Lowndes' mind on Bathurst ahead of Ipswich
Ipswich may be in Craig Lowndes' sights but Bathurst is on his mind.
The Supercars great has relished a return to the track for this weekend's Ipswich SuperSprint after the frenzyn following his announcement a fortnight ago he would retire from full-time driving at season's end.
Lowndes said he had no regrets about his shock call and would be "pushing hard" for an unprecedented 13th win at his final Ipswich event.
He made a promising start on Friday, finishing third fastest in opening practice before tyre balance issues relegated him to ninth in the next session ahead of Saturday's opening race.
