Richie Stanaway is a racing car driver from New Zealand who made his Supercars debut for Super Black Racing in 2016, co-driving with Chris Pither in the Pirtek Enduro Cup series. He impressed on debut in Sandown, fighting his way from a pit-stop down up to 3rd with slick tyres on a damp track. In 2017, he competed in the Sydney round of the Super2 Series, winning the final race. In 2019, he moved to Garry Rogers Motorsport after a poor season in 2018. He aggravated a previous neck injury and missed seven races, making a return at The Bend SuperSprint. At the Gold Coast 600, he was stood down for missing an autograph signing but reinstated at the next round at Sandown. After a difficult two years in Supercars, Stanaway retired from the sport in November 2019.

However, in August 2023, it was announced that Stanaway would rejoin the full-time Supercars grid next year after signing with Grove Racing, replacing David Reynolds. In October 2023, he achieved a lifetime dream by winning the Bathurst 1000.
