Todd Kelly

Todd Kelly, born on October 9, 1979, is a retired Australian professional racing driver who had a significant career in the Supercars Championship. Known for his "take-no-prisoners" attitude on the track and amicable personality off it, Kelly established himself as a formidable competitor in the series.

Kelly's journey began in karting, where he became an Australian champion by age 12. He transitioned to open-wheel racing in the mid-1990s before making his debut in the V8 Supercars in 1999 as part of the Holden Young Lions program. His career highlights include winning the Bathurst 1000 in 2005 with Mark Skaife, a victory he achieved on his 26th birthday, and the V8 Supercars China Round. He secured a career-best fourth-place finish in the championship standings in 2005. He drove for various prominent teams, including the Holden Racing Team and Perkins Engineering.

In 2009, Kelly embarked on a new chapter by co-founding Kelly Racing with his brother Rick. This venture allowed him to take on responsibilities in developing and engineering the team's race cars. Although he retired from full-time driving in 2017, his contributions to Supercars, both as a driver and a team owner, have left a lasting mark on the sport.
