“NASCAR has been a lifelong goal of mine” - Brodie Kostecki
Brodie Kostecki is not new to NASCAR as he has an experience of racing in the ARCA Menards Series East in 2013 and 2014. He had made 16 career starts in ARCA, won two poles, and four top-five finishes. His career best finish of P5 came at Dover Motor Speedway in 2014.
Speaking about his debut, Kostecki continued:
“Racing is at the core of everything I do, and NASCAR has been a lifelong goal of mine after spending years growing up in the sport’s heartland in North Carolina. It’s a whole different world over there and any additional time I can spend racing is only going to help me try and win my first Supercars Championship. We got some great exposure to the inner sanctum of the team during our recent trip, and I cannot wait to immerse myself in the team, this time as a Cup Series driver.”
