The 2016 Bathurst 1000 winner has been named in a 22 car Super2 field for Mount Panorama, set to drive for returning team Masterton Motorsport.<\/p>\n

James Masterton campaigned the ex-Tickford Racing Mustang during the 2023 Super2 season but has been absent since last year\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n

The car will sport Webb\u2019s traditional #19 for the event and carry backing from Nulon.<\/p>\n

Webb\u2019s return continues a series of Bathurst cameos for the Gold Coast-based former Supercars team owner in recent years.<\/p>\n

Last year he tackled the Super2 races aboard Eggleston Motorsport\u2019s #88 Holden Commodore in place of Cooper Murray.<\/p>\n

That followed a one-off return to the Great Race with PremiAir Racing in 2023.<\/p>\n

Webb, now 41, contested 17 Bathurst 1000s between 2006 and 2023, winning for his own Tekno Autosports operation alongside Will Davison in 2016.<\/p>\n

Tekno became PremiAir in 2022 following a buyout from drag racing champion Peter Xiberras.<\/p>\n

Jonathon Webb.<\/p>\n

Webb\u2019s entry is one of three changes to the Super2 field for Bathurst.<\/p>\n

Mason Kelly is sitting out the remainder of the season<\/a> following a heavy crash at the last round at Queensland Raceway.<\/p>\n

Eggleston\u2019s Elliot Cleary meanwhile remains out of action due to the broken hand that prevented him from starting either of the Ipswich Super2 encounters.<\/p>\n

Tickford Racing enters the fifth and penultimate round of the campaign with its four drivers leading the way in the standings.<\/p>\n

Rylan Gray leads on 1011 points from Nash Morris (894), Lochie Dalton (873) and Reuben Goodall (828), with Triple Eight\u2019s Jackson Walls (816) best of the rest in fifth.<\/p>\n

Morris will debut a new Gen2 Mustang at Mount Panorama<\/a>, while Triple Eight has delayed the rollout of a fresh car for Ben Gomersall until 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Masterton Mustang at Bathurst in 2024.
