Goddard & J. Kostecki to share the second Matt Stone Racing entry.
Heimgartner's livery. They've actually managed to make the Mustang look alright:

Holden is unsurprisingly killing off the Commodore road car and indeed their sedan/hatchback line in general. They recently committed to supporting the series until the end of 2021 which is supposed to be the last year for the current regulations. Beyond that, who knows. Holden is going to be selling the new Corvette so they could run that if the rules changed, or maybe the Camaro (but that's only being imported to Australia by a third party atm). Otherwise it doesn't look very good for the series unless they can get some new manufacturers in or keep GM in the series through non-factory supported efforts. https://www.speedcafe.com/2019/12/10/commodore-supercar-to-continue-through-to-2021-amid-axing/ |

If they stay, my bet is that Holden will use whatever GM runs in NASCAR when the new 2021/2022 car comes around, given all of the tie ups lately between VASC and NASCAR. The same question is going around on what could be used in NASCAR for 2021+ (or) after 2023. GM apparently stopped all of the development work on the 7th generation Camaro, so either they will continue with the 6th, or the nameplate will be no more after 2022/23. Some rumors have even suggested GM moving the Corvette nameplate away from Chevrolet & making it a standalone brand (like what Dodge did with RAM Trucks and the Viper) with other SUV, sedan and high luxury models under the name plate. |

Any bets on how soon till all touring and stock car series inevitably start running compact crossovers? |

James Golding is unfortunately out of a main game drive. He will be driving with Winterbottom in the enduros. Tom Randle has surprisingly left Tickford and moved over to Matt White's team in Super2 where he will drive Bryce Fullwood's championship winning car from 2019. I presume that means he will be elsewhere in the enduros. Broc Feeney (the winner of Super3 this year) is going to be replacing Randle in the Tickford Super2 car. |
