Ford's Lee Holdsworth has upset red-hot Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin to top the timesheets in practice for the Townsville 400.
The Tickford Racing driver clocked a last-gasp one minute and 12.6772 seconds lap on the Reid Park street circuit on Friday to finish ahead of Holden's Shane Van Gisbergen (1:12.6904).
DJR Team Penske star McLaughlin, who comes into the weekend holding a 319-point lead in the standings after winning 12 of 16 races in 2019, had been leading the timesheets until the dying seconds, with his 1:12.6974 fast enough for third on the timesheets.
Holden's David Reynolds, who didn't even come out of his garage in a rain-affected morning practice session, was fourth-fastest with a 1:12.
