Kostecki will become the second Supercars driver to make a NASCAR cameo this year following Shane van Gisbergen’s sensational debut victory in Chicago earlier this month.
Kostecki and van Gisbergen will both participate in the Indy road course race. Van Gisbergen will be racing for Trackhouse Racing for the second time, while Kostecki will make his debut driving an additional RCR Camaro.
The major backing for the Kostecki car is coming from Peter Adderton’s MobileX company.
Supercars will also contribute to financing the ride by displaying noticeable signs advertising its global SuperView streaming service.
The move comes amid an upswing in interest from US viewers in Supercars following the van Gisbergen debut.
Supercars CEO Shane Howard expressed his enthusiasm for supporting Brodie and his team as they make their NASCAR debut alongside the SuperView advertisement.
Shane van Gisbergen’s impressive win earlier this month garnered worldwide attention, resulting in over 14,000 expressions of interest in SuperView within a few days.
We received over two million views on our website for our Townsville event one week later, and there were 3.3 million minutes of YouTube videos watched during the same time frame.
“We have a great chance to showcase the outstanding streaming excellence and extensive coverage provided by SuperView to racing enthusiasts worldwide through this partnership.”
It is expected that several Supercars drivers will end up racing full-time in NASCAR in the coming years.
Van Gisbergen is expected to transition to the United States next year, while Kostecki has openly expressed his long-term aspirations to compete in NASCAR.
Cam Waters is another driver working on a NASCAR cameo which could become a full-time ride in the future.
