The Albury-based squad has today announced its acquisition of Hill from Matt Stone Racing, the race winner to join in place of Bryce Fullwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Hill announcement also confirms that Macauley Jones will continue with BJR next season, which means the squad now has three of its four drivers locked in, including the in-contract Andre Heimgartner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That leaves the SCT Logistics entry, currently raced by Jaxon Evans, as an unconfirmed BJR seat for next year.<\/p>\n

That charter is serviced by BJR, but owned by the Smith family, who has final say over who drives the #12 Camaro.<\/p>\n

Hill\u2019s BJR move has been one of the worst-kept secrets of the Supercars silly season with a long-standing expectation that his MSR stint would end after three seasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He will arrive at BJR with a genuine Toyota pedigree, having been a race winner in the early days of the 86 Racing Series.<\/p>\n

According to Hill, reuniting with the car-making giant was a big drawcard for this deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to be joining Brad Jones Racing in 2026 and beyond,\u201d said Hill.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big part of joining BJR is its new association with Toyota. It\u2019s a manufacturer that doesn\u2019t do things by halves and has enjoyed great success globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, there\u2019s already some history with Toyota. I raced in the Toyota 86 Racing Series when it first started and won the very first race. This played a big part in my career trajectory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also really like how [team owner] Brad goes about his racing. He\u2019s been doing it for a long time, starting as a driver himself, and you can see his race team is really mature in addition to being very professional.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like the culture the team emits and I\u2019m very keen to be a part of it. Ultimately, the goal is to win the championship and I\u2019d really like us in a Toyota Supra to be part of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t be more thankful to Matt Stone and the whole MSR team for giving me my first opportunity. We\u2019ve done a lot together and there\u2019s been a heap of growth culminating in our first win this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed my time racing for MSR, but hopefully we come out and beat them on-track next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad Jones added: \u201cI\u2019m excited to welcome Cameron to the team for next year. He\u2019s a proven talent in Supercars and brings a new perspective and experience to our driving group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking through the process with Cameron and his team has been eye-opening to the passion and determination they have, and has made me certain he\u2019s a good fit for BJR.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working through our plans for 2026, obviously we have some big changes on the cards so stay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n
