Jamie Whincup has defied a tremendous challenge from David Reynolds and Scott McLaughlin to claim provisional pole for the Bathurst 1000.
The Red Bull Racing ace squeaked out the fastest time in qualifying, charting a 2:04.1093 lap at Mount Panorama.
Chaz Mostert, Fabian Coulthard and Rick Kelly all missed out on Saturday’s top ten shootout, which will set a grid for Sunday’s 1000-kilometre endurance classic.
