The Tomago Aluminium design draftsman and mad motor sports fan won a national Battery World competition to join the McGill Motorsport's pit crew team at Bathurst next weekend.

Mr Hogg may be a self-confessed Ford fan but said he was thrilled at the prospect of spending time with V8 Supercar driver Aaron McGill - in his Holden.

"Since I was a kid I used to knock around with my uncle George Hogg who is now 87 and was a motor mechanic, so I have always loved being around cars," Mr Hogg said.

"I remember watching Bathurst in the '70s on my dad's black and white TV yet I have never made it to a race - so winning this is just unreal.

"My friends are really jealous because I am taking my wife Magdalina and we get to eat with the team, have access to the pits, and even a crew uniform."

McGill chalked up his 150th race start at Ipswich's Coates Hire 400 last month.

He holds the record for the most race starts in the V8 Development V8 Supercar series; he only missed six V8 races in 10 years.

His small team keeps the tyres turning solely through sponsorship from the likes of Battery World

"Achieving 150 starts was really something, no one will get within a bull's roar of that," McGill said

"We may not always win but there is plenty in that motto - you have got to be in it to win it.

"This will probably be my last Bathurst so I am going to give it all I have got and then some more."
