Youlden has been Reynolds's co-driver in three Bathurst 1000s, highlighted by a victory in 2017 on Youlden's eighteenth attempt at the Great Race - the first win for both drivers at the mountain.
Experience is something Youlden boasts plenty of at Bathurst, with a total of 20 Bathurst 1000 starts to his name.
Youlden will race in the Porsche Carrera Cup this year, allowing him to stay race fit throughout the season.
"I'm really excited to be joining Dave and the team at Penrite Racing for Bathurst this year. It's an interesting and exciting time to be joining the team, there's obviously been a lot of change at Kelly Grove Racing which seems to be extremely positive and the team is really ambitious," he said.
"Winning Bathurst with Dave in 2017 was one of the highlights of my career, it's something that I'll never forget so obviously I'm really looking forward to giving it another crack this year after watching from the sidelines in 2020.
"Myself and Dave obviously have history, we know how each other work and I'm used to driving the car the way that Dave has it setup so I think we'll be able to gel together really well and hopefully have a strong result.
"We definitely have experience on our side, together we'll probably be one of the most experienced combinations that'll race at Bathurst which is cool."
