Hazelwood to race with DJR-bound Brodie Kostecki in 2025 enduros
Kostecki, Hazelwood combined to win Repco Bathurst 1000 last month
Dick Johnson Racing has formally confirmed Bathurst winner Todd Hazelwood will reunite with Brodie Kostecki for the 2025 Supercars enduros.
In October, Kostecki and Hazelwood combined to dominate the Repco Bathurst 1000 for Erebus Motorsport.
Kostecki, the 2023 Supercars champion, had already been confirmed at DJR for the upcoming season in August. Later reports linked Hazelwood to the Ford team following their Bathurst win.
Hazelwood, the 2017 Super2 champion and recent Trans Am title winner, revealed after his Bathurst victory that he was eyeing a competitive co-drive in 2025.
On Friday, the Shell V-Power Racing Team announced Hazelwood will follow Kostecki to the Ford squad, with the duo to share a DJR Mustang at The Bend and Mount Panorama next season.
Will Davison, meanwhile, is set to race with Tony D'Alberto, with rising star Kai Allen joining Penrite Racing full-time from next season.
"How’s this for great news on a Friday! Hazelwood to join Kostecki as his Co-Driver in the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship," DJR said in a brief statement.
"We can’t wait to see you in the Shell V-Power Racing Team Mustang Todd! Welcome to the Team."
Kostecki and Hazelwood will be followed to DJR from Erebus by engineers George Commins and Tom Moore, with the Ford squad to race Erebus-built chassis from next season.
Hazelwood becomes the fifth co-driver to be formally announced for 2025, following Scott Pye (Triple Eight Race Engineering), Mark Winterbottom (Tickford Racing), Garth Tander (Grove Racing) and David Russell (PremiAir Racing).
Pye is set to return with 2024 champion Will Brown, with Tander also expected to return alongside Matt Payne, Winterbottom and Russell will race with Cam Waters and James Golding respectively.
Waters' co-driver between 2021 and 2024, James Moffat, will shift to Thomas Randle's entry.
The inaugural Supercars enduro at The Bend Motorsport Park in 2025 will be held on September 12-14, followed by the Repco Bathurst 1000 on October 9-12. Tickets for both events are on sale now.
