MSR wildcard added to Ipswich Supercars field
Matt Stone Racing wildcard added to Ipswich Supercars field
Cameron Crick returns for second solo start after Sydney debut
Crick to contest enduros with yet-to-be-announced co-driver
The Repco Supercars Championship field will expand for the upcoming Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440, with Matt Stone Racing fielding a wildcard entry for Cameron Crick.
Crick, who made his solo Supercars debut in Sydney earlier this year, returns for a second crack at the main game in August.
The Sydneysider will once again drive the #35 Dormer HVAC Racing Chevrolet Camaro, and will race in the two Enduro Cup events with a yet-to-be-announced co-driver.
The MSR announcement comes as Supercars readies for a two-round Queensland fling, with the first Ipswich round since 2019 following next weekend's NTI Townsville 500.
Zach Bates has also been linked to a Supercars debut in Ipswich with Triple Eight Race Engineering before his two-round Enduro Cup run with Craig Lowndes, taking the grid to 26 cars.
“Very much looking forward to an extra sprint round," said Crick, who finished the three Sydney races in 25th, 18th and 24th.
"We have been working away in the background to put it together, obviously got some new partners involved and the Queensland race being the last sprint round before the enduros, I think will give me good confidence leading into the enduros.
"It’s also MSR’s test track that I was lucky enough to do a few laps at last year ahead of the enduros, so apart from Sydney, it was probably the best and most fitting sprint round for us to do.”
“I have been spending a lot of time at the MSR workshop the last few weeks. They have started to put my chassis back together along with some new partners we now have involved, so it has been important to be here as much as I can and be getting prepared for the enduros.
"We’re already in July and things are going to start to happen pretty quick. Obviously after Townsville I’ll be doing those next three rounds in the championship.
"Both my MSR teammates have been really solid so far this year, so I feel like we have got good data and fast race cars leading into an exciting time of the year.”
The 2025 season resumes in Townsville on July 11-13. Tickets are on sale now. International viewers can watch the action on SuperView.
Tickets for the Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440, set for August 8-10, are also on sale.
