Ex Holden Young Lion youngster Tony D’Alberto will team up with Independent Race Cars this year, replacing Mark Porter in the number 64 Holden Commodore that secured third position in the 2003 championship.

Team Kiwi Racing has thrown their support behind Porter for the 2004 season, fielding a
car in addition to their V8 Supercar Championship Series campaign, utilising the same Holden Commodore that was driven by TKR driver Craig Baird in the 2003 Championship.

Amongst the newcomers will be Konica Minolta V8 Supercar Series regulars Super Cheap Auto Racing’s Luke Youlden, Matthew White Racing’s Matthew White and Brad Jones Racing’s Andrew Jones.

Youlden will be coming off his successful podium positions at the two endurance events last year, the Betta Electrical Sandown 500 and Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 and will be looking to use that experience to improve on his fifth placing in the 2003 Konica V8 Supercar Series.
