Supercars veterans aim for Ipswich revival

Supercars veterans Craig Lowndes and Mark Winterbottom are hoping a happy hunting ground can be the spark to ignite their underwhelming 2017 campaigns.

Lowndes and Winterbottom head into Saturday's 120km race at Queensland Raceway without a win in the championship this year and scrambling to stay in the title hunt.

Sixth-placed Winterbottom has at least got himself on the podium twice this year and a third and fourth at the Townsville 400 earlier this month gives the 36-year-old some indication of progress.

Three-time series champion Lowndes, 43, finished as runner-up to Winterbottom in the 2015 title race but now stands seventh on the ladder heading into the Ipswich SuperSprint with a third-place in Tasmania in April his best race finish of the season.
