Lee Holdsworth makes the big jump across to Ford and Stone Brothers Racing for 2012 after a seven-year association with Garry Rogers Motorsport in Melbourne.

A graduate of the one-make Commodore Cup series, Holdsworth had a stint in the Dunlop V8 Supercars Series in 2004 and competed in the odd round in 2005.

He was signed by Garry Rogers Motorsport to contest the endurance events in the main series in 2005 before being invited back at Philip Island’s season finale to drive the second car.

Having scored the gig on a full-time basis, Holdsworth lined up alongside Dean Canto for 2006, with a sixth place at Oran Park the sign of things to come.

Using the established VZ Commodore in early 2007 helped Holdsworth prove himself and he qualified in the top 10 on plenty of occasions ahead of some more established names.

Debuting a new VE Commodore at Queensland Raceway, Holdsworth broke through for his maiden win at Oran Park in the Jim Beam 400 and returned in 2008 armed with Walkinshaw Racing engines.

A second place in the opening event at Adelaide was an obvious highlight, as the Melbourne-based racer narrowly missed a top 10 finish in the championship.

In 2009 he scored another podium finish in the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide and also celebrated his first V8 Supercar pole position in Townsville as well as a podium result in the Supercheap

Auto Bathurst 1000 alongside Michael Caruso.

Holdsworth scored a career-best seventh place in the 2010 championship and made the decision last year to move on from the Fujitsu-backed Holden team and ply his trade elsewhere,

finding a home at Stone Brothers Racing.

Holdsworth replaces Alex Davison in the #4 IRWIN Tools Falcon and moved to the Gold Coast in the off-season to prepare for the new season.

He worked with new engineer Brad Wischusen during his time at Garry Rogers Motorsport.
