\u201cI am absolutely delighted to join the team at Grove Racing in this next phase and chapter of my career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been admiring the progression of this team from afar over the last few years and it\u2019s clear they mean business, which was proven by their success throughout this season, at Bathurst and during their finals campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to Brenton and Stephen Grove and Garth Tander for making this happen. I love their vision and I am excited to be part of that journey going forwards.<\/p>\n
