Supercars co-driver market heats up as teams line up deals

Several Supercars teams are expected to announce driver deals over the coming weeks, with Dick Johnson Racing the focus after Tony D'Alberto left its line-up following 11 years with the squad.

Nash Morris, who drove for PremiAir Racing in the last two Enduro Cup campaigns, is being heavily linked to the vacant seat alongside Rylan Gray. Morris is reportedly rated highly by the team and is a close friend of team leader Brodie Kostecki, who already has Todd Hazelwood locked in. PremiAir is tipped to sign Nathan Herne, the triple Trans Am champion who made his Bathurst 1000 debut this year.

Stability is expected among several front-running teams. Triple Eight's Nick Percat and Scott Pye are on multi-year deals, while Grove Racing will retain Will Davison and Tim Slade. Team 18 is expected to exercise its option on Lee Holdsworth, though its full-time line-up is not yet confirmed.
