Kmart Racing has settled its driver line-up for the annual V8 Supercar endurance races with confirmation that experienced V8 c🐻ampaigner Cameron McLean and European Touring Car Championship star Andy Priaulx have signed with the team.

McLean and Priaulx will drive the second Kmart Racing Commodore in the Betta Electrical Melbourne 500 at Sandown and the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 at Bathurst alongside regular drivers Greg Murp💛hy and Rick Kelly.

Kmart Racing team managꦅer Rob Crawford said sec𝕴uring the signatures of McLean and Priaulx was a boost for the team.

"Our goal has always been to field two competitive cars during the endurance races and having drivers the quality of Cameron and Andy joining Greg and Rick means we can again achieve that," Crawford sa🌟id.

Priaulx, who is currently contesting the ETCC for BMW Team Great Britain, returns to Kmart Racing after having made a stunning V8 Supercar debut with t🧸he team during last year's enduros - the 28-year-old qualifying an outstanding ninth for the Queensland 500 in his first ever V8 Supercar drive.

"A𒁏ndy's performan༺ce with Kmart Racing last year opened many people's eyes to what a great talent he is and, thankfully, he was very keen to come back and drive for us again," Crawford said.

While McLean has sat on the V8 Supercar sidelines this season following the sale of his team at the end of 2002, Crawford said he eagerly sou🐼gh꧙t his services when McLean became available.

"Cameron's ꧙record speaks for itself; a privateer's championship (1999) and fourth at Bathurst on three occasions show that he's fast, consistent and level-headed - just the driver we wanted. We are pleased Cameron haꦓs agreed to join our team," he said.

The Betta Electrical Melbourne 500 takes place at Sandown on Septembe꧟r 12-14, while the Bob Jane T-Marts 1000 will be run at Mount Panorama, Bathurst on October 9-12.
