Jones to carry Kubota colours in NZ

Macauley Jones will carry the familiar naming rights of Kubota for this weekend’s ITM Auckland SuperSprint.

Kubota last graced Jones’ #96 Commodore at June’s Darwin round.

Back then, Jones ran a one-off Indigenous livery for the Hidden Valley round.

This weekend’s Kubota scheme is burnt orange with black and silver trim.

Kubota has been the leading supplier of agriculture, construction, and power equipment in the Oceania region for more than 40 years.

The #96 car will also cary backing from tools.com, Automotive Superstore, TRG Transport, DrillPro and Pertamina.

The striking livery was brought to life by 3M Films and PPG.

The first race of the weekend is also Brad Jones Racing's 700th Supercars race.

Malcolm Owens, Kubota Australia General Manager for Marketing Australia and New Zealand, was thrilled with the livery.

"BJR as usual have turned out a stunning car,” Owens said.

“This is a great opportunity for our New Zealand team and customers to see the Kubota brand represented on track at Pukekohe.”

Jones is 19th in the points heading to New Zealand.

Cars will be on track on Friday for the 30-minute Practice 1.
