In August 2022, DJR announced that The Ralph Family will become majority shareholders of Dick Johnson Racing as of January 2023, with the Family's interest being held through the Melbourne Aces Baseball Club, adding to the Aces expansive sporting portfolio.

Brett Ralph is the figurehead of the Ralph family’s endeavours working alongside brother Shaun, with business interests in the transport and sport sectors.

Dick Johnson and Executive Chairman Ryan Story both retain significant shareholdings in DJR, and maintain their day-to-day positions, overseeing operations of the Shell V-Power Racing Team as the new structure evolves.
