Brad Jones Racing has revealed the livery for Andre Heimgarner’s 2022 Commodore. 

The 2022 season will see Heimgarner behind the wheel of the #8 commodore. The Kiwi joins the team after racing with Kelly Grove Racing and its predecessor Nissan Motorsport since 2018. 

R&J Batteries who signed on to remain with the team last year will continue to back the #8 car. 

“To be joining forces with such a legendary team and sponsors is an amazing opportunity and challenge I am really looking forward to,” Heimgartner said.

“I can’t wait for the year ahead and much more success to come.

“Knowing BJR is going to be my home for the long-term is very exciting. The team has such a great vibe.

“They are one of the most established teams in the business, but the feeling is really one of a big family unit.

“I’ve felt so welcomed already and to have the whole team at R&J Batteries right behind me has been fantastic.”

Cub Cadet who has sponsored BJR for many years will feature on the bonnet of the Commodore. 

This will be Heimgartners first full season with Brad Jones Racing, though he has previously raced for the team as a co-driver, in 2017, replacing an injured Ash Walsh. 

BJR team owner Brad Jones was excited to welcome back Heimgartner, who co-drove for the team in 2017.

“Andre is a familiar face with the BJR team and I’m extremely excited to have him on board, full-time, for the 2022 season and beyond,” Jones said.

“It’s also brilliant to be extending our relationship with R&J Batteries.

“Their continued support has been exceptional and I’m very excited for what’s to come in 2022 and maintain this strong partnership together.”

Mongrel Boots, Timken, Dormakaba, Summit Fleet Leasing and Management, FUCHS and Adaptalift will also feature on the car.

R&J Batteries Managing Director Ray Robson said, “We’re thrilled to have André behind the wheel of the R&J Batteries #8 car and we’re looking forward to growing our relationship with both André and the entire BJR team in 2022.”

Chief Executive Officer of R&J Batteries Stuart Hamilton added, “Motorsport is in our DNA, so we are proud to be taking on naming rights with BJR once again and extend our agreement with Brad and the team into 2022.”

Heimgarner will be behind the wheel of the BJR Commodore at Winton on Tuesday to complete testing ahead of the season starting March 4-6 at Sydney Motorsport Park.
