The Bagman’s Say

Dick Johnson Racing Base: Yatla, Queensland Car: Ford Falcon FG Chassis: Triple Eight Race Engineering Engines: InnoV8 (Roger Higgins) Team principal: Dick Johnson

Dick Johnson Racing will head into its last event as a four-car outfit buoyed by the performance of James Moffat at Winton, where the Norton backed entry scored a season best result of fifth in Race 27 - leading more than half the race in the process. The car’s best pace relative to the field, however, was on the soft compound tyres, which will not be used this weekend. Currently separated by just 12 points and one position, Moffat and Owen will be fighting an intra-team battle to avoid being the lowest placed DJR entry in the championship standings.
