Steve Owen to take over Autobarn Commodore for 2006 V8 Supercar Series
THE final seat in a Holden for this year’s V8 Supercar Championship Series has been filled by the signing of Steve Owen to drive for Rod Nash Racing’s Autobarn-sponsored team.
Owen, 31, will drive the #55 Autobarn Racing Commodore VZ for the full 13-round championship under a Level 1 franchise purchased by team owner Nash at the end of last season.
The team has secured a Commodore from Paul Morris Motorsports, which was used by Morris in the 2003/2004 V8 Supercar seasons before reverting to being the team’s spare car in 2005.
Rod Nash Racing will again operate under the Autobarn Racing banner and the team will be run by former Gibson Motorsport team manager Marty Brant, based at the Independent Race Cars workshop in the Melbourne suburb of Hallam.
IRC has previously been involved with running cars in the V8 Supercar Development Series, winning the title with Paul Dumbrell in 2002.
