Ash Walsh returns to the Dunlop Super2 Series for the first time in five years in 2019, and reunites with Matt Stone Racing.

Walsh spent three seasons in MSR Falcons from 2012, finishing seventh, second and third in the championship.

He then graduated to the Supercars main game for a single season with Erebus Motorsport in 2015, and has been a Brad Jones Racing co-driver in the PIRTEK Enduro Cup since.

The Ipswich-born racer began his career in Formula Ford, setting a national record for winning nine-consecutive races en-route to second in the 2007 championship.

A stint in Europe followed in which Walsh raced in British Formula Ford and Formula Renault 2.0 Western European Championship, in the latter against the likes of current Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo.

His performances led to a role as a rookie test driver for Team Australia in A1 Grand Prix in 2008/09, where he matched it with other rookie drivers before the series folded.

Walsh returned to Australia and, after a brief period away from racing, reentered Formula Ford then had a successful four-season Super2 run with Miles Racing and MSR.

After a single main game campaign in an Erebus Mercedes, Walsh has established himself as an enduro regular and partners Tim Slade for a fourth-straight year in 2019.
