Rick Kelly
Rick Kelly (born 17 January 1983 in Mildura, Victoria, Australia) is a V8 Supercar racing driver, currently living in Melbourne, Victoria. He is the younger brother of former Bathurst 1000 winner, Todd Kelly. He previously drove for the HSV Dealer Team and has previously contributed to winning at the Bathurst 1000 alongside Greg Murphy in 2003 and 2004 under the banner of Kmart Racing. Kelly was the 2006 V8 Supercar Champion for the HSV Dealer Team. He moved to the new formed family team Kelly Racing for 2009 and onwards.
==2006 Supercar Championship==
In 2006, Kelly won the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series after being one of the most consistent performers throughout the season. The victory, however, was not without its share of controversy.
Despite not winning a single round overall (though he did win an individual race), or scoring a pole position in any individual race, Kelly entered the final round of the series at Phillip Island seven points ahead of his nearest competitor, Craig Lowndes, (who had won four rounds) due to consistent high points finishes in all twelve of the previous 2006 rounds.
Coming into the third and final race of the round, Lowndes had managed to pull back the deficit to be even on points with Kelly, meaning that the driver out of the two who finished first would clinch the championship. Two laps into the final race, Kelly collided with Lowndes, who then slid into Todd Kelly. Damage to Lowndes car resulted in him finishing 29th, whereas Rick Kelly finished 18th and was awarded the series title despite not having won a single round.〔McKay, Peter (11 December 2006) (Kelly emerges in dramatic finale )〕〔Stanford, James (11 December 2006); (Stewards reject Lowndes' appeal ); The Herald Sun〕
