Scott McLaughlin will get his first taste of a NASCAR at this weekend’s Vodafone Gold Coast 600.
The 25-year-old has received the call-up to demonstrate a Team Penske Ford Fusion previously raced by Joey Logano.
A series of 10-minute demo runs across the weekend adds to the entertainment line-up for the Surfers Paradise street event.
The Fusion is based in DJR Team Penske’s workshop museum at Yatala, Queensland, on loan from the NASCAR squad.
The demos are scheduled for 4:10pm Friday, 12:30pm Saturday and 12:50pm Sunday.
