Supercars gun Will Brown to make NASCAR Cup Series debut in California

When NASCAR drivers hit the racetrack in California, they’ll be going head-to-head with an Australian used car salesman. Supercars gun Will Brown is set to make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in the No.33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet when he takes to Sonoma Raceway on Monday . The 26-year-old from Toowoomba announced himself in the first practice session ahead, claiming the third-fastest time to outpace RCR teammates and veteran drivers Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch.

Van Gisbergen, who races full-time in the second-tier Xfinity Series, famously took the chequered flag in Chicago to become the first driver in 60 years to win on their NASCAR debut. Asked if he intends to do the same in Sonoma, Brown remains realistic about his chances. “I don’t feel any pressure to replicate that. It was pretty special what he did there,” Brown said. “Not to take anything away from him but that was a straight track that was something new to those drivers.
