The telecommunications brand will take up co-naming rights on the entry.
“To have Boost Mobile not only join our team, but become a major partner is fantastic for everybody involved,” said Barry Ryan, Erebus CEO.
“Boost Mobile are a fantastic company that not only provides a great service but has a real passion for what they do and connecting to the youth market.
“Having Boost Mobile onboard shows the strength and direction the team is heading, and we are more than confident Brodie can have the Boost Mobile Commodore near the front of the field.”
The Australian owned Boost Mobile was founded in 2000 by Peter Adderton and has grown to be the world’s largest youth mobile brand.
The brand’s heavy focus on action sports, lifestyle and music means their new partnership with Erebus is the perfect natural extension.
“We have long been a support of Brodie and when the opportunity to partner with Erebus and Brodie came up, we jumped at it,” said Adderton.
“Getting behind young talent has been a key to Boost’s success, and I have always said if Supercars fans support Boost Mobile we will invest back in the sport.
“We have seen tremendous support for our brand amongst a lot of fans which enables us to support young drivers like Brodie.”
Kostecki is shaping up for his first full campaign, after getting the call up from Super2 late last year.
“I’m extremely proud to have represented Boost for a number of years, but it’s even more special to see them wrapped all over my #99 Holden,” said Kostecki.
“I can’t wait to get back in the car at Bathurst, the car looks fast and I’m hoping we can start where we left off last time.”
Erebus has also received new backing from Rampage, New Balance and WD-40.
Kostecki’s new look will make its on-track debut at this weekend’s season opener at Bathurst.

Other notable drivers include Dick Johnson, Marcos Ambrose, Craig Lowndes, Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup, who holds the record for the most championship titles, and Mark Skaife, who has also been a dominant force in the series.
