Supercars legend Jamie Whincup claims he has done nothing wrong after being evicted from Queensland for crossing the border without quarantining.
The seven-time Supercars champion, and several Triple Eight crew members, were booted out of their home state after returning from the Bathurst 1000 last week.
Whincup drove a Red Bull Holden trailer back into Queensland and says he was initially given the all-clear to do so.
“Three hours later, (they said) ‘oh no, guys, that’s not how we meant it’ (and) basically get out of Queensland,” he told the Courier Mail.
“I didn’t have any contact (with police) at all, I just got sent an email saying, hey, you have got to go to NSW and quarantine.
“It was a bit of … the election is coming up, we don’t need any drama, so get out of Queensland.”
Police are investigating the incident.
“Task Force Sierra Linnet detectives are currently investigating the alleged return of a number of Queensland residents that had attended the Bathurst 1000,” a Queensland Police spokesperson told AAP.
“These matters are subject to ongoing investigation and no further comment can be made until the completion of these investigations.”
