Building upon his steadfast commitment and aspirations, Kostecki, during a conversation on the ‘Stacking Pennies’ podcast unveiled his season’s roadmap and imminent prospects in the Cup Series. Torn between the allure of lucrative gains in NASCAR and the pull of his native roots as the Supercars Championship advances, Kostecki vocalizes his ambition to achieve personal milestones within his homeland. “I’ve got a lot of boxes I want to check back home,” he stated.

Acknowledging the relentless rhythm of Cup series races, he underscores the demand for unyielding commitment and unrelenting striving. His trajectory envisions dedicating himself to his domestic circuit, marking off an array of personal aspirations. Beyond his current pursuits, he yearns to expand his racing horizon, embracing a more expansive schedule.

“It’s so competitive here, and it’s so hard to race every single week. Back here you’ve still got to put in the same effort, if not more, because you race more. So yeah, I’ve got a lot of things I want to do back home, and to be honest, we only race 12 times, so I just want to broaden my calendar and race as much as possible,” Kostecki elaborates.
