Today, the Castrol EDGE Endurance Countdown looks at the #17 Jim Beam Racing Ford Falcon FG entry of Steve Johnson and Marcus Marshall.
When it comes to the L&H 500 at Phillip Island and the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, all the attention in the this team will be on the #18 car of championship leader James Courtney (and his partner Warren Luff).
Could that play in the hands of Steve Johnson and Marcus Marshall?
Johnson, currently 10th in the V8 championship, doesn’t have a title to worry about, which means he can go for broke.
For Marshall, he’s never been in a better position to get a big result.
