PODCAST: Fullwood’s Supercars future still up in the air

As Bryce Fullwood approaches the end of his current contract with Brad Jones Racing, he says he remains uncertain about his future.

“I’ll tell you straight – I’ve got no idea,” he told Supercars Travel Race for the Championship podcast, when asked whether he would still be with BJR in 2026.

He is still in discussions with BJR, and a potential continuation with the team could see him behind the wheel of a Toyota in 2026 as the Japanese giant joins the category.

“Whether I’m in a Toyota or not, I think it’s exciting for the sport,” he says.

He admits he needs results to secure a potential Toyota seat with BJR, but he’s not pinning all of his hopes on retaining the BJR drive.

“It’s that time of year… everyone’s talking to everyone,” Fullwood says.

 “I’m sure Brad’s talking to plenty of people. I’m talking to plenty of people.”

He describes the 2025 Supercars season as one of the most competitive he’s experienced, calling it “the most challenging” since he entered the series. Now in his sixth year at the top level, Fullwood finds himself in the thick of a hotly contested championship fight, with the top 10 “a revolving door” due to the intense competition.

Fullwood, who is currently 14th on the Series table, is hoping good results at Queensland Raceway, The Bend and Bathurst – where he will co-drive with Brad Vaughan – will see him make the top 10 and stay in the title chase as the Championship heads into its ‘Finals’ stage. He is 132 points outside the top 10 at the moment.

Fullwood’s rise from Darwin karting kid to Supercars driver was anything but traditional. Initially discouraged from motocross by his mum, he took up karting and eventually won nearly every state title, along with an Australian championship, before racing overseas.

“We came third in Las Vegas, flying over with an engine in our suitcase,” he laughs.

He bypassed the traditional Formula Ford path, instead jumping straight into Super2 at just 16.

“(That was) super scary now that I think about it,” he says.

His eventual progression to the main game was built on perseverance, standout performances, and a belief that he should succeed “because I was good enough, not because I didn’t get the opportunity.”

Reflecting on his time in the category, Fullwood says the racing has never been better.

“The competition’s fierce. Even back-to-back qualifying sessions can produce different results,” he explains.

“You actually get to race a bit more now, without being so scared of penalties.”

He remains focused on pushing toward more consistent podiums.

“I’ve not been that pleased with our performance in Supercars to date,” he admits.

“But I feel like we’re starting to get somewhere.”

Still proudly flying the colours of long-time sponsor Middy’s, Fullwood credits the family-owned business for their enduring belief in him.

“They’ve backed me when I didn’t believe in myself,” he says.

Whatever 2026 holds, Fullwood is determined to make his mark in the sport he never thought he’d be part of – but now can’t imagine leaving.
