Cam Waters’ perspective on his Cup Series debut

Waters is enthusiastic about his NASCAR Cup Series debut, acknowledging the challenges ahead. “For me, it’s a bit of a bucket list (item) to be honest,“, Waters said this week at NASCAR’s Production Facility in Concord, N.C. He added, “I get to come over and do a Cup race – it’s pretty awesome. To be able to do it, you know, on a road course and in a car that kind of makes a little bit more sense to me is going to be pretty special as well. I think I’ve got no idea how it’s to go but I just want to enjoy the week“​​.

He elaborated on the appeal of stepping out of his comfort zone, stating, “The other part was to be able to come over here and do a few oval races. That was kind of the Truck side and I absolutely had a ball. It appeals just to kind of step out my comfort zone and do a few more races on the side and complement my racing back home“​​.

At Sonoma, Waters will face formidable competitors. The list includes Martin Truex Jr. and Chase Elliott. With +225 odds, Elliott, a road course specialist, is the favorite for the race. At the same time, Truex, a four-time winner at Sonoma, is also looking to break his drought with a win. As a result, Waters must draw on his Supercar experience to navigate the challenging Sonoma track and compete against these seasoned drivers.
