After completing the 3 sprint races in Perth over the weekend, Steve Johnson jumps up to 5th on the championship table, making him the highest placed Ford driver in the series after the first two rounds.
Will Davison also showed his colours, finishing right behind his team mate in 5th position, making him the second highest placed Ford for the round.Will now joins Steve inside the top 10 in the Championship. He has surged from 14th place up to 9th and is showing the pace to keep moving up the ladder.With both Jim Beam Racing Ford Falcons delivering the goods over the weekend, Team owner Dick Johnson said, “We are confident that there are better results to come from both boys this season, but one driver in the top 5 and the other in the top 10 is exactly where we want to be this season. There are still a few of those red cars that need chasing down, but being the top 2 Fords for the weekend is certainly a good sign for the future”.
While discussing the team’s outlook, Dick added, “The whole team deserves the results from Perth. Even our pit stops have improved; I believe we posted the quickest pit stop in race 2. So we are all going to keep working together to go faster and finish higher as the season progresses. With Steve as the top Ford driver right now, and Jim Beam Racing as the top Ford team, it is such a great feeling to be leading the charge for the ‘Blue side’ again”.
As the Team Championship heats up, Jim Beam Racing clenched a well earned second place for the round, finishing only behind the Toll HSV Team. With both drivers banking some solid points, Jim Beam Racing made the leap up to third place in the 2007 Team Championship.Steve, Will and the entire Jim Beam Racing outfit are charged and ready to take on the challenging Pukekohe circuit in just over three weeks, starting 19th April.
