McLaughlin's 14th Supercars win in 2019

Supercars star Scott McLaughlin has atoned for his miss in race one, clinching his 14th win of 2019 in one of the season's closest finishes at the Ipswich SuperSprint.

McLaughlin dropped from pole to fourth on Saturday but made no mistake from the top of the grid in Sunday's race two and led from start to finish, setting a lap record at Queensland Raceway.

But the Kiwi sensation was made to work for it as Triple Eight Racing and Holden star Shane van Gisbergen almost pipped him on the final lap.

McLaughlin extended his lead at the top of the drivers' standing ahead of DJR Team Penske teammate Fabian Coulthard, who made a mistake on lap nine and dropped to 18th.
