Dick Johnson Racing signs Scott Pye

By

Dick Johnson Racing has signed Scott Pye to drive the lead Ford Falcon of the team in the 2014 V8 Supercars.
“This is an unbelievable opportunity. To drive for Dick Johnson Racing is really quite amazing. I have watched how Chaz and Tim have brought the team on and for Dick to be supporting younger guys once again in his cars is really a great thing for V8 Supercars,” said Pye.

The 23-year-old, who won the 2010 Formula Ford UK title, replaces Chaz Mostert who is leaving for Ford Performance Racing.
“The young guys are the future for DJR and the sport. Scott is a good get for us. He is young, but already I can see why Roland has backed him. He has a very good attitude and I was impressed immediately by the questions he asked about the team and the differences in cars. He is the real deal,” said team owner Dick Johnson.

The second driver of Dick Johnson Racing is so far not confirmed, but the team has stated that an announcement will come soon.
