Alex Davison has signed up to contest the Sandown and Bathurst endurance events for Dick Johnson Racing this year, joining brother Willℱ in the former champion's s𒆙quad.

The new addition is the elder of the two𝕴 Davison brothers, and defects from the Holden camp to join Will in the DJR/🐲Ford operation. Alex was not able to find a regular ride in the V8 series for 2006, however, and currently campaigns in the supporting Carrera Cup competition.

"Alex is a great pick-up for the team, he's had a season of V8 Supercar experience already and h✨e's doing a whole year of Carrera Cup, so he'll be race ready for us," John൲son said, "There's no question about his talent or his commitment - it runs in the family."

Davison will have his first test with DJR tomorrow [Thursday] at Queensland Racewa꧋y, and is l🐻ooking forward to the opportunity to get back into a V8.

"I can't wait to get back, and am very thankful to DJR for the chance," he said, "Last season was tough because of the environment I was in, but my experience with DJR has been totally different. It is an incredibly profession🐲al operation with tremendous resources, this is a great opportunity and I am going to make the most of it."

DJR has yet to finalise its line-up for the S♚andown 500 and Bathurst 1000, leaving Alex unsure whether he will share with team regulars Steve Johnson or brother Will, or another as-yet-to-be-named driver.

"If they know, ꦏthey haven't told me!" the 26-year old smiled when asked.
