    Following Cam Waters and Will Brown's debuts in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma, the podcast talks about the impact the driver's crossovers have had on both series, starting with Shane van Gisbergen's win at the inaugural 2023 Chicago Street Race. With Brodie Kostecki running last year as well, do you see any other Supercars drivers crossing over into NASCAR anytime soon?

For example, Allan Moffat who was a major player in the early 1970s won the 3rd ever TransAm race in a U2 Lotus Cortina. But SVG is a freak I haven't seen before

    There has always been opportunity for overseas drivers to race in the Supercars endurance races. Due to the length of the race, each car needs a second driver for the race. The Bathurst 1000 would be your equivalent of Daytona 500, but longer and on a road course, technically it’s a street circuit. The main problem for NASCAR drivers is that you have races basically every weekend in the calendar.

    You guys are 100% correct that it brings extra eyeballs from different countries and different series to NASCAR which I think is a fantastic thing
    As far as the two Aussie drivers go in today’s race, Wil Brown was on his way into the top 10 before he had electrical issues, and the same can be said for Cam Waters who was in 13th place when he got torpedoed by Josh Berrys dive bomb down the inside of the hairpin which gave him damage and eventually took him out of the race. I’d really like to see these guys have decent equipment and not have mechanical problems because I think they’d be in the top 10.

    Great job by both drivers. At one stage they were running near the top 10 (at different times). Different pit strategys sure, but they both were possibly looking at top 15 if not top 10 finishes. Better quali's with more experience in the cars and they'd have been running inside the top 10 for the race.

SVG was the only driver at Chicago last year who had experience on street circuits in a fairly similar car to a NASCAR car; yes A.J.
