JAX Tyres & Auto is delighted to announce its decision to join Willowbank Raceway as the 2023 SUPER THUNDER Naming Rights sponsor, expanding on its current commitment to Willowbank Raceway, while eyeing up motor sport fans for potential new jobs with the tyre and service specialists. 

The JAX Tyres & Auto SUPER THUNDER will take place at Willowbank Raceway 14th & 15th April 2023, featuring the ground-pounding excitement machines that are Top Fuel Funny Cars, backed up by the always exciting Pro Alcohol and Pro Slammer professional brackets, and complimented by a full suite of Sportsman Brackets.  The event will take place over Friday and Saturday, ensuring spectators get the best look at racing each day. 

With no better place than trackside to find the next wave of JAX Tyres & Auto superstar team members, JAX’s People & Culture team will be down at Willowbank Raceway for the whole weekend, taking resumes and talking to car enthusiasts about what they could bring to the JAX family. 

Roles up for grabs will include positions as Apprentice Mechanics, Tyre Technicians, Wheel Alignment Technicians, Mechanics, Salespeople, Store Managers, and Franchisees. Any SUPER THUNDER spectator who leaves their details in connection with one of the jobs on offer and interviews in store will automatically receive $100 of store credit. 

Sharlyn Cavinta, Executive Manager – People & Culture, with JAX Tyres & Auto says: “To be the best tyre and service specialists in Queensland, we need the best people in Queensland.  

“Being the best doesn’t always mean having a CV as long as your arm. Instead, we’re interested in speaking to people who have a real passion for customer service - and of course an interest in cars.  

“If that sounds like you, we’d love to see you down at Willowbank for Super Thunder, and who knows, someday soon we could be welcoming you into the JAX ecosystem.” 

Selected JAX Tyres & Auto stores in Queensland will also be promoting the event with an in-store competition where JAX customers can win a chance to ride to the track in the JAX Camaro. 

Ashlie Agius, Brand & Marketing Manager of JAX Tyres & Auto, says: “JAX Tyres & Auto are excited to sponsor the Super Thunder event, as well as giving our Queensland customers the chance to win this awesome experience. We’re keen to showcase JAX at our information marquee where spectators can access our amazing deals on tyres and vehicle servicing, as well as finding out more about working at JAX - or even owning a store!” 

Tony Wedlock, Chairman of 400 Thunder and Willowbank Raceway adds: "I would like to welcome JAX Tyres & Auto as the naming rights sponsor for the SUPER THUNDER event.  We are looking forward to creating a great weekend of entertainment with JAX on board. Having new sponsors join 400 Thunder and Willowbank Raceway is always extremely exciting and delivers our sport to a new group of consumers, through the JAX Tyres & Auto brand and marketing".
