Supercars jokers fire up in Townsville

They're renowned as two of the jokers of the Supercars pack but there's not much laughing going on between Scott McLaughlin and David Reynolds.

McLaughlin was fuming after an opening-lap collision with Reynolds in Sunday's rain-lashed 200km race on the streets of Townsville.

The DJR Team Penske ace, chasing a seventh-straight win, was forced to pit with a puncture after the collision.

He worked his way back to finish 11th but was unsatisfied after confronting Reynolds, post-race.

"In those kinds of conditions, everyone was just managing risk in those tricky conditions, and Reynolds was the opposite, being a desperado," McLaughlin said.
