Kyneton’s Brad Vereker will join Western Sydney Motorsport for the 2025 Tyrepower V8 SuperUte Series launching this weekend.
Vereker made his Tyrepower V8 SuperUtes debut at Darwin last year and is keen to take on the series with experience behind him.
“After doing two rounds last year to get a taste of the series, it’s great to be able to lock in a deal this year with Western Sydney Motorsport who are a great team with results on the board,” he told the Express.
“It’s a big step from the Australian Excel series, which I have been running in, not only financially, but it comes with a lot of pressure to perform on a big stage. So, I have been doing my homework and a lot of work behind the scenes to get myself ready for the year ahead.
“My aim is to be consistently in the top 10 with the goal to get some top fives, especially towards the end of the year after getting more seat time.”
Vereker comes from a family that has enjoyed racing since the 80s but in the past four years it has really really taken centre stage for him.
He enjoys the competition, close hard racing, as well as everything that gets done leading up to a race weekend.
Along the way, Vereker has had the support of national businesses like Lavistone and Road Trains of Australia, and also local businesses like Vereker Bros Smash repairs, Boyers Excavations, Prendergast Earthmoving, AGI windows, VSTONE Bendigo, Kyneton Tyrepower, Kuppers Contracting, M.E Auctions and Rick Egan Building.
“I would like to thank them for their support over the years to allow me to get to where I am now,” Vereker said.
There are still plenty of options available for sponsorship if anyone would like to be involved.
People can join the Ringers Western Cooka Club to support Vereker on his journey through personal or business membership packages with plenty of perks such as a name or business logo on the V8 SuperUte that travels across Australia. There is also merchandise including a custom Ringers Western t-shirt and barbecues to bring everyone together. For more information, or to sign up, call Brad on 0447 920 155.
