The #15 Jack Daniel's Commodore was then collected at high speed by Steven Johnson, followed by a third impact from the spinning car of Warren Luff, meaning it will be a busy week of repair work ahead for the Kelly Racing crew.
Despite the three impacts, Rick Kelly was uninjured. He finished the weekend sixth overall on points for the meeting despite today's crash.
Jamie Whincup won today's final race of the Albert Park 400 ahead of Kelly Racing's Greg Murphy aboard his #11 Pepsi Max Commodore, with Garth Tander winning out in a tough battle for third ahead of Shane van Gisbergen and Todd Kelly.
The third event of the 2011 V8 Supercars Championship is the ITM 400 in Hamilton, New Zealand on April 15-17.
JACK DANIEL'S RACING QUOTEBOARD:
RICK KELLY - #15 Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore
"From my point of view I'm extremely disappointed," said Rick Kelly.
"The Jack Daniel's Commodore has been ace the last two weekends and the team deserves to be on the podium.
"An aggressive move by (Craig) Lowndes has ended with me in the fence and then obviously drivers ignoring yellow flags means that someone has collected us.
"At the end of the day everyone has got their point of view. I'm pissed off about getting run into the wall and I'm looking forward to the Steward's hearing. They will look at all the evidence and make a decision and we will be part of that process.
"Both Murph and Todd deserved to be up the front and they showed that with their pace, but we needed to be up there with them."
TODD KELLY - #7 Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore
"The changes we made overnight didn't really improve the Jack Daniel's Commodore much overnight and it absolutely smoked its rear tyres," said Todd Kelly.
"It was a hell of a race at the end there. The tyres fell off the back of my car and I did everything I could to keep those blokes behind me.
"It was on for young and old so where we ended up was the best job we could do.
"But overall for all four cars it has been a really good weekend for Kelly Racing as a whole.
"Murph was great today in the Pepsi Max car, the way that thing hooked up in that last race was really impressive so we've got some good data from him to look through to keep pressing on.
"We have carried the pace of the cars that we had from Clipsal over to here so it's good for the entire team.
"It wasn't good seeing Rick's car - that looks quite bad. The boys are going to have a fair bit of work to repair that. Between that and the Stratco car the fabricators are going to have a heavy-duty couple of weeks.
"It's good to have good drivers in all our cars. If one has a bad day there is generally one, or two, or three others running really strong.
"It's certainly shaping up to be a good year for all four of our cars."
