Bargs and Seton Team Up

Kelly Racing has confirmed that endurance driver Glenn Seton will be paired with Jason Bargwanna in the Rock Holden Commodore at Phillip Island and Bathurst.

Seton was confirmed as a co-driver at Kelly Racing in May and is looking forward to returning to Bathurst after a year out

“Last year was the first year that I've sat at home and watched it on TV for a lot of years, probably 30 or 40 years, because I used to go there every year, even with my dad when he was racing back in the 60s and 70s,” he said.

“So it was my first opportunity to watch it on TV and I didn't like where I was watching it from! “I haven't really finished my goals at Bathurst. I've got close to winning it but I've never won it and this year I'd like to have the opportunity to hopefully finish on the podium and win it with Jason in the Rock Commodore.

“Now that the full-time drivers are split it probably gives 12 cars the opportunity to win that event and I think that we are a part of those 12 cars. There is no doubt about that.

“I'm looking forward to the challenge and I know Jason is looking forward to the challenge. We are going there to win.”

Bargwanna is keen to repeat his run last season which saw him battle for a podium with Tasman Motorsport.

“Obviously this year, with not being able to pair up your number one drivers, it’s going to make the race very interesting,” said Bargwanna. “Last year I had Mark Noske in my car and we were fighting for a podium position. “I think this year with Glenn with me in the Rock car, there is no doubt that with the experience we have between us, we are in with a good shot.”

Seton and Bargwanna have a combined total of 39 Bathurst 1000 starts, which is equal with the TeamVodafone pairing of Craig Lowndes and Mark Skaife.
