Bathurst champion Craig Lowndes will start Saturday's Gold Coast Supercars race from a lowly 21st position after being penalised for an incident during qualifying.
Lowndes was swerving across the Surfers Paradise street circuit while warming up his tyres in the 20-minute session when Ford driver Richie Stanaway came up behind him on a flying lap.
The Holden veteran failed to react in time and the pair collided, with race stewards imposing a five-grid spot penalty on Lowndes for his role in the incident.
"We all talk about traffic round here and I was one of them today, unfortunately," Lowndes said.
