Rick Kelly - #15 Jack Daniel’s Racing Holden Commodore
“New team, new car and new people involved and I think that we should be pretty happy with today,” said Rick Kelly.
“It’s out first event here as Kelly Racing, with brand new cars and our first time on the track realistically and we’re in front of almost half the field so I’d say today is a good achievement.
“At the same time I’m a little frustrated because I know the car as it finished qualifying was capable of being in the top 10.
“We had a gearshift problem and a couple of other things stop us.
“To be honest we came a damn long way in about 45 minutes of track time in qualifying so if we keep improving at that rate we’re looking good for the races.”
“We just have to keep moving forward and we’ll be looking good.”
Todd Kelly - #7 Jack Daniel’s Racing Holden Commodore
“It’s very frustrating because I was driving around jammed in gear,” said Todd Kelly.
“Third, fourth, fifth and six gears were all jamming. I just tried to do what I could out there.
“The changes we made for qualifying from practice made the Jack Daniel’s Commodore better but we didn’t get to show it. It’s a long race tomorrow so we’re not done with by any means.”
Jack Perkins - #11 Dodo Racing Holden Commodore
“This is a long race and it’s been won from the back before so its not a big drama where you qualify,” said Perkins.
“It would be nice to qualify in the top 20 and that was my goal for the weekend from a qualifying perspective.
