Brad Jones, the veteran team owner, is feeling driven to win and is energized by the challenge of having another tilt at a Supercar title. His team, Brad Jones Racing, has been working hard since the cars last turned a wheel back in early December, looking for that advantage that will take them to the top. With less than one second separating the whole field of 24 cars in qualifying and 100ths of a second between four or five places, the margins are ridiculously small, so any small find brings huge gains on track for his four drivers. The team is heading into the year with an unchanged driver line-up of Andre Heimgartner, Bryce Fullwood, Macca Jones, and Jaxon Evans and is the only Supercar team to field four cars.
