McLaughlin secures Supercars pole again

Scott McLaughlin's love affair with Phillip Island has continued, with the New Zealander securing a record sixth consecutive Supercars pole at the Victorian venue.

The Shell V-Power driver backed up his victory in Saturday's race to again be at the front of the grid for Sunday's 250km event.

Blitzing the qualifying, McLaughlin broke the mark for most pole positions in a row at Phillip Island.

"I'm living the dream and I can't wipe the smile off my face," McLaughlin said.

The 24-year-old has an opportunity to extend his lead in the championship on Sunday afternoon following his Red Bull Holden rival Jamie Whincup's costly mistake on Saturday.
