Overview

  • The BP Adelaide Grand Final is scheduled for November 27–30, several weeks after the NASCAR season ends on November 2.
  • Cindric will race a Tickford-prepared Ford Mustang as a one-off wildcard entry at the Supercars season finale.
  • Event backers see the guest drive as a chance to attract the NASCAR audience to the rebranded Adelaide showcase.
  • The 2022 Daytona 500 winner says he wants to “test myself” against Supercars’ best, building on prior tests with DJR Team Penske and Matt Stone Racing plus a 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour start.
  • The confirmed cameo follows unsuccessful efforts to secure Kyle Busch in 2024 and Kyle Larson in 2025, with Adelaide’s street circuit expected to be a stern new challenge.
