Matt Stone Racing

Matt Stone Racing steps up its Virgin Australia Supercars Championship program in 2019, after its rookie campaign with Todd Hazelwood.

The son of Supercars Hall of Famer Jim Stone, Matt Stone set up his outfit in the Dunlop Super2 Series in 2011 with an ex-Stone Brothers Racing Falcon.

It has grown considerably since then, Hazelwood coming on board in 2014, in a partnership that netted the Super2 title three years later.

Both parties stepped up to the Supercars main game in 2018 with an ex-DJR Team Penske Falcon.

That was parked mid-year in favour of Hazelwood's Super2 title-winning VF Commodore and the team gets an upgraded Triple Eight chassis – raced by Jamie Whincup in 2018 – this season.

MSR also has programs in the Super2 and Super3 feeder classes.
