Supercars supremo Marcos Ambrose will chief the crew of driver Owen Kelly, who will race in a Ford Mustang Trans Am.
ELSEWHERE IN SPORT:
This will be Kelly's first time driving a Trans Am.
"The Trans Am cars are not that dissimilar to a short track NASCAR, so I think I'll be able to find my feet pretty quickly," he said.
"When I committed to doing these races, I just thought I'd get a couple of mates together and run the car. Straight away, I thought of Marcos and my brother.
"A couple of other mates might come down, and we'll just go have a good time. It's an old school, fun way of going about it.
"Marcos will definitely be an asset. He has a good handle on how race cars work, especially this style of car - it's what we are used to in the States. I can't wait to get into it."
