Matt Stone Racing steps up to the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship this year, with the driver it took to the 2017 Dunlop Super2 Series title, Todd Hazelwood.

The son of Supercars Hall of Famer Jim Stone, Matt Stone set up his outfit in Supercars’ feeder class in 2011 with an ex-Stone Brothers Racing Falcon.

It has grown since then, Hazelwood coming on board in 2014, in a partnership that graduates now to the main game full-time after making a wildcard appearance at Queensland Raceway last year.

Having started the season with an ex-DJR Team Penske Falcon, MSR made a mid-season switch to an ex-Triple Eight VF Commodore.

Hazelwood continues with experienced engineer Wes McDougall, while former Tekno chief Steve Greer comes on board as team manager.

MSR will maintain its Super2 and Touring Car Masters programs.
