McLaughlin's Supercars deal a 'no-brainer'

Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin hasn't ruled out one day racing in the US but has committed to the Australian championship for now.

McLaughlin has inked a new deal with DJR Team Penske, keeping him with the Ford outfit until at least the end of next year.

The 26-year-old, who has won 12 of 16 races in 2019 to head into this weekend's Townsville 400 with a 319-point lead, said committing to a fourth-season with DJR was an easy decision to make.

"It was just a mutual decision. It wasn't really talked about too much," McLaughlin said.
