Cam Waters, 30, currently competes full-time in Supercars where is sits second in the 2025 championship standings. But he will head stateside for the upcoming NASCAR Truck Series race at Lime Rock Park -- the first time the track has hosted a national-level NASCAR race.
He will pilot the No. 66 for ThorSport Racing, and not for the first time. Waters made his NASCAR Truck debut at Martinsville Speedway last year, starting 22nd and finishing 30th after getting collected in a late-race crash. He made his second start with the team at Kansas Speedway a few weeks later, starting 20th and finishing 19th.
He also ran the 2024 Cup race at Sonoma with RFK Racing, but a mid-race wreck left him with a 35th-place finish.
“I am genuinely excited to be heading back over to the USA to race at Lime Rock Park with the ThorSport operation," said Waters in a release from the team. "They are a truly great team with an incredibly successful racing background in the NASCAR Truck Series, and I had a heap of fun with them last year in the two races I contested. Lime Rock is a fast and flowing road course, which I feel I’ll be very well-suited to, and I can’t wait to hit the track in my No. 66 Ford F-150. I want to thank everyone at ThorSport – Duke, Rhonda, and Allison Thorson. I’m grateful for Ford Performance and everyone else who has helped make this happen. Make no mistake, I’m going after the win."
This will be his first NASCAR Truck race on a road course, which should be far more comfortable for him after running two Truck races on unfamiliar ovals. While former Supercars champions Marcos Ambrose (from Australia) and Shane van Gisbergen (from New Zealand) have both won multiples races in the Cup and Xfinity Series, no driver from Oceania has ever won a Truck Series race.
