Bright takes pole for Island race one

Bright had been fastest in the qualifying session before the shootout, and went even faster on his shootout lap to take pole position by nearly four-tenths of a second.

Alongside him on the front row will be Holden Racing Team's Will Davison, who moved up from fifth in qualifying, one place ahead of championship rival Jamie Whincup who qualified third.

The two Kelly brothers were next, Todd ahead of Rick, moving up from ninth and eighth before the shootout, with Lee Holdsworth next in sixth.

The remaining drivers in the shootout all had struggles on their laps, Craig Lowndes in seventh along with Mark Winterbottom in tenth having a couple of moments on their laps that cost them a chance of starting further on the grid, Shane van Gisbergen and Fabian Coulthard starting between them in eighth and ninth.

Just missing the top ten was Garth Tander in 11th, followed by the Jim Beam Racing duo of Steven Johnson and James Courtney. Russell Ingall was even further down the order in 17th in his Supercheap Auto Commodore.

23rd was a disappointing result for Sprint Gas's Greg Murphy after some good results in recent rounds, while 26th was a disaster for Ford Performance Racing's Steven Richards.
