Lowndes win brings Supercars shake-up
Normality has been restored at the top of the Supercars standings, where Jamie Whincup's name sits once again.
But the reigning champion says he's not counting the points ... yet.
"It means nothing," he said of being series leader after eight races.
"You go out and try and win as many races as you can and the points will look after themselves.
"It's not good being out of contention but being within a couple hundred points (at this stage of the season) is fine."
Whincup takes over at the top from teammate Shane van Gisbergen, who charted 25th after a throttle and brake issue ruined his Sunday drive at Symmons Plains in Tasmania.
