11:06am: Hello folks - Just an update on yesterday ... Jamie Whincup copped a 15 second penalty for causing a first lap collision. As a result he dropped to fifth, promoting Cam Waters, David Reynolds and Scott McLaughlin up a spot.
Today's schedule is as follows:
11:20am - Supercars qualifying
1:40pm - Supercars Top Ten Shootout
4:10pm - Auckland SuperSprint - Race Two
Welcome to live coverage of the second day of race action from Pukekohe Park in Auckland.
Kiwi Shane Van Gisbergen scored a third straight Saturday Auckland SuperSprint win yesterday, and is highly motivated to claim the Jason Richards Trophy for the second time.
Championship leader Scott McLaughlin did a good job yesterday in limiting the damage yesterday and actually extended his championship lead to 586 points.
But Holden is clearly back on track after a number of aerodynamic changes so the contest will be as close as ever.
