McLaughlin eyes Supercars' Triple Crown
The elusive Supercars Triple Crown in Darwin is firmly in Scott McLaughlin's sights.
Since its inception in 2006, no driver has claimed the prize of winning both races at the event and the top-10 shootout for pole position.
McLaughlin, however, is in the form of his life and looms as real threat to create history next month in the Northern Territory.
The DJR Team Penske star claimed another pole position and race win on Sunday at Winton to stretch his championship lead to a whopping 244 points over teammate Fabian Coulthard.
McLaughlin has 10 wins and nine poles from 14 races in 2019.
"It certainly is a cool thing and I'd love to win it for sure," the New Zealander said about the Darwin prize.
