RICK KELLY RACES TO FIFTH PLACE IN GRAND PRIX OPENER

JACK DANIEL'S RACING QUOTEBOARD:

RICK KELLY - #15 Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore

"It was a really enjoyable race and an improvement on our qualifying position," said Rick Kelly.

"We got a couple of positions off the line at the start and we had really good pace on the hard tyres.

"When we came out of the pits on soft tyres I got held up and we were not able to pass. I was blocked on every corner by Davo (Alex Davison), I don't know how he didn't get a black flag.

"But that's the way it is. It's the GP so I'm not going to be too rude and slam into his door trying to pass when he is blocking like that.

"I'm a little disappointed to not finish fourth but it's a great result for the team to finish fifth."

TODD KELLY - #7 Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore

"It's been one of those weekend so far for me," said Todd Kelly.

"I got a good first lap in and passed about 10 cars

"A lot of the guys in front bunched up and I happened to be in the right spot at the right time and made up a lot of spots.

"On the second lap there was a car that was spraying oil everywhere and I copped it.

"From half way around on the second lap I couldn't see through the windscreen, so I tried to get out of the way but got sent into the fence and it bent the steering.

"I had to pit to get the oil off the windscreen. Our race started well but ended badly."
