Matt Stone Racing has switched out his regular #10 for the #222, a number that holds significance across Percat\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

He used it in Carrera Cup and Super2 on his way to Supercars, also sporting it at times during his main game career.<\/p>\n

He was carrying #222 when he took a famous upset victory at what was then known as the Adelaide 500 in 2016.<\/p>\n

With 97 main game Supercars starts to his name with the #222 the switch will mean he will bow out of the category on 100 starts with #222 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very special to finish my full-time Supercars career back in #222, it\u2019s a bit of a full circle moment,\u201d said Percat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had so many big moments and memories with that number, from Carrera Cup and Super2 through to Supercars.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo race it for the final time at home in Adelaide, and bring up my 100th start in the number, makes this weekend even more meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to MSR, \u2018thank you Nick\u2019 will also feature on in-car signage, pit walling and posters across the weekend.<\/p>\n

Percat is set to join Triple Eight as an enduro co-driver next year, while his #10 MSR Camaro will be taken over by rookie Zach Bates.<\/p>\n
