<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cTo make my Super2 debut at Hidden Valley, in front of my home crowd and representing the Northern Territory, makes the opportunity even more special.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrowing up racing at this circuit in Excels & HQs, I always dreamed of one day competing here in a V8 Supercar so it will be unreal to make it a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Apogee Motorsport, it\u2019s the first time the Scott Stephenson-run team has entered the Super2 Series.<\/p>\n
The team has leased an Image Racing Holden ZB Commodore for the limited schedule.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m honoured to take this next step with Scott and the entire Apogee Motorsport team,\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the last few seasons together in V8 SuperUtes, we\u2019ve built a strong relationship and I\u2019ve seen first hand how professional and passionate this team is, so it\u2019s fitting to make the step up into Dunlop Super2 with Apogee.<\/p>\n
\u201c2026 has already been a huge year, with a strong finish in Sydney in the V8 SuperUtes and a win on debut in the Aussie Racing Cars at Bathurst. Those moments have been special, but this upcoming round in Darwin will undoubtedly be the highlight of the season for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Apogee Motorsport said the Super2 Series program was part of a long-term ambition to create a pathway from grassroots racing to the top of Australian motorsport.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a huge milestone for the team as we continue our goal of being the first team in the country to build a complete pathway for young and aspiring drivers to climb from Karting to Supercars,\u201d the team said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cApogee already supports the major feeder categories and supporting Super2 is the final step on that pathway to Supercars.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Super2 Series is part of the Darwin Triple Crown support card with the Repco Supercars Championship.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
