Whincup leads Triple Eight one-two

Jamie Whincup extended his championship lead in V8 Supercars by coming through from eighth on the grid to head a Triple Eight Holden one-two in the second Townsville street race. A hard-charging first stint brought Whincup into contention at the front, and he then saved a set of soft tyres for the final part of the race, allowing him to pass Ford Performance Racing's Mark Winterbottom for second and then catch and pass his race-leading Triple Eight team-mate Craig Lowndes 18 laps from the end.
