Richard Childress Racing signs new driver for NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma

Richard Childress Racing has utilized its third NASCAR Cup Series car more often since the start of the 2023 NASCAR season and it continued at Texas Motor Speedway. Austin Hill drove the No. 33 Cup car before going to the garage for steering issues. Now, Richard Childress Racing has picked up a new driver for the No. 33 car in 2024.

According to V8 Sleuth’s Stefan Bartholomaeus, Supercars Championship driver Will Brown is scheduled to drive the No. 33 car in the Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway . Brown currently leads the Supercars Championship point standings with a 71-point cushion and has three wins. The 25-year-old driver replaced Shane van Gisbergen at Red Bull.

Brodie Kostecki is another Supercars Championship driver who drove for Richard Childres Racing in 2023, competing at the Indianapolis  Road Course. However, it appears that Kostecki won’t be behind the wheel of a car in NASCAR this season. Brown now has a major opportunity in good equipment at Sonoma in June.
