James Courtney has confirmed that repairs to his damaged Jim Beam Racing FG Falcon will be completed later this week, and that he will race the car in the fifth round of the V8 Supercar Championship.
V8 Supercar owner-driver Jason Bright has taken the bold - if entirely understandable - decision to take his #25 Fujitsu Racing Ford to the crack Stone Brothers Racing operation in search of success in 2009.
Stone Brothers Racing achieved its third Bathurst podium in as many years as a battling performance from James Courtney and David Besnard gave the Jeld-Wen Ford third place in the Supercheap Auto 1000.
OzEmail Racing's John Bowe will challenge Mark Skaife for the championship at Perth's Barbagallo Raceway next weekend in what is tipped to be one of the hottest contests of the 2004 V8 Supercar season.
