The Kelly family team was originally formed out of a takeover of Perkins Engineering ahead of 2009 and ran in the main game from 2009-2020.<\/p>\n
That morphed into what is now Grove Racing, initially run as Kelly Grove Racing in 2021 before a full buyout ahead of 2022.<\/p>\n
Kelly Racing returned as a Dunlop Series team in 2023 \u2013 initially with a single Nissan Altima for Todd\u2019s son Mason.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s run two KR Mustangs in the last two seasons, where Mason has been paired with race winners Aaron Cameron (2024) and Cam McLeod (2025).<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old Mason elected to step back from Super2 racing following a heavy crash at Ipswich in August, and Todd has now elected to sell up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been in it for our whole lives, pretty much,\u201d Todd Kelly told Speedcafe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been fantastic for Mason to experience what myself and his uncle, Rick, have experienced with all the tracks in these cars.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of what we did, and it\u2019s flowed on a bit now he\u2019s got a few other opportunities in different cars, which is good.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the news that there are two years left in this spec car [before Gen3 moves into Super2]<\/a>, we thought it\u2019s a really good time to try and offload everything.<\/p>\n \u201cRick and I don\u2019t want to be older and greyer than what we are and have collected all these cars and gear in our shed, so it\u2019s a good time to hand it over.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of interest. Nothing\u2019s locked away yet, but there are a few good options to make sure that Super2 doesn\u2019t actually lose them off the grid.<\/p>\n \u201cBut for us, between the resort up in Mildura and a few other projects we\u2019ve got going on, there\u2019s just not enough time in the day, so it\u2019s better that we don\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n Supercars delays introduction of Gen3 cars to Super2 Series<\/a><\/p>\n The Trentham Waters Resort is scheduled to open to the public on December 15 in a major milestone for the family.<\/p>\n Todd and Rick meanwhile retain a Nissan Altima each, presented in Carsales and Castrol colours respectively, but have no such sentimentality towards the Mustangs.<\/p>\n All other Kelly Racing team equipment is also for sale, from tyre trollies to fuel rigs, setup equipment and spares.<\/p>\n The transporter has already been snapped up by Team 18, which will use it to underpin its Craig Lowndes-fronted wildcard entry.<\/p>\n The Kelly Racing machine shop, which was established alongside the race team in 2012, was also recently sold to engineering firm GN Precision.<\/p>\n Kelly will lease the Mustangs if they are unable to be sold, but either way Kelly Racing won\u2019t return to Super2 next season.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the end of an era, although not a complete full stop.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve still got the two Nissans and a heap of engines and stuff at work,\u201d said Kelly.<\/p>\n \u201cThe engine building is still operational, as well as all the sub-assembly stuff, so I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever be out of it, you know.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll still support all the older Nissans and these Fords within the workshop and rebuilding stuff, supplying parts and bits and pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n Tod Kelly retains his final race car. Image: Supplied<\/p>\n Mason, meanwhile, could return to action in the booming GT4 Australia series next year.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s had a few test days in a Mustang GT4 car, which he did really well at. He likes the car, it suits him well,\u201d explained Kelly.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think anything\u2019s locked in. He\u2019s sort of off and running now, organising his bits and pieces, which is good, but hopefully he gets a few runs in that next year.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s gearing up a fair bit with his uni and a few of his own projects too, so I think for the next year or so that that level would be quite handy with what he\u2019s got on his plate.\u201d<\/p>\n Kelly Racing\u2019s Super2 swansong will see it field Max Geoghegan alongside McLeod at this weekend\u2019s Adelaide Grand Final.<\/p>\n Geoghegan had spent the season to date with Image Racing, with his seat filled for this weekend by NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Jesse Love.<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TKelly_front-scaled.jpg\")
