Supercars News: Cam Waters to make NASCAR debut at Mville

Cameron Waters will be the latest Supercars star to try his hand at NASCAR next weekend when he will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut.

Waters will race at Martinsville in the Long John Silvers 200 with support from Ford Performance for ThorSport Racing.

The race will take place on Saturday, April 6, during the gap between the most recent Supercars round at Albert Park and before the Taupo Super400.

The Tickford Racing driver will head to the States on Tuesday and admits the opportunity will be a dream come true with a NASCAR race.

“We’ve been working away at making this happen for some time and to finally be given the change to race, and with a top operation, is great,” Waters said.

“I’m not putting too much pressure on myself knowing I will be getting thrown into the deep end without any testing, but hopefully I can adapt reasonably quickly and be competitive. It’s a short oval so I’m sure it will be pretty wild out there.

“I have to thank Ford Performance and the team at ThorSport for helping make this happen and also my long-time team Tickford Racing, who have always supported my plans to explore new driving opportunities in and around my continued dedication to winning the Supercars Championship with them.”
