Fujistu V8 Supercar Driver Adam Cooper remains in a critical condition this afternoon in hospital following a huge crash in the second of the development series races, in support for the Clipsal 500 In the actual Clipsal 500 itself Jamie Whincup dominated to take victory in both races. In the first race Ford locked out the first three positions and 7 of the top 10. Mark Winterbottom came home in 2nd with Whincup's triple 8 Team Vodafone teammate Craig Lowndes finished 3rd. Holdens challenge was not helped with HSV teammates Rick Kelly and Paul Dumbrell took each other off mid race, Kelly would recover to 8th but Dumbrell would not score points In the 2nd race it was less straight forward for Whincup as Holden stepped up their act. In the end though Whincup would battle past all of them to take victory over Lee Holdsworth, a delighted Cameron McConville and Todd Kelly A multiple car accident on lap 55 took out three major Ford contentders but Whincup defied the Holdens to give his team the perfect start to 2008 RACE 1 1.
