Brown tests sprint car ahead of NASCAR trip

Will Brown has become the latest Supercars driver to sample a sprint car ahead of a flying NASCAR trip Stateside.

Brown, who has won three of the last five Supercars races, tested a car at Sydney International Speedway.

The Erebus Motorsport driver joined teammate Brodie Kostecki, Shane van Gisbergen and Cam Waters as drivers to hit dirt.

Brown drove a car owned by Sean Dyson, with the two linked via personal sponsor Lancaster GMSV.

Kostecki and Brown, who are first and second in the Supercars standings, will turn attention to a United States trip.

Select Erebus staff will watch on at World Wide Technology Raceway as guests of Richard Childress Racing.

Prior to the trip, Brown will be on hand at Winton Motor Raceway on Wednesday to oversee a driver evaluation.

Super2 drivers Jay Hanson and Cooper Murray will sample Brown’s #9 Coca-Cola Camaro.

Brown’s sprint car cameo comes after Kostecki revealed he has made gains having driven different cars of late.

“I wouldn’t put it down to one category, I’d put it down to a variety of things I’ve raced,” Kostecki said.

“I’ve had a lot of support around me the last few years — Paul Morris has said to drive as many different cars as you can.

“You don’t want to get stuck in a single way of thinking, or driving — you want to be as open-minded as possible.

“You want to have as many tools in a toolbox you can draw from.

“I probably put some of my success down to driving of those different things.”

The 2023 season will resume at the betr Darwin Triple Crown on June 16-18.
