Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup took their third Supercheap Autos Bathurst 1000 in as many years to put the latter back on top of the V8 Supercar standings.

Joining the Toll HRT cars in failing to achieve perhaps as much as they should have were the HSV Dealer Team-run Autobarn Holden of Paul Dumbrell and Rick Kelly - which succumbed to an early throttle problem thought to be simialr to that which pitched Kelly's original co-driver Radisich into the wall on Saturday - the second Stone Brothers Ford and the Team BOC Holden, both of which were out before the 100-lap mark.

BTCC visitors Fabrizio Giovanardi and Matt Neal also struggled, the Italian finishing 15th in the second Triple Eight/Vodafone Ford with Britain's Marc Hynes, while Neal and US all-rounder Boris Said dropped out 21 laps from home in the second Supercheap Autos entry. The team's lead car only managed 18th place after a troubled run in the hands of veterans Russell Ingall and Paul Morris.
