JACK DANIEL'S RACING QUOTEBOARD:
RICK KELLY - #15 Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore
"I'll be wringing that thing's neck around there, there is no doubt about it," said Rick Kelly.
"Nothing is going to help our team more than the $500,000 that they have got up on offer so we will be going like cut snakes to get it."
On competing in the Red Bull Race Off at the Australian Grand Prix ...
"I'm more nervous about the Red Bull Race Off than I am about racing the Jack Daniel's Commodore in the main event," said Rick Kelly.
"I've never really driven a front wheel drive car on the track before and I'm up against David Coulthard!
"It's such a pleasure and such a big buzz to be driving alongside someone of that stature.
"Obviously the little Aussie, Daniel Ricciardo, is going to be really tough to beat as well.
"I know Robbie Maddison as well - I've got a time lapse shot of his jump in Las Vegas on the wall of my office at Kelly Racing - and we've caught up when he has raced a MINI at our V8 events over the past few years.
"It's going to be a great race and I'm really looking forward to it."
TODD KELLY - #7 Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore
"The boys have kicked my Jack Daniel's Commodore back into shape in the space of about half a day when we got back from Adelaide," said Todd Kelly.
"I love Albert Park. I've had some pretty good results there over the past and a lot of the stuff that is in all of our cars now is actually quite close to the direction we went in last year at Albert Park.
"Last year I qualified in fourth and then had a brake nipple come loose, but our pace was really good there last year and we've done a heap more to the cars in that same direction since then.
"So I'm quietly confident that we should have a good weekend there."
