Bendix and Dave Casey Saddle Up for the Haltech 2023 V8 SuperUte Series

After last year’s exceptional debut season, Bendix will continue to partner with Dave Casey into 2023 as part of their entry into the V8 SuperUte Series.

Entering the world of motorsport in 2009, Dave Casey and SWL Racing focused mainly on off-road racing and Stadium Super Trucks. However, with Stadium Super Trucks having left Australia at the beginning of 2022, Dave Casey and SWL Racing turned to the SuperUtes category. The V8 SuperUte Series debuted in 2018 in an effort to create a more market-relevant racing series. After finishing their 2022 debut season strong in 6th, Dave and the team look towards this year’s season.

“The 2022 season was great, finishing off strong at the Gold Coast. And completing the championship in 6th for our rookie year sure was a good feeling.” said Casey. “Now we enter the 2023 season looking to capitalise on last year, take everything we have learnt and put it to fruition this year."

SuperUtes underwent an enormous change in regulations in 2021 with the field of utes switching to 6.2L V8 engines in favour of the turbo-diesel engines used previously. After debuting the first iteration of the Bendix Racing Dmax SuperUte in 2022, Dave Casey will be piloting an updated version of the Dmax for this season based on the current model.

“We have a brand-new Dmax SuperUte, which is superbly built by Sieders Racing - The same crew of Leigh, Brandon, and myself, so it’s looking like it should be a good year for Bendix Racing.” said Casey.

"Bendix is proud to continue supporting Dave Casey and SWL Racing for the 2023 series as they continue their endeavours in the SuperUtes category." said George Kyriakopoulos, General Manager of Bendix.

The first round of the 2023 V8 SuperUtes Series will kick away on the weekend of April 28^th when Dave and the team head to WA for the 2023 Perth SuperSprint at Wanneroo Raceway.
