Cam Waters to race at Sonoma for RFK racing
RFK Racing announced Tuesday that Cam Waters will be behind the wheel of the No. 60 Ford in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on June 9.
The entry’s sponsorship has yet to be announced.
Waters, the Repco Supercars Championship Series driver, will be making his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Sonoma. Driver of the No. 6 Ford for Tickford Racing, Waters has tallied 11 wins and 45 podiums in 260 starts. He finished a career best second in the standings in 2020 and ’22.
The 29-year-old, Victoria native has competed in two CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races this season for ThorSport Racing. He finished P30 at Martinsville and P19 at Kansas.
“This opportunity for me is a dream come true,” Waters said in a press release. “And one that I do not take lightly given the global audience of NASCAR and the Cup Series. I’ve been fortunate to dip my toes into the NASCAR waters a bit this year. And am excited to put my road-racing experience to the test this summer. It takes a village to make something like this come to fruition.”
Cam Waters working with NASCAR veteran ahead of Cup Series debut
Waters has been working with former full-time Cup Series driver David Ragan in a simulator in preparation for the race at Sonoma. Ragan piloted the Stage 60 entry to a P20 result in the Daytona 500 earlier this season.
“Cam has certainly logged his share of miles the last couple of months flying back and forth from Australia, but he’s done a great job familiarizing himself with NASCAR and working with David Ragan in our simulator,” Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports said. “It’s always exciting when we can have someone from another part of our global motorsports family compete in a different series, and we feel this is a great opportunity for him to showcase his talent. We’re grateful to RFK for initiating this Stage 60 program, and we’re looking forward to Sonoma.”
