Tander takes victory in race two

Holden Racing Team's Garth Tander broke Mark Winterbottom's domination of the event so far with victory in race two of the Nikon SuperGP at Surfers Paradise

Tander took the lead into the first chicane after Winterbottom decided not to fight, and from there on, Tander showed the way, beating Winterbottom by just over two seconds.

A second behind them came Tander's team-mate Will Davison with Craig Lowndes on his bumper, as they had been since the pitstops, where Davison gained the place back he lost to Lowndes at the start.

Sprint Gas's Greg Murphy was next ahead of Steven Richards, with Shane van Gisbergen in seventh in a race that was almost the complete opposite of the first one, with no safety car and little drama or action taking place, most of the front-runners finishing in almost the same place as they had earlier in the day.

In fact, eighth-placed Jamie Whincup was the first driver in the order to make up more than one place relative to their first race result, jumping up from 13th to eighth. Rick Kelly did similarly, moving from twelfth to 9th, with Jason Bargwanna completing the top ten.
