Todd Kelly Wins Race 1

Todd Kelly continued Holden Racing Team's hot streak, leading home teammate Mark Skaife for a 1-2 in race one at Hidden Valley

The twenty minute sprint saw Kelly take the lead on lap one and never relinquish it, to narrowly lead home teammate Skaife with the Ford duo of Craig Lowndes and Marcos Ambrose right behind them.

Ambrose moved up from fourth to third on lap one before Lowndes took third back on lap nine and held the place to the flag.

Russell Ingall recovered from his 34th place on the grid to rally up to fourteenth place in seventeen laps, one place behind Greg Murphy.

The biggest loser in race one was Steven Richards, who was running in fifth on lap 12 before slipping down the order to finish the race in 22nd place.

Two 48 lap races will complete the round on Sunday.
