Walkinshaw Andretti United to field a third entry for Jayden Ojeda at Winton and Darwin.

10 May 2022

Jayden Ojeda will make his solo Supercars debut in a Walkinshaw Andretti United wildcard entry.

Ojeda, who finished third in the 2021 Dunlop Series, will race a Holden ZB Commodore at Winton and Darwin.

It’s the third wildcard entrant confirmed for the upcoming events, joining Image Racing’s Jordan Boys (Winton and Tailem Bend) and Tickford Racing’s Zak Best (Darwin and Tailem Bend).

Ojeda raced in the main game as an endurance co-driver at Bathurst with Garry Rogers Motorsport in 2020 and Matt Stone Racing in 2021.

“I’m really excited to be joining Walkinshaw Andretti United this year,” said Ojeda.

“It’s an incredible opportunity, and it will be awesome to be back behind the wheel again.

“In addition, it will be great to join both Nick [Percat[ and Chaz [Mostert] and learn from two super experienced drivers.”

Walkinshaw Andretti United fielded a wildcard entry for Kurt Kostecki in 2021.

“It’s fantastic to have Jayden with us for two rounds as a wildcard,” said team principal Bruce Stewart.

“We all can’t wait to see him make his main game debut and show what he is capable of.

“There’s no doubt he is a great young talent of the sport. Giving guys like him the opportunity to showcase their skills in the main game is not only pleasing for us as a team, but also crucial for the sport.

“We are excited to see what Jayden can do with us, which will hopefully progress his career at the same time.

“It will be great to have him alongside Chaz and Nick, all starting next weekend.”
