Ford driver Scott McLaughlin has continued his amazing qualifying form to secure pole position for Saturday's Supercars race at Queensland Raceway.

The DJR Team Penske driver secured his 10th pole position this season, clocking a fastest lap of one minute and 08.8167 seconds in a frantic 15-minute qualifying run for the 120km race.

But his main championship rival Jamie Whincup will have to start from the middle of the pack after being penalised five grid positions.

Having qualified ninth, Whincup will start 14th after stewards had deemed illegal contact with James Moffat's Holden as he left pitlane.
