HARLEY DAVIDSON JOINS SUPERCAR TEAM

By Heath McAlpine

Harley-Davidson will appear on Tim Slade’s Freightliner Holden Commodore to signal the start of a partnership between the iconic motorcycle brand and Brad Jones Racing.

“It’s fantastic to have Harley-Davidson on board with us this year,” an excited Brad Jones said.

“They are one of the most iconic brands in the world. They produce unbelievable motorcycles, backed up by a group of people who really go that extra mile to help you out.”

“In my youth, all I did was race motorcycles and my dream was to race Harley-Davidsons on the half mile flat tracks in America,” Jones continued. “For me, a motorcycle isn’t just a product, it’s an experience. Harley-Davidson really connect with their customers in that respect. The loyalty people show with their Harley-Davidson Motorcycle is a really special thing.”

Managing Director of Harley-Davidson Australia and New Zealand, Nigel Keough, is extremely pleased to team up with Brad Jones Racing and feels the brand is not only a good match with the team but with title sponsor Freightliner.

“We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Brad Jones Racing for the upcoming season. There’s a strong connection between Harley-Davidson fans and motorsport fans, particularly Supercars.”

“Brad Jones Racing is an authentic, enthusiastic team that has its origins in bond and family, which resonate through the Harley-Davidson brand and riding community.

“And of course we have a great association with Freightliner because they haul our mobile merchandise store and -D1 Custom Shop across the country. That makes the partnership even more exciting and we can’t wait to hit the championship with the team”.
