Jason Bargwanna 2007 report card: C+
Team BOC
Team's Championship: 17th (-5)
Car #12 – BF Falcon – Andrew Jones (NSW)
Championship position: 44th (-18)
Best round result: 18th
Best race result: 7th
Team BOC struggled in 2007 and was the worst placed Ford team. The loss of John Bowe as lead driver really hurt the team, and with the incoming Andrew Jones joining his uncle Brad at the start of the season, the team was in a difficult predicament.
With Brad Jones retiring, and a relatively young and inexperienced Andrew driving the #12 car, Team BOC was without a clear leader. This showed in their results – especially those of Andrew – who completed the full season with the team.
A best race result of seventh and overall result of eighteenth was not what the doctor ordered for ‘AJ', but with the team switching to Holden in 2008, he may benefit from the use of Walkinshaw Performance Commodores.

Car #14 – BF Falcon – Simon Wills (NZL)
Championship position: =45th (no 2006 result)
Best round result: 19th
Best race result: 10th
Simon Wills replaced Brad Jones at Team BOC, but driving one of the most under performing chassis in the field, he was unable to claim solid points finishes.
Regarded as one of the best drivers to often be left on the outer of the V8 fraternity, Wills managed to claim a best finish of nineteenth and finished tenth in a race.
Wills will be replaced by Cameron McConville at the team upon its switch to Holden, so his future as a full-time driver is again uncertain.
