MSR announces new partnership with BHP Mitsubishi Alliance
Hill ninth in championship heading to Townsville on July 11-13
Matt Stone Racing has announced a new partnership with BHP Mitsubishi Alliance, which will take naming rights on Cameron Hill's #4 Chevrolet Camaro at the NTI Townsville 500.
BMA is backing Hill's car the upcoming North Queensland street race, the #4 Camaro to carry BMA logos and Safety Starts with Me branding.
BMA is a 50:50 joint venture between BHP and Mitsubishi Development, and is Australia’s largest producer and supplier of seaborne steel making coal. BMA operates five mines in the Bowen Basin and the Hay Point Coal Terminal near Mackay.
Safety Starts with Me is BMA’s safety program, designed to strengthen and further embed safety as a core value across its operations.
Team owner Stone and Hill recently visited BMA’s Peak Down mine in Queensland to speak with senior leaders.
"Our new partnership with the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance is one of the most exciting in our team's history, and we're really looking forward to introducing a company like them into the sport for its first taste," Stone said.
"Cam and I recently met with many of BMA's staff at Peak Downs Mine (Queensland) and we were thrilled to see their knowledge and support of Supercars and sport in general.
"It will be really cool to have some of their team join us at the coal face of our racing program too, immersing them in our weekend competition, giving the winner the ultimate insight into how a Supercars team goes about its business.
"And we know that this is not only a great event to be part of, but it comes at a crucial time for Cam Hill and the #4 Camaro. We are right in the fight for a place in the top 10, so we know there'll be lots of interest in the 'Safety Starts with Me' entry."
Adam Lancey, BMA Asset President, added: “At BMA, we’re focused on embedding a high-performance safety culture across our Central Queensland steelmaking coal mines and operations.
“From the pit to the pitlane, Matt Stone Racing shares our commitment to safety and celebrating the role every team member plays in keeping themselves and their mates safe.”
Hill is ninth in the championship heading to this weekend's event.
