Bathurst 1000 title No.5 might loom for Holdens Jamie Whincup after again dominating to claim provisional pole at Mount Panorama for Sundays Great Race.But six-time winner Craig Lowndes Bathurst title defence already appears in tatters.Veteran Lowndes finished 21st on Friday in the 27-strong Supercars field - his worst qualifying finish at Mount Panorama.Lowndes, 42, contested his first Great Race in 1994.Thats news to me.
