Supercars: More history for dominant Scott McLaughlin in Darwin

It keeps getting better for Scott McLaughlin, who claimed victory in Darwin for the second time in as many days on Sunday.

With the Saturday win, and Sunday pole-win double, McLaughlin became the first driver to claim the elusive Darwin Triple Crown.

Sunday's race marked win No. 12 for the year for McLaughlin from just 16 races.

The wins record for a season - 16, set by Craig Lowndes in 1996 - is now odds-on to be eclipsed.

McLaughlin led home David Reynolds at Hidden Valley by nearly 14 seconds, with Fabian Coulthard a further second behind.

The Triple Crown, introduced in 2006, went unclaimed before reigning series champ McLaughlin added another string to his bow.

The 26-year-old now leads Coulthard by a whopping 319 points in the championship. With 14 races remaining, McLaughlin could wrap it up during the enduros, an effort not seen since the days of Skaife.

McLaughlin led from pole as Reynolds worked his way in front of Coulthard after the first turn.

By the time the leaders pitted on lap 19 of the 70-lap, 200km marathon, McLaughlin was nearly eight seconds clear.

By race's end, the Shell V-Power Racing star was miles up the road and sealed the 37th win of his career.

Cameron Waters finished fourth ahead of Jamie Whincup, Chaz Mostert and Lee Holdsworth, with Anton De Pasquale, Will Davison and Shane van Gisbergen rounding out the top 10.

However, the weekend was all about McLaughlin, who paid tribute to his team and their all-conquering Ford Mustangs.

"It’s an awesome thing for all our guys and girls at Shell V-Power Racing, Ford Performance, to be the first to win the Triple Crown is really cool," he told the broadcast.

"I’ve got a great car, great team, the pitstops were unreal... I’m just lucky. I’m 26, just living the dream driving race cars and I’m lucky I drive a fast one."
