With Scott McLaughlin poised to break his long-standing record for most race wins in a Supercars season, Craig Lowndes has hailed the Ford star's 2019 form.
McLaughlin has won 16 races so far this year, equalling the record set by Lowndes in 1996.
A win in either of this weekend's two 200km races at Pukekohe Park in New Zealand will make the DJR Team Penske racer the most successful in a single season in championship history.
Lowndes says McLaughlin's dominance, which has enabled him to open up a whopping 573-point lead in the title standings, is no fluke.
