Jacobson celebrates 100th race start with volunteers

Garry Jacobson has celebrated his 100th Repco Supercars Championship race start with volunteers.

PremiAir Racing hosted a breakfast in the at Symmons Plains paddock early on Saturday.

Centurion Jacobson was joined by more than 140 Supercars volunteers and officials.

It comes ahead of the first race of this weekend’s NED Whisky Tasmania SuperSprint, which will be Jacobson’s 100th.

The 30-year-old took the opportunity to recognise the efforts of people who have helped him to go racing.

“I’m very excited to reach such a milestone in a competitive sport like Supercars,” Jacobson said. 

“We would always like to have a few more trophies in the cabinet, but I know that I’m competing against the best there is in the country, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. 

“The people that have supported me consistently year in, year out, will always be the reason I still have the opportunity to do this in the first place.

“The volunteers put in long hours and none of our events would be able to go ahead without their help.

"So thank you to the volunteers here this weekend and at all our events throughout the season for the work they all put in.

"It’s been a lovely morning getting to meet some of them.

“I’m looking forward to a great first day out on track, let’s hope it’s a successful one for myself and the team.”
