Todd Kelly wins race 1
Todd Kelly led home teammate Mark Skaife for a Holden Racing Team 1-2 in the first of the weekend's non-championship races at Albert Park
Kelly led from start to finish to continue his strong start to 2006, while Skaife rebounded from a pair of crashes at last weekend's Clipsal 500.
While Todd Kelly had a good day, younger brother Rick didn't, out of the race in a turn one incident. Stone Brothers Racing recruit James Courtney didn't last much longer, sent spinning on the run down to turn three on lap one.
Even round one winner Jamie Whincup didn't get it all right, going off track on the second-last lap while in the top five to finish 21st.
