HOLDING ON IN A HOLDEN

Garth Tander and Mark Skaife have broken Holden's enduro drought with a win in a thrilling Phillip Island 500. Tander took the lead on lap 103 of the 113-lap race after a rare mistake by Ford driver Jamie Whincup who had led for much of the race. Whincup had led from pole position but a heavy shower midway through the race caused chaos as teams and drivers struggled with their choice of tyre.
