Supercars Buzz: Will Brown Dishes on Connor Zilisch’s Potential Wildcard Entry!

The excitement in the world of motorsport is palpable as rumors swirl about the possibility of NASCAR sensation Connor Zilisch making his electrifying debut in the Repco Supercars Championship! Will Brown, a star driver in the Supercars circuit, recently opened up about these thrilling speculations during an engaging appearance on Brodie Kostecki’s Lucky Dogs podcast. This news comes on the heels of Austin Cindric’s monumental announcement regarding his wildcard entry at the highly anticipated BP Adelaide Grand Final in November 2025.

Cindric, the Team Penske driver, is slated to hit the track in a Ford Mustang supplied by Tickford Racing. This will be his first foray into the Supercars arena, although he isn’t a stranger to Australian racing, having previously competed in the Bathurst 12 Hours back in 2015, where he finished seventh in his class and 21st overall. His prior experience behind the wheel of a Supercar adds an intriguing layer to his upcoming debut, as he has expressed a fervent desire to compete at this level.

As the buzz around Cindric’s entry amplifies, the spotlight has shifted to rising NASCAR star Connor Zilisch. Will Brown candidly reflected on the discussions surrounding Zilisch’s potential wildcard entry, stating, “There was also talk, and I have no idea, but I thought someone was talking about Connor Zilisch maybe doing a wildcard. This was getting thrown around a bit when we were over there. A few people asked us, ‘Is Connor actually coming out and doing a wildcard [in Supercars]?’”

Zilisch is no stranger to the limelight, having made waves in the Xfinity Series during the 2024 season with JR Motorsports, where he impressively clinched his first victory at Watkins Glen International. His meteoric rise continued into 2025 as he dominated the competition, racking up an astonishing nine wins—an unprecedented feat for a rookie in the Xfinity Series!

With his stellar performance, Zilisch has not only captured the regular-season championship but has also secured his playoff spot early by winning at Circuit of the Americas. This season alone has seen him go on an incredible winning streak, triumphing in four consecutive races from Iowa Speedway to World Wide Technology Raceway, solidifying his status as a force to be reckoned with.

On the cusp of his maiden postseason, Zilisch expressed confidence in his abilities to advance, saying, “I feel like I would have to have three really bad days to not make it to at least the round of eight.” He also highlighted his optimism for the upcoming roval race, emphasizing the strengths of his team and their capable machines, “Just with how fast our cars have been lately, I feel like as long as we do our job and execute, we have the chance to go get more playoff points for the next round.”

As Zilisch gears up for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, where he finished in a commendable fifth place, he stands tall at the top of the NASCAR Xfinity Series points table, boasting an impressive 85-point lead over the cutoff line. With the stakes higher than ever, the motorsport community eagerly awaits the unfolding of this thrilling narrative.

The prospect of Connor Zilisch entering the Supercars Championship as a wildcard is not just a rumor—it’s a tantalizing possibility that could send shockwaves through the racing world. As fans hold their breath, one thing is certain: the excitement is just beginning! Stay tuned as this story develops—who knows what the future holds for these racing titans!
