“I Thought NASCAR Was Dead” – Bewitched by Kyle Busch, Motorsport Star Riles Up Fans With His Exciting NASCAR Announcement

In a surprising turn of events, NASCAR, which was thought to be in decline, is witnessing a resurgence of interest from drivers hailing from different racing series. After Frankie Muniz and Kamui Kobayashi made their way into the stock car racing series, we have another new exciting name that could join the circuit.

The latest contender to explore the possibility of joining the NASCAR ranks is Brodie Kostecki, the current leader of the Supercars championship. After a recent visit to a NASCAR Cup Series event, Kostecki has expressed his enthusiasm for potential race invitations in America later this year. While his primary focus remains on winning the Supercars crown for Erebus Motorsport, Kostecki is actively exploring the opportunity to expand his repertoire and compete in NASCAR.

During his visit to the NASCAR Cup Series at Gateway International Raceway, Kostecki had the chance to meet several influential figures in the NASCAR community. This experience allowed him to forge valuable connections and potentially secure race invitations in the future. One of the key connections made was with Richard Childress Racing (RCR), a leading NASCAR team led on track by Kyle Busch.

The trip provided Kostecki and his team with a unique opportunity to learn from RCR’s expertise and refine their racing methods.

Although things took an interesting turn when Kostecki revealed, “I got to meet some really cool people…and, yeah, might be able to do a race here or there maybe later in the year, I’ve talked to a lot of people over there and we’ll just see what comes up.” potentially hinting at a Cup series race entry later this year.

Kostecki also acknowledged the significance of the experience, stating, “It was a great experience. I got to meet some really cool people and hang out with RCR, and Kyle Busch and his team, which was awesome. Just got to experience a bit of a different life over there, and hopefully, we can learn a few things over there and bring it back here.”

This connection with RCR and the exposure to the NASCAR environment have undoubtedly piqued Kostecki’s interest in exploring NASCAR further. Getting to know about such a great prospect, the fans couldn’t contain their excitement.
