Waters NASCAR Endeavor: Rising star Waters eyes a triple-entry into the NASCAR Cup Series with the esteemed Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, a development secured in the aftermath of his renewed contract with Tickford Racing.
Awaiting the formal seal, Waters seeks to emulate compatriot Shane van Gisbergen’s full-time transition to NASCAR while also linking up with Kostecki as a guest driver for street/road course events.
Kostecki, securing his spot with Richard Childress Racing for selected NASCAR Cup races, is part of an expanding trend drawing interest from Supercars drivers following SVG’s triumphant NASCAR Cup debut at Chicago’s inaugural street race.
Waters, re-upping with Tickford Racing for at least another year, will lead a streamlined two-car outfit alongside Thomas Randle, a deal finalized nearly three months ago yet awaiting official acknowledgment amid adjustments within Tickford’s setup.
The renewed alliance enables Waters to explore international racing avenues next year, notably in NASCAR, prior to committing to Supercars in 2025. He anticipates a resurgence for Tickford and Ford next season once adjustments to aero and engine parity are settled.
Though discreet about his NASCAR aspirations, Waters voices his interest in racing at renowned tracks overseas while expressing a persistent desire to establish a regular presence in the American racing scene.
Meanwhile, insights from van Gisbergen, who quietly resettled in Charlotte, North Carolina, following his move from Adelaide, preparing for a fresh chapter in his career and life in the USA.
