Brad Jones Racing’s Nick Percat will cruise into the next round of the Supercars Championship with the support of Harley-Davidson.
The global motorcycle icon joined BJR at the start of the season, stepping up their support with naming rights on the No. 8 Commodore for the penultimate round of the Championship in New Zealand.
Pukekohe is a special place for the BJR team, where they race in honor of their friend and team-mate, the late Jason Richards.

“It’s fantastic to have Harley-Davidson on board for the Pukekohe event this weekend. Pukekohe is a special place for us for many reasons, mainly because of JR (Jason Richards), we always race with everything we’ve got, but this event is something different. Hopefully he shines down on us this weekend.” said team owner Brad Jones.
“It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, people instantly recognize Harley-Davidson. The reveal is pretty exciting for us as it’s something we’ve had in the pipeline for a while which we finally get to show off.”
“The livery is similar to what they run on the H-D1 Custom Shop Freightliner Truck they use in Australia to haul their gear and display bikes across country. It’s tough, and the flames are something we haven’t seen on a Supercar in a few years, so it’s cool to bring them back for this event.”

Nigel Keough, Managing Director of Harley-Davidson Australia and New Zealand was excited to see the brand on Nick Percat’s car.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with the Harley-Davidson livery on the Supercar for this weekend. When it comes to love of motor racing and Harley-Davidson, New Zealand fans are some of the most passionate around and to race with Brad Jones Racing at Pukekohe is fantastic.”
