Erebus Motorsport, formerly Stone Brothers, has announced Heavy Haulage Australia as the naming rights sponsor of one of its entries in the 2013 V8 Supercars championship.

Heavy Haulage will sponsor Tim Slade's car, replacing retailer Lucky7.

"This partnership with Erebus Motorsport, particularly with their move to Mercedes-Benz will provide us with massive national and international exposure and coincide with our recent entry into the Western Australia and Northern Territory markets," said Heavy Haulage Australia chief executive Jon Kelly.

"We are proud to be one of few logistics and transportation companies to support V8 Supercars and we are extremely excited to partner with Erebus at such an exciting time in the sport."

Erebus Motorsport, owned by Betty Klimenko, recently acquired Stone Brothers Racing and will compete in the V8 series this year using Mercedes technology.
