EXCELLENCE isn’t always exciting, but you can’t fault Jamie Whincup for doing a better job than anyone else in Race 23.

He utterly dominated Sunday at the OTR SuperSprint, converting pole position into his 112th career victory ahead of teammate Shane van Gisbergen.

Combined with Scott McLaughlin finishing 10th, van Gisbergen now takes the championship lead by 19 points heading to the next event at the Sandown 500.
