NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kurt Busch is ready to add another
form of professional motorsports to his lengthy driving resume.
The former NASCAR champion, who has driven an Indy car, sports car
and an NHRA Pro Stock dragster, will take part in a car swap Tuesday with the
Australian V8 Supercars Series during a media event at the Circuit of The
Americas in Austin, Texas.
Busch will test a Holden Commodore V8 Supercar, and his No. 78
Furniture Row Chevrolet SS will also be on hand with an offer to Australian V8 Supercar
drivers James Courtney and Fabian Coulthard to take the Sprint Cup racer for a spin around
the 3.4-mile Grand Prix circuit.
"I'm flattered to be invited by Circuit of The Americas and
the Australian V8 Supercars Series to participate in this unique event,” Busch
said. “Getting a chance to drive a V8 Supercar was high on my wish list, and
the chance to do it at Circuit of The Americas makes this a dream opportunity.”
The V8 Supercars Series,
Australia's premier motorsports category, is scheduled to compete May 17-19 at
the Circuit of The Americas, which will also host the Formula 1 United States Grand
Prix later in the year.
