He will again be the co-driver for Triple Eight's Shane van Gisbergen, the pair finishing up on the second step of the podium at last year's event.
They of course want to go one better, but importantly want to give Holden one last win before it withdraws support from Supercars and the Australian market.

Tander said it's "very special" to be part of the factory team this year in particular.
"For me personally, my entire Supercars career has been driving the Holden product, so to be in one of the factory cars at their last official Bathurst is very special and hopefully we can have some success this weekend to say thank you to Holden and their fans," he said.
Tander and van Gisbergen are considered a formidable pairing.
Tander won in 2000, 2009 and 2011, while van Gisbergen has been second twice.
