Australian Supercars driver Cam Waters will make his NASCAR debut in the Craftsman Truck series with ThorSport Racing at Martinsville Speedway on Friday night, fulfilling a year-long opportunity. Waters’ interest in NASCAR was further fueled during his visit to the track last year. He will be behind the wheel of ThorSport Racing’s No. 66 Ford F-150, becoming the third Australian Supercars driver to venture into NASCAR within a year. Unlike his counterparts, Waters opted for truck racing to explore oval racing and enhance his racing skills. While he aspires to potentially transition to NASCAR full-time in the future, Waters acknowledges the uniqueness and challenges of oval pavement racing compared to his dirt oval background. Despite his limited NASCAR experience, Waters is eager to learn and adapt during his debut, hoping to have a clean race and gain valuable insights for potential future endeavors in the sport.
