DICK JOHNSON RACING FORD MUSTANG
#11 ANTON DE PASQUALE
#17 WILL DAVISON
There’s been big changes for Dick Johnson Racing as well as the switch to the new Mustang with Brett Ralph and his family joining the ownership structure and David Noble appointed the team’s CEO at the end of 2022. While Ford’s homologation team features some new faces off track, there’s continuity on the racing side with Anton De Pasquale and Will Davison behind the wheel, engineered yet again by Ludo Lacroix and Richard Harris respectively, and Shell continuing as the naming-rights sponsor of both entries.
Both drivers have won multiple races for the team in recent seasons, often mixing it at the front of the field. However, they will be hoping for a championship challenge after losing ground to Triple Eight Race Engineering and finishing behind Tickford Racing and Walkinshaw Andretti United entrants in the standings last season.
