Lowndes penalised in Supercars qualifying
Bathurst champion Craig Lowndes will start Saturday's Gold Coast Supercars race from a lowly 21st position after being penalised for an incident during qualifying.
Lowndes was swerving across the Surfers Paradise street circuit while warming up his tyres, unaware of Ford driver Richie Stanaway behind him on a fast lap, and was hit with a five grid position penalty after Stanaway was impeded by the Holden veteran.
