Tecalemit Australia partners Hazelwood for Bathurst

V8 Supercars Dunlop Development Series regular Todd Hazelwood is proud to announce that Tecalemit Australia will be his major sponsor for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

The vehicle hoists and lubrication equipment brand are excited to be supporting the 18-year-old for his debut in a V8 Supercar at the Mount Panorama circuit in October.

"All of the staff here at Tecalemit Australia are very excited and proud to be the naming rights partner for Todd Hazelwood Racing at the mighty Bathurst event," National Sales and Marketing manager of Tecalemit Dean Rothapfel said.

"We are strong supporters of Todd and his family, and we trust Todd will perform well on-and-off the track to ensure our Tecalemit brand will receive great recognition and exposure throughout the event.

"We can't wait to be involved with Todd and the team - and we all look forward to cheering him on in the Tecalemit V8 Supercar."

Tecalemit are a regular sponsor of the young South Australian, having jumped on board at the start of Hazelwood's National Formula 3 campaign in 2013.

The teenager is very grateful for Tecalemit's strong support during his racing career to date.

"It is fantastic to have the iconic South Australian business come on-board as the naming rights partner for Bathurst and I am very proud to continue our partnership going into the biggest round for the year," Hazelwood said.

"Tecalemit have been a strong supporter of mine over the last two seasons, and I believe there is no better event than Bathurst to come on-board as a major partnerin the V8 Supercars Dunlop Series.

"Without the support of Tecalemit and my other sponsors throughout 2014, the Bathurst dream would not have been possible."

Hazelwood has been working on his fitness during the lead-up to the 250km race, which he will contest without the optional co-driver.
