Dick Johnson Racing announces new CEO

Following David Noble’s departure from the position of Chief Executive Officer at Dick Johnson Racing (Shell V-Power Racing Team), his replacement has been revealed as Megan Foster.

With senior positions at Viva Energy (Shell’s licensee in Australia), Myer, Unilever, and most recently Bapcor (Autobarn, Autopro, Midas), Foster will bring extensive corporate experience to the role.

As she already knows many senior personnel at DJR, Foster described her appointment as a great fit.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Shell V-Power Racing Team and to soon be contributing to the amazing legacy this team has delivered within Australian motorsport since 1980 when Dick Johnson Racing was founded,” Foster said.

“To be working again with Dick, Brett, Shaun (Ralph) and Ryan (Story), along with the entire Shell V-Power Racing Team, is a real honour.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with some great organisations in my career, including Viva Energy. With the Shell brand being such a big part of the history at Dick Johnson Racing, the opportunity to re-join the DJR family, help drive the organisation forward and fight for championships is one I am really excited for.”

According to DJR, Foster’s experience across retail and high-profile brands will provide opportunities to further enhance the team’s already strong partner network and grow its commercial footprint through new revenue opportunities, while overseeing the performance of the race team alongside newly appointed Team Principal, Mark Fenning.

DJR founder and co-owner, Dick Johnson AM, welcomed Foster’s appointment.

“I’ve known Megan for many years and am over the moon to have her coming on board as our next CEO,” Johnson said.

“My mate Wayne Cattach was one of those who also made the move from the Viva Energy family to DJR, and he ended up in the Supercars Hall of Fame. We all know the calibre of people Viva recruits, so we know that Megan will get things done and lead our organisation to new heights and strong performances across all our departments.”

Foster will start with DJR on 2 February, with the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship kicking off on 20-22 February at Sydney Motorsport Park.
