After spending most of the Supercars season fighting a Kiwi invasion, Holden's Jamie Whincup is out to strike back on New Zealand soil this weekend.
The Red Bull Holden Racing Team driver heads across the Tasman for this weekend's Auckland SuperSprint event holding a narrow lead in a five-way championship battle.
Just 189 points separate the top five contenders with New Zealand trio Scott McLaughlin, Fabian Coulthard and Shane Van Gisbergen among the title chasers.
Whincup and teammate Van Gisbergen have dominated at Pukekohe Park Raceway in recent years, winning five of the past seven Supercars races at the 2.
