Motorsport has always been part of Macauley Jones’ life, but following in the footsteps of his famous family was never going to be enough.

The son of two-time Australian Super Touring champion Brad Jones, Macauley has spent more than a decade forging his own path through the sport – from junior karting to Formula Ford, Super2 and ultimately through to the Supercars Championship.

The Albury native grew up around racing, with his father Brad and cousin Andrew also a former Supercars full-timer, but Jones carved his own path through the sport, winning the 2011 South Australian Rotax Light title and three state junior karting championships before stepping into Formula Ford.

His 2012 Australian Formula Ford Championship campaign earned him Rookie of the Year honours, while he finished fourth in the championship the following season.

He also gained international experience in New Zealand’s Toyota Racing Series before moving into the Dunlop Super2 Series with Brad Jones Racing in 2014.

Jones quickly established himself as a driver to watch, scoring a top-10 finish on his Super2 debut in Townsville before making his Pirtek Enduro Cup debut with BJR alongside Dale Wood in 2015.

His Super2 breakthrough came at Mount Panorama in 2017, when he claimed a memorable Bathurst victory.

He came agonisingly close to going back-to-back the following year, only to lose the lead after a last-lap clash with Garry Jacobson.

After several seasons of endurance racing and a number of wildcard appearances, Jones earned his full-time Supercars opportunity in 2019, taking over the CoolDrive Racing entry.

He finished 21st in his rookie campaign before improving to 19th in 2020.

When Tim Blanchard moved on to establish his own team, Jones became fully embedded within the BJR operation, taking the wheel of the #96 entry.

His 2025 campaign represented a significant step forward, with three top-10 qualifying performances and career-best race results.

His standout weekend came in Tasmania, where he qualified fourth and fought for victory in the second race before finishing fifth, another career-best result.

Away from the circuit, Jones is one of Supercars’ more distinctive characters.

A qualified mechanic who completed his apprenticeship at BJR, he has retained a strong connection to the technical side of racing.

He is also an accomplished endurance athlete, having completed 870 chest-to-ground burpees in an hour in 2019 in an attempt to set a world record.

He has also tackled the gruelling KosciMiler 100-mile trail race, finishing fourth on his debut.

Now in his eighth full-time Supercars season, Jones continues to chase the consistency that can turn flashes of speed into regular results.

He currently sits 22nd in the 2026 championship with 648 points for BJR.

With his experience, technical knowledge and proven ability to produce standout performances, Jones remains determined to show that his place in Supercars has been earned on his own terms.
