Aug. 13 NASCAR Cup race on the road course will now feature two Australian Supercar drivers.
The last time Shane van Gisbergen raced in the NASCAR Cup Series, he schooled the Cup regulars in winning the Grant Park 220 on the streets of Chicago on July 2.
Brodie Kostecki has signed on to race for Richard Childress Racing. Kostecki is currently second in the Supercars standings, while van Gisbergen is fourth.“I never dreamed this could have all rolled out this way,” said van Gisbergen who returned to Supercar competition in Australia days after leading nine laps and winning by 1.259 seconds in overtime at Chicago.
Van Gisbergen became one of six foreign born drivers to win a Cup Series race and the first driver since Johnny Rutherford in 1963 to win his first Cup Series start. It was just the latest entry in a resume that includes Supercars Championships for Triple Eight Race Engineering in 2016, 2021 and 2022 plus 78 wins and 47 pole positions making him the fourth most successful driver in series history. He also won the Bathurst 1000 in 2020 and 2022.
