Twenty three starters will greet the starters flag for Round 5 of the Fujitsu V8 Supercars Series at Bathurst next week.
Series leader Steve Owen is one of seven drivers set to complete ‘double duties,’ racing in both the Fujitsu Series and the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. The other six drivers are David Russell (Dick Johnson Racing), Geoff Emery (Greg Murphy Racing), Paul Morris (Supercheap Auto Racing), Marcus Zukanovic (Greg Murphy Racing), Taz Douglas (Kelly Racing) and James Moffat (Ford Performance Racing).
There will be two Fujitsu Series races held over the weekend, one on Friday and Saturday. The Saturday race will be shown live on Network Seven – the only live Fujitsu Series race for the year.
New entries in next weekend’s field include Ben Eggleston, who will drive the JAX Quickfit Tyres entry, formally driven by Walkinshaw racing endurance drivers Cameron McConville and Craig Baird. It will be Eggleston’s first race since Homebush last year.
Rod Salmon slips into the Jay Motorsports Commodore VZ, the seat vacated by Nick Percat, who moves across to the Bundaberg Red Racing Commodore VE, last raced by David Reynolds at Townsville.
Other new contenders are Ben Barker (Matthew White Motorsport) and Chaz Mostert (East Coast Traffic Control).
