Dumbrell takes first pole for race two

Bottle-O Racing's Paul Dumbrell's hot streak of form continues, following up yesterday's maiden victory with his maiden pole for race two of the Norton 360 Challenge at Sandown

Dumbrell went to the top of the times just before halfway through the session before other drivers went faster, but reclaimed the top spot with two minutes remaining in the session.

Alongside him will be fellow FPR driver Mark Winterbottom, with Lee Holdsworth in third, while fourth and fifth are the two drivers Winterbottom is chasing in the championship, Jamie Whincup and James Courtney.

Sixth is Whincup's team-mate Craig Lowndes, with Jason Bright, Michael Caruso, Fabian Coulthard with one of his better qualifying results for the year and Will Davison completing the top ten.

Just missing out on the top ten are Rick Kelly and Russell Ingall in 11th and 12th, while Holden Racing Team's Garth Tander ended up even further down the order in 20th place - although less than eight tenths of a second off pole position.
