Briscoe and Power both crash out of Season opener

Kiwi Scott Dixon posted a season opening win and the first under the unified series. However the two Aussie's in field failed to make the chequered flag.

Will Power was the first to exit when he touched with Justin Wilson at the end of the first yellow. Whilst both cars were forced to the pits, Wilson was able to continue while Power was forced to exit.

Briscoe made it past the half way point and was running a strong race when he was left with no where to go when Milka Duno's spun in front of him.
