I like the look of that top three, except Rick Kelly has to get up higher in the grid and pass Lowndes if he wants a chance at winning that championship. Can't wait to see the race, should a good finale cos the points gap is so close.

It doesnt look good for rick kelly....he couldn't get near lowndes in the first race and he starts behind clownes in race 2.......he needs a miracle...rain or a race incident (not involving him)or a 888 mechanical failure, pit stop bungle?to win the championship.

yeah it is a weird spelling of LOWNDES!
Watched the battle between Lowndes & Skaife with interest... Good to see skaife doing well under presure. also good to see Lowndes keeping his cool and not being over aggressive.
There seems to be a few FORD drivers who have a very aggressive driving approach which often lands them in trouble...
Russell Ingall
Craig Lowndes
Marcos Ambrose

Cant believe those ****in stewards have again ruined the round and virtually given the round to Lowndes.Tander out of equation Windcup looming ....unless Lowndes gets hit by lightning he is goin to win the whole show...comentators are beating it up but realistically rick has come close but those pricks in the stewards room have ruined the race 3......Lowndes deserves to win but it seems he has taken over from ambrose ...winge and you shall receive...if you are good enough pass him on the track.
PS...Hope Im wrong about Lowndes running away with championship (Ive ordered the lightning)

can anyone explain the Lowndes/Skaife paint swapping incident?
i'm probably inviting trouble on a Holden forum, but to me it seemed Lowndes had the outside line on that corner. Skaife seemed to have adequate opportunity to adjust his line/speed so he didn't have to use the whole track on the exit, yet he did anyway and punted Lowndes off.
although it's natural to use the whole track when you're taking a racing line, you know you can't do it when there's another driver next to you.
any other takers on that one?

Depends what your take on lowndes' comments from Indy, about the stewards trying to give rick the championship. Everyone knew what he ment, but yet he still gets away with it.
