five.
The two 50-lap races will be run on soft tyres, unlike Saturday's hard tyre event, which saw Whincup lead Lowndes home in a Triple 8 one-two.
