Ingall / Feeney wildcard confirmed.
Looks like Auto Action was on the money. |

Supercheap loved him, he was the most identified driver with them out of their long and varied tenure.
Could this be an interview for a Supercheap-powered 888-mobile next year? I don't know anything and I don't have secret sauces but the way Shane is going maybe 888 don't have to go for a proven guy in the other seat. if Rusty and Broc bring it home in the ten with no mistakes you'd think he's going to put his hand up for that seat. Probably a very tough ask. I can't imagine Rusty is going to do the setup or qualify. But hell it is going to be entertaining to watch and the ad blitz from Supercheap trying to get one over Repco will be one to see. |

Skaife is probably already practicing the correct pronunciation of Ingall?s name!
The pit garage or in car interview with Rusty should be interesting on race day. |

Given that the sponsor is in direct competition with the series and race's title sponsor, that Ingall and much of the broadcast team have little regard for one another after Ingall was binned by Fox in 2019, you would think they might struggle to get much of a look in airtime wise. But then it is a 888 car and there is a fairly obvious love-in between the commentators and that team, so who knows?

Ru$$ell'$ alway$ had an appreciation of the dollar$ and know$ hi$ own worth, plu$ of cour$e there ha$ been a long relation$hip with $upercheap and no doubt, $upercheap saw using Ru$$ell as a way to really rub $alt into Repco, for "$tealing" the 1000 $pon$or$hip.

So what about a rumour about a third DJR Repco Mustang for Seaton?

Does anyone know what's happening to Ricky Kelly? Is he involved in KGR in any capacity? His silence about the team's doings is a bit strange as well as the fact he hasn't showed up at any of the weekends. I know he's resigned from management role of the team (which is strange itself) but I didn't expect that he'd break completely with the team and Supercars.

Not even a Co-Drive anywhere, however he did a early run in the Family Mustang at the beginning of the year with covid testing was going on from memory |

For me it looks a bit as if there was something wrong between Rick and Todd, however, as you say, Rick was testing a KGR car before the season so who knows.
Nevertheless it seems pretty weird looking at Rick's Instagram and not seeing anything connected with the team. I wonder what happened behind the scenes and trying to look for an answer but not likely I'll get one! |

KGR has been setup as a seperate entity to Kelly Racing, maybe Rick is more involved with the KR stuff and less with KGR? |

Is KGR really a separate entity to Kelly Racing? I though Grove just bought in the team and Kelly Racing was morphed into Kelly Grove Racing.
