Volvo's Scott McLaughlin has snared his first pole position of the year for Sunday's V8 Supercars race in Townsville.
The New Zealander clocked a shootout lap of one minute and 13.4117 seconds to snap Ford's dominance of the event.
McLaughlin's time was enough for him to move past Ford trio
David Reynolds, Chaz Mostert and Mark Winterbottom after qualifying fourth-fastest for the shootout.
After snaring 10 pole positions last year in Volvo's debut, McLaughlin has endured a tougher season this time around and he ran out of his garage in celebration after the result was confirmed.
"That's awesome," he told Fox Sports.
