He joins fellow Mackay drivers Justin and Nathan Garioch in the field. The latter will drive for Sydney Star Racing in an ex-Garry Rogers Motorsport Commodore while the former will again drive for Fernandez Motorsport.

Making their Kumho Series debuts are Maurice Pickering (ex-Steve Ellery Racing Falcon) Shane Hunt (ex-Brad Jones Falcon AU) and Ian Yeing (ex-Kmart/Greg Murphy Commodore).

Teams can take part in private practice on Friday with first official practice on Saturday at 9.55am.
