Todd Kelly's Clipsal 500 milestone

But as the youngest ever to do so he's looking ahead more than back.

"I feel like there is a fair bit left in me; another 150 would be nice," says the 31-year-old who races a black Jack Daniel's Holden Commodore in the family Kelly Racing outfit.

In his 149 events so far, Kelly has done 330 races for six poles, 19 wins and 26 podiums.

He still is the youngest winner ever of a V8 Supercar Championship race - in Canberra in 2000 when he was 20 years and 8 months old.

"Over the 150 starts I've been fortunate to have a go at a bit of everything," he said yesterday as he made final preparations for track action at the Clipsal 500 from Friday.

"The only reason we race is to be successful. So when I've had race wins, pole positions and things like that I obviously remember. But once those boxes are ticked and you get a pole or a win, a lot of drivers will hang their hat off that for six months; where for me that's fallen out the other end of my brain by the next morning and I turn to working on how to do it again. So I'm 99 per cent looking forwards, not really one that's looking backwards just yet."

Kelly is only the 16th driver to clock 150 events in the history of the 51-year Australian Touring Car Championship, more lately known as the V8 Supercar Championship.
