The 37-year-old Fiore comes to the team with a vast amount of experience and Hazelwood is excited to share the Brad Jones Racing Supercar with the talented West Australian.

"I'm really pumped to have Dean Fiore join me and the team at this year's Bathurst 1000," Hazelwood said.

"Dean has a huge amount of knowledge and experience in the Supercars Championship and I think we'll make a really strong combination for the great race.

"2021 is my best opportunity yet at the Mountain and I'm really excited to see what we can achieve together."

Fiore has competed in 90 Supercar rounds and 172 races, which includes 12 Bathurst 1000 starts, debuting at Mount Panorama back in 2009.

"I'm very excited to be teaming up with Todd and BJR," Fiore said.

"I've been watching the races and keeping up with Todd's progress, a lot of people in motorsport speak very highly of Todd.

"I like working with people that have a good reputation in the sport.

"I'm keen to build on our relationship throughout the year and can't wait for Bathurst. Hopefully it's a successful one for us.

"Brad was one of the first people I met at the beginning of my motorsport journey. He employed me as an instructor when he ran the Audi Driver Experience."

Hazelwood and Fiore will work closely together in the lead up to the great race on Sunday October 10th. Stay tuned for Car #14 Bathurst livery.
