I'm banking on Lowndes to win. He's proven he can win races unlike Rick Kelly.

Or 'Lnowdes' as his new colour scheme for the weekend shows!

What is reason for the spelling of LNOWDES?

It's a tie in with Vodafone's "Now" promotion.

That puts them almost level on points!

Well it's official Crash Banicoot aka Rick Kelly is the champion. However only after he spun Lowndes at the start of Race 3.

I for one am hoping that the appeal that Triple 8 put in about the way Kelly took Lowndes out gets the little arse DQ'd from Race 3's results.

Agreed all the way.
There was no way Rick could have passed Craig.
And How did they catch Todd so quick, he pulled well away.
Me thinks something fishy there.
Hold play dirty tricks all weekend.
Rick is No champion or does he deserve it. He had a good car but racked up consistent drives but nothing great, Garth in the sister car was way the better driver, same to be said about Todd and Lowndes. But Rick, He's crap and next year will prove that.
May Sanity pro-vale, Dirty Driving Like Rick and Schumi have no place in Motor Sport. Craig Could have taken Rick out several time but it's not in him, obvious Like is more of a BArstarD racer. BArstarD races get theirs in the end.

A disgraceful performance from Rick Kelly and the HSV team .

The blocking from Tander in race two was clearly deserving of a black flag , and then to follow it up in race three with the shameful incident knocking out his title rival to win the championship is not the way you want to do it .

Lets hope the appeal by Triple 8 will restore some credibility to the v8's and show Lowndes as the true CHAMPION of 2006 .

At least some justice was done by Rick, he took out his brother as well! After seeing the antics by HSV/HRT in the 3rd race, I just sort of tuned out for the rest of the race. I didn't see the podium crap either.

I could not believe what happened...I didn't really mind who took the championship until that point but now I know who I think deserves it. As soon as I saw the damage to Craig's car, I turned the TV off and forgot about it. I was expecting a good, fair, clean motor race. Well done to Mark Winterbottom, though.
