A Sunbury man is speeding towards success in the world of motorsport.
Travis Jones partnered with former V8 Supercar racer Adam Macrow last month to win the flag in a 40-lap endurance race at Phillip Island.
The first place finish is a step up from his first race in this year’s Victorian Hyundai Excel Racing series, in which he qualified in fifth place.
Jones said the victory was “brilliant”.
He’s eagerly preparing for the series’ final meetings, to be raced in October and December.
Jones started racing go-karts as a hobby in 1997. He has progressed through the racing scene to superkarts and now cars.
He wants to take his racing career to an even higher level.
“My dream is to race at Bathurst – in any car race,” he said.
The Sunbury resident of 29 years is backed by several local businesses, including Sunbury Collision Centre, Sacco Coffee and Relysh Bistro.
He said having the support from the local community was a big help.
He is hoping more sponsors will come on board to help make his Bathurst dream a reality. Details: 0412 112 384
