Revving up the engines and leaving a trail of burning rubber in his wake, another Supercars title contender is all set to storm the NASCAR Cup Series with a jaw-dropping debut at the iconic Brickyard on August 13th. Following the illustrious tire tracks of fellow Supercars star Shane van Gisbergen, who stunned the world with a victory in his NASCAR debut, this racer is poised to weave his magic in NASCAR.

On the MRN Crew Call podcast, Steve Post and Todd Gordon had the privilege of talking to Darian Grubb. The Director of Performance at Trackhouse Racing. The crew chief for Project 91 spoke about this new Australian addition to NASCAR and its effect on his team.

A major topic of discussion among fans is not just the imminent return of Shane van Gisbergen later this month at Indianapolis but also the arrival of another Supercar racer, Brodie Kostecki. As a racing superstar, van Gisbergen’s absence has left a void in the hearts of his supporters, his triumphant return will reignite the racing fever in the stands. Todd Gordon pondered how SVG would fare in his comeback. As we mentioned Kostecki, who’s set to run with the esteemed Richard Childress Racing car, will there be a rivalry between the two? This tantalizing question lingers in the minds of racing enthusiasts as they eagerly anticipate the event.

Speaking on this, Darian Grubb confidently stated, “We have a little bit, they’re definitely tough competitors over there and they race pretty tough in the Supercar series. They do bang fenders a lot and it’s that’s a group that is actually ahead of them in points right now because of the way they perform through the year. So there I’m sure there are some rivalries just because they’re coming over from the different series. But luckily Shane’s already got that featherness cap,”.

It’s no ordinary debut, mind you. While some drivers walk into the NASCAR arena with trepidation and uncertainty, Brodie Kostecki is no stranger to the American stock car world. Rewind the clock back to 2013 and 2014, and you’ll find him blazing through the ARCA Menards East Series, notching up 16 races with one top-5 finish and four top-10 finishes under his belt. And let’s not forget his residency in the heartland of motorsport, North Carolina, where racing is a way of life. It’s safe to say that Kostecki breathes the smell of burning rubber and the sound of roaring engines.
