Supercars team set to start global search as David Noble calls it quits as CEO
Dick Johnson Racing CEO David Noble will step down from his role at season's end, in a major leadership change at the Stapylton-based squad.
The former North Melbourne coach has spent three years at DJR, navigating one of the team's most challenging periods.
His tenure saw the team take three wins, transition to the Gen3 Supercars regulations and lose the Ford Homologation team role to Triple Eight.

Noble says the time is right to pursue new opportunities.
"I came into motorsport with a background in sport and football administration with a focus on high performance. It's been exciting adopting those principles and practices in the high-octane world of Supercars," he said.
"The time is right with the team wrapping up its homologation team and engine supplier responsibilities. We have positioned the team for sustainable success in the coming years, where DJR can look forward and simply focus on going racing."

Dick Johnson Racing Co-owner Brett Ralph says the team will launch a global search for a new CEO ahead of next season.
"David came in during a period of significant change and has left us in a far stronger position than when he arrived," he said.
"He's set the foundations for what comes next and we're incredibly grateful. He's accomplished a lot in that time and navigated us through some significant challenges, always with a view of the bigger picture. We wish him every success for what's next."
Noble isn't the only personnel change at DJR ahead of next season. On the driver front, veteran Will Davison will be replaced by Super2 series leader Rhylan Gray.
