Brown led an all-Triple Eight front row, beating his teammate Broc Feeney by 0.0993s.<\/p>\n

Kai Allen came into the Shootout on provisional pole but could only qualify third for Grove Racing.<\/p>\n

He faces an investigation that could demote him further down the grid amid allegations of impeding during the preceding qualifying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hype in this garage and around this whole event at Queensland Raceway has been mega,\u201d said Brown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a bit storyline over the last couple of weeks \u2013 I was nervous to come here and run 12th and then you would have been asking a lot of questions .<\/p>\n

\u201cTo come here this weekend and deliver so far has been mega.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously this weekend we wanted to prove everyone wrong, come out here, have a race win and hopefully a pole.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, we\u2019ve done that. Let\u2019s hope we get a win today and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether the change from the 49mm to the 50mm restrictor or the new car had paid dividends, Brown said the former made the largest difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a large percentage of it is obviously the restrictor. We wouldn\u2019t be as competitive,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a great new car. The guys and girls at Red Bull Ampol Racing have done a mega job to give us a new car this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve tried lifting my game as well. I think you don\u2019t forget how to drive and I think I\u2019ve proven that this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brodie Kostecki qualified fourth for Dick Johnson Racing while Chaz Mostert was fifth for Walkinshaw TWG Racing as the sole Toyota in the shootout.<\/p>\n

The top 10 was completed by Matthew Payne, Cameron Waters, James Golding, Aaron Cameron and Rylan Gray.<\/p>\n

Race 3 of the Ipswich Super440 gets underway at 3:20pm AEST.<\/p>\n
