The Verizon 200 at the Brickyard boasts an impressive roster, showcasing international racing figures hailing from every nook and cranny of the motorsport globe. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway primes itself for a showdown as both seasoned veterans and fresh faces, including Brodie Kostecki, gear up to hit the track this weekend.

Set to make his debut in the Cup Series at Indy, Kostecki is making waves in the NASCAR world. Ahead of his big moment, the Aussie dishes out his season’s blueprint and near-future prospects on the ‘Stacking Pennies’ podcast.

Brodie Kostecki expresses desire to achieve goals on home soil

Brodie Kostecki faces a pivotal crossroads in his career, contemplating the choice between indulging in the financial gains and hype of a full-time NASCAR run or staking his claim in a different series. As the ongoing Supercars Championship at his homeland approaches its midpoint, Kostecki acknowledges his desire to fulfill ambitions on home turf. “I’ve got a lot of boxes I want to check back home” he added.

He emphasizes that mere monetary motives won’t suffice in the fiercely competitive environment of NASCAR. Recognizing the intensity of weekly races of the Cup series, he underscores the necessity of unwavering dedication and effort to excel. Kostecki’s future trajectory involves a commitment to his home series, aiming to tick off numerous personal objectives. Despite the allure of his current endeavors, he yearns to broaden his racing horizon, intending to embrace a more extensive calendar.

“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 stated.
