Garry Jacobson pulls covers off his first Holden Supercar

Garry Jacobson is one step closer to making his first Supercars start for Holden in this year’s championship after taking the covers off his Matt Stone Racing Commodore.

The 2016 Super2 champion has moved to the team after undertaking his debut Supercars season with Kelly Racing, finishing 23rd in the championship before the Melbourne team downsized to two cars, leaving Jacobson without a drive.

Having thrown Jacobson a lifeline, team boss Matt Stone says having Yellow Cover join the team as a major sponsor will help the squad grow and have continuity throughout 2020.

“To have a company such as Yellow Cover powered by NTI onboard and working with us on such a broad program is a big win for the team,” said Stone.

“This fantastic brand shows a lot of interest in Australian motorsport and really knows how to engage with the fans.

“(MSR) has always been about performance first, but we are also really trying to make an impression and step up our presentation and commercial programmes with our team partners,” he said.

“We’re really trying to make an impression presentation-wise by looking ‘a million bucks’ this season.

“For us it’s all about stability and growth, so to go into 2020 with a locked in naming rights partner is really good for the whole team.

“To lock in Yellow Cover and build this program with them is a great long-term view for us at MSR.”

Jacobson will be driving the #35 Holden Commodore alongside the sister #34 entry, to be shared by Zane Goddard and Jake Kostecki.
