Full-season Pizza Hut backing for Jones

MACAULEY Jones will sport Pizza Hut colours for the duration of the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship.

The regular look for the #96 Camaro comes as part of a new three-year deal between Pizza Hut and Brad Jones Racing.

BJR had in recent seasons adopted a rolling sponsorship model for the 28-year-old, who is entering his fifth full-time campaign in the main game.

“It’s pretty awesome being able to have Pizza Hut on the Camaro for the year,” said Jones.

“It’s an exciting time in Supercars – with Gen3, with the Camaros and the whole build process. It’s going to be a very big year and it’s cool to have Pizza Hut beside us for it.

“The livery looks impressive on the Camaro, just makes it look mean and ready to deliver.

“I can’t wait to get behind the wheel at the first test and really get a taste of my own Camaro – learn the intricacies and try and really settle into the Gen3 car.”

BJR is yet to shakedown any of its four-pronged fleet, with its first track outing of 2023 due to take place early next week.

Pizza Hut Australia CEO Phil Reed explained his company’s desire to align themselves with BJR.

“We want to support real fans and there is no one more authentic than Brad Jones,” he said.

“He has been a champion as both a driver and a team owner and has experienced the highs and the lows of the sport.

“Both Pizza Hut and Brad Jones love to win. We want to be champions.

“Together, we will both get back to number one.”

Familiar liveries are expected for the remainder of the BJR squad, with Andre Heimgartner and Bryce Fullwood to continue with R&J Batteries and Middy’s Electrical respectively, and Jack Smith presumably with SCT Logistics.
