However, the alignment of Brad Jones Racing\u2019s four entries has meant the team has been second-to-last in the pit lane order.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a source of motivation for the all-new driver line-up, that, despite its inexperience, sees potential to move up the pit lane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t sit well with any of us,\u201d Ojeda told Speedcafe when asked of its pit lane position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, we\u2019re bringing in two rookies essentially. Declan\u2019s coming back to do his second year. It\u2019s a building process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not going to be from Round 1 we\u2019re going to be rolling out and up the front. It\u2019s a project, it\u2019s a plan, it\u2019s putting all the pieces in place, but we\u2019re all gonna learn and improve together and eventually go fighting for wins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time we go on track, we want to win and we want to do the best result we can in every, every single outing. If the situation presents itself that you\u2019re fighting for a win, then that\u2019s awesome and that\u2019s ultimately the goal every time you go out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James Golding missed out on making this years\u2019 Finals Series, having looked likely to make the cut for the lion\u2019s share of the Sprint Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser, who makes his full-time return after a solitary campaign with Tickford Racing in 2023, is optimistic PremiAir Racing can be in the finals despite the line-up\u2019s relative inexperience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I believe that we should be able to make Finals,\u201d said Fraser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome Bathurst \u2013 and after Bathurst obviously is when the Finals get announced \u2013 I think we should be in the final 10, rolling into Bathurst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve seen how cutthroat it is from there, then we\u2019ll just play it by ear from there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think for us, our objective is to come in and just move up pit lane as much as possible and be in that top 10 by Bathurst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/92797\/b\/285249\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/285249.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PremiAir Racing at the 2025 Adelaide Grand Final.
