    Scott McLaughlin has his priorities in order ahead of the Supercars' Sandown 500 this afternoon

    Scott McLaughlin has his priorities in order ahead of the Supercars' Sandown 500 this afternoon


    The kiwi driver just needs to finish the race to wrap up his second consecutive title, and he says that's the goal.



    The race gets underway at 3.25pm.

    McLaughlin will start from last place after officials penalised him for an engine breach at last month's Bathurst 1000.

    His DJR Team Penske has been fined 30-thousand dollars for the breach and McLaughlin has been stripped of his pole position at the race.
