[autotag]Richard Childress Racing[/autotag] took Kyle Busch and Jesse Love away from Toyota Racing in the last 365 days as the organization continues fine-tuning its driver lineups. Most notably, the NASCAR Cup Series lineup appears to be locked with Busch and Austin Dillon. However, the NASCAR team still wants to run a third car for a specific driver.
According to Richard Childress in an interview with V8 Sleuth, Richard Childress Racing is pursuing Supercars’ Brodie Kostecki to compete in a couple of road courses and an oval during the 2024 Cup Series season. Kostecki made his Cup Series debut with Richard Childress Racing in the No. 33 car for a 22nd-place finish at the Indianapolis Road Course in 2023.
This would be a big addition for Richard Childress Racing, as the Supercars world was involved in NASCAR during the 2023 season. Shane van Gibsergen, who left Supercars for Trackhouse Racing starting in 2024, won in his Cup Series debut at the Chicago Street Course. Overall, Kostecki would be a great part-time addition as he learns the NextGen car.
