NASCAR News: Will Brown to make NASCAR Xfinity Series debut

Kaulig Racing confirmed Australian Supercars driver Will Brown (pictured) will race in the Portland NASCAR Xfinity race on August 30th, as revealed by Speedcafe last week.

“Very excited to be racing NASCAR again with Kaulig Racing,” Brown wrote on social media.

“Looking forward to having a crack at the Xfinity Series.”

The opportunity to race the #11 Chevrolet Camaro comes after the team split with Josh Williams.

Spire Motorsports NASCAR Cup Series driver Carson Hocevar took over the car at Iowa and teammate Michael McDowell will race it at Watkins Glen this weekend.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve driven an Xfinity car, so I’m really excited about it,” said McDowell ahead of the Watkins Glen weekend.

“We are going to one of my favorite tracks at Watkins Glen and a place where I have a lot of experience in a handful of different series.

“It’s going to be a big weekend. I’m thankful for the opportunity and excited to get to the track with both Kaulig and Spire.”
