Hazelwood's Double Duty

Hazelwood's Double Duty

Todd Hazelwood’s position is unique in combining his driving duties with being Matt Stone Racing’s (MSR) commercial manager. Essentially, he finds the budget with which he goes racing

He reports to Matt Stone, who owns and runs the team, and to Jason Gomersall, who has been a primary backer and supporter of MSR for four years.

Hazelwood has raced a Gomersall-owned Commodore for the last wo years in Super2, while Gomersall himself races a Torana in Touring Car Masters built and run by MSR. Hazelwood even lives with Gomersall. He is also an investor in naming-rights sponsor Bigmate, a tracking solutions company.

The other key background financial player in the 2018 mix is South Australian motorsport patron James Rosenberg, who has bought the ex-DJR Team Penske Ford FG X Falcon Hazelwood will race.

“Trying to set up a big program like this can’t just come from one person, it has to come from multiple people,” says Hazelwood.

“You don’t want some multimillionaire just throwing money around, you want good people in your corner.
