PremiAir Racing confirms Cooper Murray contract
Murray signs on with team for 2027 and 2028 seasons
Murray replaces Declan Fraser from the Gold Coast
Cooper Murray has signed on with PremiAir Racing until 2028, the team has revealed.
Murray will join PremiAir for the remainder of the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship, beginning at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.
He has been replaced at Erebus by Jarrod Hughes, who will make his solo Supercars debut.
Murray will take over PremiAir's #777 Camaro for the Gold Coast, Sandown and Adelaide rounds before joining Jayden Ojeda in the Gold Coast squad's full-time line-up in 2027.
The Peter Xiberras-owned, Roland Dane-run team confirmed Murray has signed on for both 2027 and 2028.
PremiAir Racing Team Principal Dane thanked Fraser, saying: “We’re grateful to Declan for his efforts this year in the team.”
On getting Murray in early, Dane said: “We want to prepare ourselves for 2027 as early as possible, and the opportunity to put Cooper into the car now cannot be passed up, as it will only benefit our program development for next season. We wish Declan the best for the future."
Xiberras said: “Cooper has signed up with us for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, so it makes sense to have him on board now for the end of the current campaign. We’re thrilled to have him joining us."
Murray added: “I’m excited to be joining PremiAir Racing and getting started with the team at the Gold Coast. With 2027 and 2028 locked in, these final three events give us a great opportunity to start working together and build towards next season.
“I’m looking forward to getting to know the engineers and crew, understanding how the team operates and getting comfortable in the Camaro. It’s also great to continue within the GM Motorsport family.
“Thank you to Peter and Roland for the opportunity and their belief in me. I’m keen to get to work and make the most of these remaining rounds.”
Murray sits 18th in points heading to the Gold Coast.
