Rick Kelly has been docked fifty points from his V8 Supercar Series championship tally after series officials met to discuss the incident between the y💧ounger Kelly driver in the series and Holden front-runner, Jason Bright at Surfers Paradise.

Kelly entered the Surfers Paradꦐise round of the Australian V8 💧Supercar Series on a high, with a second Bathurst victory notched up at the previous round and the talk was of how the young star deserved No.1 status at his KMart Racing team. The weekend was not a good showing from the young star however.

In the first race Kelly punted Russell Ingall around at the very ꦫfirst corner, gai♑ned a drive-trough penalty and incurred the wraith of reigning champion Marcos Ambrose.

Come r🗹ace two at Surfers, Kelly was once more having a contact-rich race but it was the unnecessary move on Jason Bright, pitching the Holden championship contender into the Indy wall, ꦇwhich the stewards have seen fit to penalise.

Kelly gains ꦡa $5000 (AUS) fine and loses fifty points to move him from fourth 🍨to fifth in the drivers standings.

Kelly set the 23rd fastest time in first practice at Symmons Plains, whilst Jason Brigh🦄t who had to revert to his old car, was 15th fastest.
