    Supercars great Greg Murphy believes youngsters Ryan Wood and Matt Payne can emulate New Zealand's best as they line up for this afternoon's Bathurst 1000


    21-year-old Wood's taken a spot in the second row in Q4 while 23-year-old Payne starts in Q18 for the race to begin at 1:45.

    Murphy believes the pair can emulate the success of Scott McLaughlin and Shane van Gisbergen - who have three Supercars championships each.
