• Shane
Price
Garry and Warren Smith Holden are please to be sponsors
of V8 driver Shane Price.
One of the best-credentialed members of
the Holden Young Lions group in recent years, second generation
racer Shane Price was born with petrol in his blood. The
son of former touring car and now karting manufacturer Drew
Price, Price Jr naturally began his career in karting, proving
to be highly successful in each category he raced.
Moving into Formula Ford in 2004 in the Victorian
State Series, Price made the move to drive for the works Spectrum
team the following year in the national series, finishing runner-up
and Rookie of the Year. It was these performances that gave
him a berth with Perkins Motorsport in its first foray into
the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series in 2006.
As one of five drivers involved in the Holden
Young Lions program, Price quickly proved to be a dab-hand
at V8 Supercar racing, finishing on the podium in only his
third-ever race meeting.
Finishing second in the championship to the
highly experienced Adam Macrow was a brilliant performance
in a season where Price scored two poles, won two races finished
with five consecutive round runner-up results.
For 2007, Larry Perkins has given Price a
major responsibility and the youngster will line up in the
main series in the Jack Daniel's Racing VE Commodore. |
