The #96 entry will sport backing from John West Logistics for the Taupo and Ruapuna Supercars events.<\/p>\n

BJR ran a similar scheme on its #14 Chevrolet Camaro at Queensland Raceway last year.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s effort features major Toyota Finance branding on the car\u2019s bonnet.<\/p>\n

Jones enters the Taupo Super440 17th in the standings, the lowest of the five drives campaigning the new Supras.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig thanks to John and the entire JWL team for their incredible support,\u201d said Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe darker livery looks really aggressive, especially with the red stripes down the side. I\u2019m excited to get out on track in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year brings a fresh challenge with a new round in Christchurch and the New Zealand double-header, but I always enjoy racing here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans are incredibly passionate and it creates a fantastic atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n
