Brad Jones Racing has announced it will be switching engine suppliers in 2018.

The team will swap itsย Noonan Race Engines, which is has used for eight years, forย V8 engines supplied by KRE Race Engines.

โ€œThere are plenty of changes happening for BJR in 2018, we'll be rolling out the new ZB Commodore and are pretty excited to have KRE supplying the power plants for them,โ€ team owner Brad Jones said.

โ€œKenny and the team have a highly-regarded reputation for their engines and we're excited to have KRE Race Engines powering us into the new season.

โ€œWe're ready to close the door on what has been a really difficult 2017, and with a few new things coming in 2018, we're looking forward to getting the new season underway and getting back to where we should be as a team.

โ€œSome of our engineers visited the KRE Workshop recently and were very impressed by the facilities there. It was great for them to meet the team and see the work they were doing first hand.

โ€œNoonan Race Engines have played a great role in our team over the last eight years. As they grow further in the US market and continue their strong success in the Drag Racing industry we'd like to thank Jamie, Renee, Dave and the team for their tremendous support over the years.โ€

KRE currently supply the engines forย Tekno Autosports, Team 18 and Triple Eight Racing.
