Triple Eight signs Fraser for 2022 Dunlop Series

Triple Eight Race Engineering has poached Declan Fraser from MW Motorsport for the 2022 Dunlop Series.

Fraser completes Triple Eight's 2022 line-up, with the Queenslander joining new Carrera Cup champion Cameron Hill.

Triple Eight won the 2021 title with Broc Feeney, who will rise to the main game at Red Bull Ampol Racing in 2022.

A junior karter, Fraser transitioned to cars in 2017 and became the youngest ever Toyota 86 Series competitor in the series.

He is currently enrolled in the Paul Morris Racing Academy after accepting a scholarship into the program. The 2022 Dunlop Series will be his third in the category.

Fraser finished eighth overall in 2021

"I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity to drive for Triple Eight for season 2022," he said.

"The chance to race with and for the team that are the benchmark in our sport in terms of professionalism and performance is one that I intend to grab onto with both hands and will be doing everything I can to deliver further success to Triple Eight, my sponsors and supporters.

"I had a fantastic rookie year with some strong results and now I’m looking forward to next year and picking up where Broc left off.

"I’m going to throw everything I can at winning the championship and I know that being with Triple Eight, I’m going to be in a winning environment and will also have all the resources to do so both on and off the track.

"I cannot thank Jamie and the team enough for the support and belief they have shown in me and for welcoming me to the team. I’m really looking forward to testing and getting the season underway."

Triple Eight’s incoming Managing Director Jamie Whincup added: "Now we’ve secured our Super2 driving line-up for next year, we can fully focus on our objectives for the 2022 season and give both Declan and Cameron the resources they need on and off the track to ensure they both give it a red-hot crack.

"We pride ourselves on giving young talent a shot at the big league, and Triple Eight’s Super2 program is a breeding ground for young drivers, engineers and mechanics who have their sights on reaching the top-tier of Australian motorsport, which is Supercars.

"We’re thrilled to welcome Declan to the Banyo stables. He’s a ripping young kid, and I truly believe he’ll be one to keep an eye on heading into the 2022 season."

The 2022 Dunlop Series season will commence in March at the Repco Newcastle 500.

The six-round draft calendar was released during the Repco Bathurst 1000 weekend.
