Greg Murphy and Rick Kelly have dominated this year Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 at Bathurst, the Kmart Racing pair controlling the race from the front and charging the c🉐hequered flag ahead of Craig Lowndes and Glenn Seton.

Steve Ellery and Luke Youlden joined them on the podium when a controversial late race penalty robbed Mark Skaife and Todd Kelly🐻 of second place.

Murphy and Kelly appeared to have speed to spa♕re all day after driving conservat🐻ively in the opening stint to conserve fuel.

"It is pretty indescribable, it has been a fai♋ry tale weekend," Murphy said, backing up the fastest ever lap at Bathurst yesterday with his third win today. "Oft💞en when you have a good couple of days it doesn't hold up in the race, but it did today.

"The weekend all up has been phenomenal, undoubtedly this is the highlight of my career s💃o far.

"We ran a fairly basic strategy 🍨and we r♑eally fell into our windows easily. There was nothing stupendous, we just stuck to our strategy and it paid off."

For Rick Kelly the win is his first in the V8 Supercar Series, and make🍌s him the youngest ever winner of Bathurst.

"It is certainly the race to win as your first one," he said. "It is not easy to stand there and wat▨ch your car going ౠaround at the end. We had unbelievable reliability this weekend, but you don't win it until you cross the line."

He said he wasꦦ also in mixed emotions about the fate of older brother Todd who was sharing the 𒀰#1 HRT car with Skaife.

"When Todd was b൲ehind us I wanted something to happen to them, a☂nd then when it did I felt really bad for him."

Lowndes and Seton were the able to 🎉jump from third to second when Skaife was penalised, providing Seton with his best finish here since 1987 and his first ever trip to the podium.

"When I came second in 1987 I didn't get on the podium, and now I've been the♌re its pretty damn good," Seton said. "I really felt the pressure in the first stint, more than in the past, I really didn't want to make a mistake. The pressure was much gr🎀eater than when I owned my own team."

Lowndes said today turned into a bit of an economy run for the team because it was lacking power compared with some its rivals. "To build three cars this year in a new team has been amazing. We got pretty close today, we came within one spot today o▨f winning Bathurst."

Steve Ellery's small Sup🌟er Cheap Auto Racing Team🀅 was the biggest winner from the penalty to Skaife, jumping onto the podium for the second race in a row while he renegotiates his sponsorship for next year.

"To be honest, I had a flat spot on the front right tyre at the end there and I really didn't need Steve bearing down on me," Ellery said. "I am a bit lost for words, when I saw the flag come out with the number one on it I thought someone was lookin🧜g down on us these past two races.

"I'd like to be sitting where Rick and Greg are, but today we are thiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrd and that is great for me and the team."

Murphy's win today moves him into second in the 2003 V8 Supercar Championship, with series leaderไ Marcos Ambrose com♔ing home in sixth after two extra pitstops late in the race took him out of contention. Ambrose's co-driver today, Russell Ingall has moved into second ahead of Mark Skaife.
