Brad Jones Racing has emerged as the latest, and perhaps most probable, Supercars team to join Toyota for the 2026 season.
Team owner Brad Jones addressed the media in Taupo New Zealand, the scene of this weekend’s third round of the 2025 championship, and while he did not specifically confirm any plans to park his team's four Chevrolet Camaros, he did not say anything to end the ongoing media speculation.
“I’m just looking at what’s available and then at some point in the not-too-distant future I’ll make a decision,” he said.
“But right now I’m just focused on what we’re doing day to day and that [the team's future] is something that’s going on in the background.”

At present the team, based in regional Albury in New South Wales, runs in Chevrolets for New Zealand drivers Andre Heimgartner and Jaxon Evans, and Australians Bryce Fullwood and Macauley Jones – Brad's son.
BJR can trace its history back 40 years to when Jones Sr and his brother Kim raced in Formula Ford. Kim stepped back from driving to run the team while Brad raced in a variety of categories, moving up to what was then V8 Supercars in 2000.
That was with Fords, before the team switched brands to Holden in 2008. BJR has also had factory links with other brands, notably with Mitsubishi in Production Cars and Group A in the 1980s and with Audi in Super Touring in the 1990s.
