PremiAir retains David Russell for 2025 Enduro Cup campaign

PremiAir Racing has confirmed that James Golding will once again be partnered by David Russell for the two Enduro Cup events on the Supercars calendar next season.

Russell joined the team this season and helped the Chevrolet squad to secure a first podium finish as he and Golding took third spot in the Sandown 500.

They then followed it up with a top six finish at Bathurst, and the team has moved quickly to ensure that the relationship continued into 2025.

Bathurst will be joined by The Bend in the new Enduro Cup next year.

“It is fantastic to continue a great relationship with PremiAir Nulon Racing,” Russell said. “It was great working with Jimmy over the two enduros this year, and if we reflect back, there are some really nice results there, obviously with Sandown as a highlight.

“It is great to be able to have the continuity, that is important when you are going into enduro racing, to be able to continue to work with the same driver and the same team and continue to help evolve things and improve things so hopefully we can go for those enduro races and give ourselves a chance to move further up the podium from where we were at Sandown.”

Golding, who finished seventh in this year’s championship, said he was excited to keep Russell alongside him.

“I really enjoyed partnering with D-Russ in the 2024 endurance races,” he said. “He did a fantastic job, so to have him back for 2025 was a no-brainer.

“Dave seamlessly joined our team and worked beyond his role as a driver to help improve our team’s performance on multiple levels.

“He is a great character to have around for team morale, and that is an important part of continuing our growth as we head into 2025.”
