DICK Johnson Racing has opted to replace Will Davison for the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship.
Davison was under contract for next season (different to the one-plus-one arrangement Richie Stanaway had with PremiAir Racing) but he will not see out the second year of his deal.
He will, however, continue on for the rest of this year, allowing him to enter Supercars’ esteemed 600-race club next month at Sandown.
He’ll become just the fifth driver to reach that milestone, after Craig Lowndes, Garth Tander, Mark Winterbottom and James Courtney.
Of Davison’s 599 Supercars Championship races to date, 321 have come with DJR across two stints (2005-08, 2021-25).
But there’ll be just five more in Shell V-Power colours.
“Will’s been family to us, and that won’t change. He’s a champion and a true professional,” said team founder Dick Johnson.
“These last two rounds, we’ll be doing everything we can to send him off with the results he deserves. That’s what you do for blokes like Will.”
Davison said: “I’ve had two great stints with this team, and I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved together.

“It’s the right time for both of us to move forward. To achieve 600 starts at Sandown – a track that means so much to my family – is special.
“I’ll be giving it everything across these final two rounds.”
Super2 Series leader Rylan Gray has for weeks been heavily linked to DJR, where Brodie Kostecki will continue on in 2026 as the team’s spearhead.
Davison is expected to hunt for a co-drive elsewhere.
