Race day
Bathurst saved the best for last. After a weekend of chasing small problems with the car, Jack Westbury and the Jack Westbury Racing crew had the #29 sorted for Sunday, and Jack finished Race 4 inside the top five.
"Race 4 for us was a lot better than the previous ones this weekend. The car was an absolute jet. We ended up figuring out the little problems we had with it."

For a 19 year old on his first visit to the mountain, ending the weekend with his strongest race was the result the team had been working towards since Thursday. Jack was quick to share the credit:
"It was really good to repay the team and the sponsors for all the hard work they put in over the weekend."
How the weekend went
Jack arrived at Mount Panorama as the leading rookie in the 2026 Tyrepower V8 SuperUtes field, with Uniden Voice Over Cloud on the doors as a round sponsor alongside Smart Comfort by Synergy. Four races over three days on the 6.213 kilometre circuit.
Friday was tough. Race 2 was chaos for the whole field: a multi-car crash on the run to The Cutting at the start damaged several Utes and cut the race to a one-lap dash. The crew kept working on the car through Saturday, and by Sunday it was right.
With the fans
Between sessions Jack signed Jack Westbury Racing posters of the #29 at the SuperUtes autograph sessions. Plenty of young fans went home with one.
Thank you, JWR
Before the weekend Jack told us that without our support he didn't think he'd be on the grid. On Sunday he said it again:
"Massive thank you once again to Uniden and Smart Comfort by Synergy. I wouldn't be able to make it here this weekend without them, and it was really good to give them a good performance there in the last race."
The thanks go both ways. To Jack, Emily and the whole team at Jack Westbury Racing: you put our colours on the biggest stage in Australian motorsport, and when Friday went wrong you had the Ute fixed and fast by Sunday. We're proud to have our name on the doors.
