If NASCAR ace Kyle Larson has it his way, he'll be testing his mettle against the best Supercars drivers in the streets of Adelaide.
The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion has set his sights on a cameo in Australia's top motorsports category after spending his off-season at the High Limit Racing series in Perth.
The newly rebranded Adelaide Grand Final will take place four weeks after the US category's finale on November 2, meaning an appearance by Larson is feasible.
Hendrick Motorsport driver Larson is fourth in the NASCAR standings and is preparing to contest the Indianapolis 500 as part of the IndyCar series.
Asked about his racing "bucket list" ahead of the Indianapolis 500, Larson said he has already initiated conversations about racing in a Supercar.
"It's really tough to run big races, because I'm racing 54 weekends of the year," Larson said.
"One that stands out to me, and hopefully I can put it together down the road, is I'd like to run a Supercar, in particular in Adelaide.
"It's their finale, they have a sprint car track in the city as well, so I could do both.
"I would like to do that. There's been some conversations. We'll see where it goes.
"For right now, it's hard to look that far ahead. Indy is a big deal right now, and we're ingrained in the Cup season."
Intrigue around the Adelaide grand final comes after the competition introduced a finals series to this year's championship hunt.
The finals series will eliminate championship contenders from 10 to four across the preceding rounds, before Adelaide hosts the decider.
The highest point-scoring driver across the grand final will be crowned champion.
