BRAD Jones is keenly awaiting the chance to see how Jack Smith responds to two types of resets in 2023.
One is the obvious switch to Gen3 machinery and the various unknowns attached to that.
The other is a new-look crew for the #4 entry, including the installation of Julian Stannard as race engineer following Paul Forgie’s off-season move to Matt Stone Racing.
“There’s been a number of changes in the #4 garage over the break and I’m looking forward to seeing how the team gels together at Newcastle,” team owner Jones said.
“Gen3 promises to be a complete reset with the new car and I’m going to enjoy seeing what Jack and the team can do.”
Brad Jones Racing this morning released the second of its Camaro liveries with the SCT Logistics-backed Chevrolet featuring stripes.

“The SCT Camaro sitting on the SCT freight train is an awesome sight and I’m excited to sign off on that delivery,” said Smith.
“I can’t wait to get it to Newcastle. Being on the grid for the first time in a Gen3 car that looks this good will be pretty special.
“It’s a pretty cool feeling seeing the car in the SCT livery, I’ve been in the workshop and seen the team bring it to life and it’s been quite a journey.
“Gen3 is quite a big change and I’m keen to see what the racing dynamic will be once we get to Newcastle.
“It’s been almost a year since I tested one of these cars so it will be good to get to Winton and get some laps in.”
BJR will complete its inaugural Gen3 shakedowns in the coming days.
