DJR Team - Pit crew updates

The DJR team gets a boost from the Pit lane with Esteemed top gun engineer Campbell Little, released from his FPR: Ford Performance Racing contract late last year, Little is heading-up the tool kit, all the toys for DJR.
Campbell's appointment at DJR is the ideal way for both teams( FPR and DJR) to work even closer and get a head start, ensuring all Fords on the 2014 V8 Supercars grid are as competitive as possible.

Team boss Dick Johnson said Little was without doubt the man for the job, and convincing Campbell – it's taken a long time to convince him – but he's up for it and as far as I'm concerned, as far as experience goes, he's the most experienced in the pit lane," Johnson said.
"Campbell has been around a long time, so he's obviously the best choice for us and certainly for the team. We're now starting to find our feet – it's been a really tough year right up until now but we're starting to move in the right direction – it won't happen overnight, but DJR can become one of Australia`s great racing teams again.

Mr Brian Boyd said he was pleased that Wall had signed with DJR.
"I think with David and the strong team around him the team has a good chance to perform well this year."
