Even a botched pit-stop and a drive-through penalty couldn't stop Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell flexing their V8 Supercar championship muscle for victory in the Sandown 500 on Sunday.

Whincup passed Red Bull Racing teammate Craig Lowndes with 10 laps remaining in the 500km event to build his championship lead and win the lead-up to next month's Bathurst 1000 running away.
Lowndes and co-driver Warren Luff finished second, with Ford duo Will Davison and Steve Owen third.
Whincup fought back from running as low as 25th in the 28-car field after a drive-through penalty.

A botched driver change led to Dumbrell illegally spinning the wheels while the car was up on jacks in the pits, earning the ire of officials.
Dumbrell had been mistakenly told he was staying in the car on the radio as he approached, before being hastily ordered out of it once stopped.
Amid the mayhem as Dumbrell tried to unbuckle himself from the car, the accelerator was hit in error and a drive-through penalty ordered.
Yet four-time V8 champion Whincup in recovery mode is usually a sight to behold, and the 30-year-old didn't disappoint with one of his finest rearguard actions.
He picked off car after car, and then stalked Lowndes for 20 laps before catching up and powering past.
The Red Bull pit-stop problem was one of several uncharacteristic errors by drivers and pit crews on the day.

Most spectacular was a huge crash involving Ford driver Ash Walsh, who ploughed his car head-on into the fence at more than 200km/h as he locked up a rear tyre on lap 34.
His Dick Johnson Racing Falcon was badly damaged, but Walsh walked away unhurt.
Worst of the pit stop bungles affected polesitter Davison and Owen, whose team's pit strategy failed them.
Despite sitting third at the time, Ford Performance Racing had them double-stacked in pit lane behind teammates Steve Richards and Mark Winterbottom in a mass pit-stop following the safety car for Walsh's crash.
The delay sent Davison and Owen sliding from third to 22nd and playing catch-up for the rest of the day before making the podium.
V8 newcomers Mercedes also managed their best finish since joining the series at the start of the season, with Lee Holdsworth and Craig Baird fourth for Erebus Motorsport.
Whincup now leads Lowndes by 96 points in the overall V8 championship, with Davison slipping to third a point behind Lowndes.
