Reindler’s entry will be backed by Fair Dinkum Sheds, the third consecutive year that the West Australian young gun will be backed by Australia’s leading supplier of garages and sheds.

Reindler will embark on his third season in the top level of V8 Supercars in 2012.

“I’m very excited about my move to Kelly Racing,” he said.

“I had some time in the Kelly Racing workshop in January to run through plans for this season and to meet all of the crew and there is a really great atmosphere within the place.

“The facility is just incredible and the fact that they are building more to bring it all under one roof just adds to that and makes it a great showcase for the sport.

“It’s the best facility that I’ve seen in the country.

“To have four cars in the one team to collect and compare a lot of data is great for me as I look to improve and take my driving to the next level.”

Reindler completes Kelly Racing’s driver line-up for the 2012 V8 Supercars Championship, joining Todd and Rick Kelly (Jack Daniel’s Racing) and Greg Murphy (Pepsi Max Crew) in the four-car outfit.

“We are very excited to have Karl join Kelly Racing for 2012,” Rick Kelly said.

“Karl is a great young guy with a lot of talent and as a team we are going to work hard with him to unlock that potential with the aim of having him finish in the top 10 on a regular basis.

“Karl fits very well with the future plans of our team and it’s refreshing to see that he is just as excited about our new relationship as everyone here at Kelly Racing is, including Todd and myself.”

The 2012 V8 Supercars Championship kicks off with an official pre-season test day at Sandown International Raceway in Melbourne today.
