Bright Leads all the Way to win second NZ Race
9/5/2004 13:17 (Press Release) -
Holden’s Jason Bright turned the tables on V8 Supercar Series champion Marcos Ambrose in the second of three races at Pukekohe in New Zealand today.
Bright led from start to finish to win the second of three 36-lap races today, just as Ambrose had done in the first race this morning.
Ambrose was slow off pole in race two allowing Bright to lead from the first lap. The Holden driver was not overtaken.
Kiwi hero Greg Murphy challenged Bright in the final laps to finish second. It keeps Murphy in the mix to win the event in the combined points format from the three races.
Ambrose finished in third place meaning the third and final race will decide who wins the event overall. Rick Kelly was fourth and Steven Richards fifth.
The second race was littered with incidents as fine rain wet parts of the track. With cars strewn everywhere the safety car was called out after 12 laps.
Former champion Mark Skaife suffered suspension damage in the second race and did not finish. He had finished 16th in race one as his horror year continues.
