Whincup tapped the back of Winterbottom and in response, Winterbottom slowed. This backed the field up and Winterbottom, Whincup and Van Gisbergen raced down the main straight three abreast. Towards the end of the straight, Garry Rogers Motorsport driver Lee Holdsworth pulled out of the slipstream of the top three and made it four-wide into turn one. Winterbottom and Whincup made contact which sent Whincup and Van Gisbergen off onto the grass and Winterbottom then made contact with Holdsworth before spinning in the middle of turn one and being hit by Karl Reindler. Kelly Racing's Rick Kelly emerged in the lead followed by Holdsworth, Steven Johnson and Craig Lowndes. Kelly went on to win the race, his second of the season, from Johnson and Lowndes, with Holdsworth slipping back to fourth with damaged steering.http://www.v8supercars.com.au/newsarticle/rick-kelly-snatches-sensational-darwin-win/tabid/70/newsid/11372/default.aspx Rick Kelly Snatches Sensational Darwin Win Official site of the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series 2011-06-18 2011-10-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20110822015942/http://www.v8supercars.com.au/newsarticle/rick-kelly-snatches-sensational-darwin-win/tabid/70/newsid/11372/default.aspx 2011-08-22 dead After being the top three for most of the race, Winterbottom, Whincup and Van Gisbergen finished fifteenth, ninth and seventh respectively, with each driver being penalised 25 championship points for their involvement in the incident.http://www.v8supercars.com.au/newsarticle/stewards-summary-races-12--13-hidden-valley-raceway/tabid/70/newsid/11367/default.aspx Stewards Summary Races 12 & 13, Hidden Valley Raceway Official site of the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series 2011-06-19 2011-10-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20111118223855/http://www.v8supercars.com.au/newsarticle/stewards-summary-races-12--13-hidden-valley-raceway/tabid/70/newsid/11367/default.aspx 2011-11-18 dead Drivers in the midfield also had their dramas.
