Hi-Tec Oils Motorsport will field reigning TA2 Champion Josh Haynes alongside Trans Am rising star Blake Tracey and Trans Am and Speedway identity Jason Pryde for this week’s TA2 Tag Team Enduro at Queensland Raceway, taking place August 15 -17.

Josh Haynes dominated last year’s TA2 Series to claim the championship title before stepping up to the Trico Trans Am Series in 2025, though he was forced to miss the last round at Sandown due to budget constraints.

Haynes said he’s looking forward to teaming up with Stibbs as he’s got plenty of experience in the cars and he’s looking forward to getting back to the TA2 grid for the enduro. 

"It’s shaping up to be a really exciting event, with a stacked field, plenty of racing, and some big names but the key will be staying out of trouble and being there at the end of those long races to hopefully bring home some silverware.”

“I’m really looking forward to teaming up with Stibbs, he’s got plenty of experience. I’ve driven on the Hoosier tyre many times before, but the Goodyear tyre in TA2 will be something new but like all the drivers, we’ll need to adapt quickly, but I’m sure it’ll come together after a few laps.”

At just 18 years old, Blake Tracey is currently competing in the Trico Trans Am Series, and despite a challenging start to the season, Tracey had a break out event at Sandown running at the front of the field and will team up with Brad Gartner in the #22 Hi-Tec Oils Chevrolet Camaro for this weekend’s event.

Blake said he's looking forward to the different format for the weekend and driving against some of the biggest names in the sport.

"I'm really looking forward to the TA2 Tag Team Enduro this weekend and working closely with Brad and the team. He’s a top driver and it’s a tough field with so many big names on the grid, but it’s going to be exciting,” said Tracey

“Like Josh the Goodyear tyre will be a first for me. It might take a bit of time to adapt, but I’m excited to take on the challenge and learn as much as I can.”

Speedway legend Robbie Farr will be joined for his first TFH TA2 Tag Team Enduro by fellow Speedway start Jason Pryde in the Hi-Tec Oils Chevrolet Camaro for the Tag Team Enduro.

Pryde is no stranger to TA2 but like many of the Co Drivers will be experiencing the Goodyear tyre for the first time. 

“I’m in the same boat as most of the others, but driving against so many big names and experienced campaigners will be the biggest challenge and I can’t wait to get started on Friday to see where we’re at.” 

Round five of the TFH Hire TA2 Muscle Car Series presented by Maritimo Luxury Yachts is the headline act for the Hi-Tec Super Series and kicks off August 15-17 at Queensland Raceway. Saturday and Sunday’s action can be watched live and free to air on SBS Free to Air, SBS On Demand and simulcast to Fox Sports and Kayo Sports. 

2022 Super2 Series champion and 2025 Brad Jones Racing co-driver Declan Fraser is the next high profile driver to be named for the TA2 Muscle Car Series Tag Team Enduro, combining with friend Hayden Jackson in the #81 Dodge Challenger, the only Challenger entered for the August 15-17 event at Queensland Raceway. 

Fraser, currently competing in the GT World Challenge Australia and signed on for the 2025 Supercars endurance season, brings a wealth of experience and versatility across multiple racing categories.

Fraser said he’s been looking at TA2 and Trans Am for a while now and is super excited to have a crack at the ever popular category.  

"I’ve been keeping an eye on the TA2 Muscle Car Series for quite a while now and there are so many drivers performing at a high level across both TA2 and Trans Am, so when Hayden asked me to jump in, I was really keen to have a crack."

"I’m feeling good after the test day because they’re really raw race car, which I love. The back of the car feels similar to a Supercar, so it’s great to get some seat time leading into the Supercars enduro season. It’s a pretty stacked field, but hopefully Hayden and I can put our heads together and come away with a strong result."

After a challenging start to the season, Jackson currently sits 15th in the championship but is steadily gaining confidence as he comes to terms with the car's setup.

Fraser and Jackson last competed against each other in the Toyota 86 Series in recent years and said he’s looking forward to a valuable learning experience this weekend.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun driving with Declan again. We used to race together in the 86 Series, but now with the experience he’s gained he’s a few steps ahead of us. We’ll take the opportunity to not only have fun but also learn from him and see what kind of results we can achieve,” he said

“I reached out to Declan about three months ago to float the idea, and he got back to me almost straight away saying he was keen. It’s a seriously competitive field, so we’re just aiming for some positive and consistent results.”

PremiAir Racing’s James Golding has confirmed his place beside up and coming star 17 year old Lachlan Evennett for next weekend’s TA2 Tag Team Enduro, taking place at Queensland Raceway from August 15 to 17.

Racing alongside each other in the Trico Trans Am Series with Garry Rogers Motorsport, Evennett and Golding are no strangers to each other and despite considering Queensland Raceway his home track said that being an endurance event the TA2 Tag Team event would be a new challenge. 

“I’m excited to be teaming up with Lachlan for the TA2 two-driver event. He’s been quick in these cars, and it’s going to be something different for me. I’m used to running on Hoosier tyres in the Trans Am car, so adapting to the Goodyear tyre will be a key focus to get the most out of the car.”

