The HSV Dealer Team took a 1-2 victory with Rick Kelly winning on overall points ahead of Garth Tander, who had set the pace throughout the weekend.

After years of dissatisfaction with the track facilities, and several attempts at finding alternative venues, it was confirmed that 2007 would be the last V8 Supercar event to be held at Pukekohe Park Raceway.

Originally, 2005 was mooted to be the final round, with the city of Auckland initially confirmed to host a street race in and around Victoria Park.

The round served as Cameron McConville's 100th start in the V8 Supercar Championship, and ran the number 100 on his car to mark this achievement.

The six in-car cameras in this round were Greg Murphy, Jason Bright, Rick Kelly, Craig Lowndes, Max Wilson and Paul Dumbrell.

Brad Jones also crashed into the tyre barriers at the hairpin after brake failure, which caused the session to be red flagged.

Once again, a number of drivers including Jamie Whincup, James Courtney and both Jim Beam Racing cars, ran wide at the hairpin, whilst trying to set quick laps which Craig Lowndes was quickest early on.

Meanwhile, Dean Canto ran wide at the first corner and into the gravel trap, causing the safety car to come out at the end of the first lap.

Tander lost the lead to Winterbottom after both had completed their compulsory pitstops, and barely withheld a challenge from Steven Richards after exiting the pits.

A slow pitstop from Mark Skaife proved costly and dropped last years round winner tumbling down the order.

Steven Richards struggled to arrest his career in the braking areas and eventually found himself losing positions to Rick Kelly and Jamie Whincup.

On lap 38, Tander finally scythed through at the hairpin to take the lead, much to the approval of the large Holden fan contingent in the crowd.

On lap 28, Jason Richards crashed at the hairpin owing to front-left suspension failure, which led to the first safety car period.

The slow nature of the recovery of Canto's car, which drew harsh criticism from fans and media, exacerbated the issues.

Rick Kelly maintained his lead until the end while Tander failed to pass Radisich that would've been required to take the round win.
