The 2001 GMC 400 was the fifth round of the 2001 Shell Championship Series and the second running of the GMC 400 event.

It was held on the weekend of 9 to 10 June on the Canberra Street Circuit in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.

The Dick Johnson Racing outfit were very fast right from qualifying with them achieving a one-two, with Radisich achieving a time over half a second faster than his closest competitor, Steven Johnson.

However, it would be Johnson that would achieve pole position after Radisich spun during his shootout lapping, dropping him to fifteenth.
