GRM Holden driver Lee Holdsworth set the pace in qualifying for the Gold Coast 600 at Surfers Paradise.
He booked his place in the top 10 pole position shoot-out with a great lap of 1m11.9101s, just 0.0062s faster than the Commodore of Garth Tander. Free practice pacesetter Mark Winterbottom was third, and the quickest Ford.
Steven Richards did a good job to set fourth in the second GRM car. Points leader James Courtney was sixth for Dick Johnson, 888 team-mates Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes eighth and ninth.
Rick Kelly was the unfortunate 11th fastest driver, missing the cut by 0.05s. Nathan Pretty, who's partnered by Scott Pruett this weekend, blotted his copybook again, shunting his Commodore heavily for the second time in as many days on his first flying lap.
