[3] Kelly Racing driver Greg Murphy was later penalized for a similar incident at the pit exit.

Murphy's teammate David Reynolds led the race early on in an impressive drive but collided with James Courtney on his way into pit lane.

The two Stone Brothers Racing drivers, Alex Davison and Shane van Gisbergen, finished fourth and fifth respectively.

The weekend saw Whincup extend his lead over Lowndes in the championship from 156 to 186 points, the two Triple Eight drivers beginning to pull away from third placed Van Gisbergen.