"It’s definitely an advantage already working together in the Trico Trans Am Series with GRM but he’s had more experience in the TA2 series on the Goodyears, so I’ll be looking to learn from him while also offering my support. By the time we get to the endurance race, I think we’ll both be in a strong position to be really competitive." 

While Golding will get plenty of miles this weekend in his Supercar, Evennett will also be racing in the Toyota GR Cup meaning both drivers will be well prepared come first practice next week. 

Evennett’s last TA2 race was at Queensland Raceway when he joined Ashley Jarvis Racing finishing eighth outright and says that teaming up with an experienced driver like Golding will be a huge advantage.

"Jimmy brings a wealth of experience in these cars and in racing overall but there are still a few unknowns with so many drivers in the field, so we’ll just do our thing and see where we’re placed come Sunday.”

“I’m really looking forward to learning a lot from Jimmy, it’s not all on one driver but I think we can push each other forward up the grid.”

The format will see a sprint race for each of the team drivers both Saturday and Sunday while two 45-minute enduro races will feature a compulsory driver change mid race with the team that has accumulated the most points over all 6 races declared the winner of the 2025 QLD Raceway TA2 Tag Team Enduro. Grid positions for the mini enduro races will be determined on how each driver performs in their own individual sprint races.

The third running of the TA2 Muscle Cars Tag Team Enduro will now see 4 Bathurst 1000 winners on the grid with confirmation Paul Morris and Brodie Kostecki will team up for the event at Queensland Raceway August 15-17. 

Morris, a winner in 2014 and Kostecki a winner in 2025, also join Kostecki’s 2025 winning partner Todd Hazelwood, plus 7-time winner and motorsport legend Craig Lowndes (96, 06, 07, 08, 10, 15, 18) in easily the deepest talent field seen for a TA2 Racing Australia event. 

Neither Morris or Kostecki are strangers to the TA2 vehicle platform, with Kostecki driving a Camaro and claiming the podium in his only appearance in the Trans Am series, ironically at Queensland Raceway in 2022, but it was Morris who first floated the idea late last week and said with the car sitting in the shed we figured we should probably go racing. 

"I floated the idea to Brodie last week, the car was sitting in the workshop, and I figured we should go racing. I’ve done a few laps in Nash’s TA2 car about 18 months ago and Brodie’s last run in a TA2 Camaro saw him on the podium at Queensland Raceway. We haven’t had a chance to test on the new tyres, so there are a few unknowns, but we’re going there to have a proper crack and chase a strong result."

Kostecki will have plenty of miles under his belt with the Queensland Raceway round of the Supercars Series this weekend and said he is excited to go out and have some fun in a competitive car. 

"Paul floated the idea to me last week while we were in the workshop, and it came together pretty quickly from there. I’m really excited to get back behind the wheel and have some fun. It’s great to see Paul racing in a competitive car again, he’s been doing a solid job in the V8 SuperUte Series but teaming up with him in something like this is pretty special."

"Paul’s been a huge mentor throughout my career, so to finally share a car with him in a proper race is something I’ve always looked forward to. I can’t wait to see how we stack up."

Promoters of the third running of the TA2 Tag Team Enduro have already announced Craig Lowndes, George Miedecke, Todd Hazelwood, Nash Morris, Aaron Seton and Tim Slade as notable entries with further announcements expected this week. 

The format will see a sprint race for each of the team drivers both Saturday and Sunday while two 45-minute enduro races will feature a compulsory driver change mid race with the team that has accumulated the most points over all 6 races declared the winner of the 2025 QLD Raceway TA2 Tag Team Enduro. Grid positions for the mini enduro races will be determined on how each driver performs in their own individual sprint races.

Two-time Trans Am champion Nathan Herne will join forces with Tom Davies for the upcoming TA2 Tag Team Enduro, taking place at Queensland Raceway from August 15 to 17.

Herne will serve as both driver and team manager at the event as Davies competes in the TA2 Series in Herne’s family team driving a Camaro as opposed to the Mustang which he drives with GRM in the Trans Am Series.  

Currently sitting second in the Trico Trans Am Series Herne said that he and Tom share a very similar driving style, a factor he believes puts them in a strong position to contend for the win.

“It’s been an interesting experience this year being on the ‘other side of the fence’, stepping back from driving and focusing on engineering and mechanical support for Tom in the TA2 Series. The season’s had its up's and down's, but we had a really strong car at the last round at Queensland Raceway,” Herne said.

“Based on the data and footage and with Tom and my very similar driving styles, I think we have a real shot for the win at the Enduro. It’s going to be a big event with tough competition, but Tom is a hard charger, and with my experience in these cars, I think that combination could really pay off for us.”

Davies endured a challenging start to the season with a car fire at Round 1 in Winton, but has bounced back impressively, securing his first two TA2 podium finishes at the most recent round at Queensland Raceway.

Davies currently sits seventh in the TA2 championship and said he’s looking forward to partnering with a driver of Herne’s experience, giving him extra confidence going into the Enduro.

“Obviously, Nathan is a guru when it comes to these cars both behind the wheel and in the garage and from what I’ve seen this year as he’s running my car, I’m not sure I could be partnered with a better driver,” he said. 

“We came out of Round 4 at Queensland Raceway feeling confident with the changes we’ve made to the car. I’ve finally got a solid feel for the new tyres, so I’m confident that together we can achieve a strong result.”
