Sheene Medal ("Best and Fairest"): Marcos Ambrose
AMBROSE: "...
I am honoured as a member of Pirtek Racing and the Stone Brothers Racing
team to be V8 Supercar champion for the second time ... This trophy
really is a symbol of all the hard work done by so many people over
the last couple of years ... The competition just gets tougher and tougher
and I guess that’s why this one probably means a little more to
me than the first one ... You just cannot afford to rest for the second
in this business and there is not one member of the team as SBR that
does not realise that ... SBR is one of the best motor sport organisations
in the world and I am proud to be a representative of the team on stage
tonight"
