In addition Stone Brothers Racing also was victorious in the newly formed teams' championship, whilst Craig Lowndes finished second in the drivers' championship in his SBR-powered Betta Electrical Falcon, thus the top three cars in the series operated with engines from the Yatala based squad. "I have to thank Ford, Pirtek, my crew and Ross and Jimmy Stone and their families for all their support and giving me the opportunity for such success over the last five years." I had a terrific car this weekend and I guess to win the round was a great reward for all boys and a fitting way to go out.
"There was a tear in my eye there at the end, but at the same time I am excited about what lies ahead. I have many great friends in the Pirtek organisation and I will certainly miss those guys next year. "I have built up some tremendous friendships in this series up and down pit lane then you have everyone at Ford and Pirtek. "My time in V8 Supercars has been pretty special and to go out with a win like we did today and to give Ford the manufacturers' title is extra special," said Ambrose.

Ingall's teammate, outgoing dual champion and NASCAR-bound driver Marcos Ambrose, concluded his foreseeable V8 Supercar career by winning Sunday's two races in dominant fashion - setting the fastest lap in the final race, and also delivered Ford the manufacturers' championship by delivering the deciding win to the Blue Oval. "It helped that the car was on the pace and we had a very quick car this weekend and that obviously makes the job a lot easier. To be quite honest I didn't find the weekend terribly hard mentally.

I have done a lot of racing overseas, a lot of racing in England, and I can tell you that I've raced against some pretty hard drivers over there. "I think a lot (of people) were expecting me to crack under pressure, I don't think they realise I've been in a lot of sticky situations.
I look at Marcos (Ambrose) and he's worn out and I can tell you that I'm bloody worn out. I look at the crew and they're all worn out. "I've been runner up four times in this championship since I've been in it, it's just great to finally grab it. "It's not bad, I can't complain about it - it's been a long time coming," said Ingall to Radio. The quadruple series runner-up (1998, 1999, 2001, 2004) secured his inaugural V8 title with Stone Brothers Racing - effectively keeping the number one plate at SBR for 2006. The 20 champions delivered Ford Australia the drivers', teams', and manufactures' titles with a fantastic final day of racing at the BigPond Grand Finale.Ĭaltex Racing driver Russell Ingall, became the newly-crowned V8 Supercar champion when he played a quick and consistent strategy to finish the weekend in fifth. Stone Brothers Racing have once again imprinted their dominance on the V8 Supercar Championship Series, which concluded at Victoria's Phillip Island Raceway.
