Jack Daniel's Racing team-mates Todd and Rick Kelly have both recovered from spins to post top 20 finishes in the second race of the Sucrogen Townsville 400 in far north Queensland today. Rick Kelly finished 13th in today's race after being spun by Tony D'Alberto on the second lap at Turn 1.
Kelly was lucky to survive the crash with only minor damage after Russell Ingall collected D'Alberto, damaging both cars but with the #15 Jack Daniel's Commodore continuing on from the back of the pack.
Later in the race Todd Kelly suffered the same fate at the same corner, hit from behind by Michael Caruso on lap 54 while running in 11th place.
The spin did significant damage to the rear of Kelly's #7 Jack Daniel's Commodore but Kelly was able to bring his car home to the finish in 20th place to collect enough points to rise another spot into 17th in the points standings.
