Winterbottom makes it a pole double

Mark Winterbottom completed a pole double in qualifying for the second of this weekend's V8 Supercars events at Hidden Valley. The Ford Performance Racing driver led from pole in Saturday's race until a late restart tangle with Jamie Whincup, Shane van Gisbergen and Lee Holdsworth sent Winterbottom tumbling to 15th and let Rick Kelly win.
