Evans, 29, has spent four years as part of the Brad Jones Racing-run SCT entry, joining as co-driver to Jack Smith in 2022 before stepping into the seat full-time in 2024.<\/p>\n

A highly credentialled international GT racer, the Kiwi finished 22nd in his rookie Supercars season and currently sits 23rd in this year\u2019s standings.<\/p>\n

That points position belies progress made by Evans this year, with three top 10 results weighed against five failures to finish and two non-starts.<\/p>\n

SCT Motorsport has made no announcements for its plans beyond 2025, noting in a statement that \u201cfurther updates regarding the team\u2019s 2026 driver line-up will be announced in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJaxon has been an incredible contributor to this team during the past three and a half years, firstly as a co-driver and then now in the primary driver role,\u201d said program manager Andrew Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis ability and talent in a race car are world class and combined with the way he connects with people, he has played an instrumental role in the progress that SCT Motorsport has made during his time as part of the team.<\/p>\n

Evans extended his gratitude towards the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m extremely thankful to SCT Logistics and the Smith family for the opportunity to compete full-time in Supercars,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experiences and lessons learnt along the journey are ones I\u2019ll continue to carry forward throughout my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans has split his time between Supercars and GT racing over the past two seasons, competing in GT World Challenge Australia with Ferrari squad Arise Racing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jaxon Evans aboard the SCT Camaro.
