Brad Jones Racing is a family

Brad Jones Racing is proudly the only Supercars Championship team based in regional Australia. Our workshop and production facility is located in Albury, on the New South Wales and Victorian border along the beautiful Murray River.

At the heart of the team is family; Brad Jones and brother Kim Jones entered Supercars in 2000 after tasting success across a breadth of racing categories.

A pioneering stint in Formula Ford in the 1980s was the beginnings of the later Supercars team, before Brad and Kim turned their attention to Production Touring and GT racing.

The brothers then shifted to the newly established AUSCAR stock car racing series in the 1990s. They stamped their dominance with Brad driving the team to five consecutive titles (90-94). When making the jump to the Australian NASCAR series in 94/95, BJR and Brad were victorious, claiming the championship for that season.

1995 also saw BJR become the factory Audi team in Australian Super Touring, with Brad and Greg Murphy at the wheel. Over the course of the next few years, Brad and BJR were fighting for and winning championships in the category. Coming home with the drivers’, teams’ and manufacturers’ titles in 1996 and 1998.

The team debuted in Supercars in 2000 as a single car outfit, with an ex-Longhurst Racing Ford AU Falcon. In just our second year in the Championship, Brad and British co-driver John Cleland fought to a podium (second) at the Bathurst 1000.

The following year (2002), we expanded to a two-car operation, recruiting John Bowe to steer our second AU Falcon. In 2004, Brad and John made their way to the podium (third) again in the Bathurst 1000.

Bowe was the first to stand on the top step of the podium for BJR, however it was in the non-championship event at the 2005 Australian Grand Prix meaning the win didn’t formally go into the record books.

2008 heralded a massive change for our team, making the switch from the blue oval to the mighty lion. The team was then fielding two ex-Holden Racing Team VE Commodores.

Drivers Cameron McConville and Jason Richards equalled BJR’s best Bathurst 1000 result in 2009, finishing second in The Great Race.

In 2011 when we scored our first official win with driver Jason Bright in Perth, Bright then went on to victory at our ‘home track’, Winton Motor Raceway.

As the category introduced the Car of the Future (COTF) in 2013, the team went from strength to strength with our VF Commodores. In the initial year of COTF we finished third in the teams’ championship and recorded wins in each following seasons to 2017.

In 2020, the team doubled in size, preparing and competing in the Championship with four ZB Commodores.

As Gen3 emerged in 2023, the squad capitalised on the change of the scenery in Supercars.

The team were quick out of the gates, topping the first official test of the new era and looking to be key contenders for the season.

Andre Heimgartner, after settling in with the crew in 2022, delivered on his promise and scored six podiums throughout the first year of Gen3.

Combined with Bryce Fullwood’s gallant efforts, making a number of top ten appearances, the crew finished third in the Team’s Championship.

The result was equal best to 2013 and a proud moment for the Albury squad.

With Heimgartner, Fullwood, Macauley Jones and rookie Jaxon Evans at the wheel in 2024, there’s still more to come from BJR.
