Mostert stayed at the front of the field to take his first race win of the year, ahead of teammate Mark Winterbottom. Caruso held on to finish on the podium. Race 11 saw Winterbottom take the lead early from Mostert at the first corner, while in the mid pack, it was not so great for the Holden Racing Team drivers. James Courtney drove in deep at turn 1 taking out his teammate Garth Tander, with Lee Holdsworth and James Moffat also forced off the road. Andre Heimgartner was also unlucky after being spun around by Dale Wood on the old pit straight. Winterbottom and Mostert stayed out of trouble to finish first and third respectively.http://www.crash.net/v8/race-report/218869/1/winterbottom-takes-the-reins-from-mostert.html Winterbottom defeats Kelly for race two win Crash.net Crash Media Group 16 May 2015 10 April 2016 Rick Kelly finished in second place – his first podium finish since 2011.
