Another Supercars pole for McLaughlin

Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin's 2019 qualifying dominance has led to another pole position for the Ford star in Perth.

McLaughlin clocked a 52.9052 second lap on Saturday afternoon at Barbagallo Raceway to claim his eighth pole of the season.

After blowing his pole position on Friday to drop from first to fourth by the opening corner, McLaughlin said his challenge was to turn his qualifying dominance into victory.

"That was a pretty good one," he said about his lap.

"Great car and great team behind me - I'm so stoked just to continue the trend.
