Celebration for Jason
Jack Daniel’s Racing driver Rick Kelly has jumped into sixth place in the 2011 V8 Supercars Championship standings in the final race of the season at the Sydney Telstra 500 in New South Wales today. Kelly suffered as a result of both strategy in the changeable conditions as well as car speed coming through traffic, but his 12th place finish ...
Kelly Racing has appointed internationally experienced motorsport engineer Tony Dowe to the position of Performance Director.
Dowe will oversee the technical and racing aspects of the operation, which enters its fourth year of competition in 2012.
Having completed a four-month engineering consultancy role with Kelly Racing in the final stages of the 2011 V8 Supercars Championship, Dowe has now relocated from the United States to Australia to work from the team’s Braeside headquarters.
Dowe is the former Managing Director of TWR’s United States arm, which operated the successful Jaguar sportscar program in the late 1980s and early 1990s, winning both the Daytona and Le Mans 24 Hour events.
