Austin Cindric to make Repco Supercars debut in Australia
NASCAR Cup Series driver Austin Cindric will make his Repco Supercars Championship debut in November.
Cindric, the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford in the Cup Series, is set to race for Tickford Racing when the Repco Supercars Championship races Nov. 28, 29 and 30 on the streets of Adelaide. The three-pack of races will close out the 2025 season and decide the championship.
Supercars is where current Cup Series star Shane van Gisbergen first made a name for himself, racking up three championships and 80 wins in 508 starts. Marcos Ambrose also raced in Supercars before coming to NASCAR, earning two championships and 28 wins in 147 starts.
Other Supercars-to-NASCAR converts include Will Brown and Cam Waters.
The pipeline hasn’t worked as well the other way around. Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch have been linked to entries in the series but neither came to fruition. Cindric’s reported entry marks a first in that regard.
