Will Brown will enter the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Chicago street course this year with Kaulig Racing, Kaulig announced May 27.
Brown will drive a third entry from the team, the No. 13.
Mobile X and Shaw and Partners will sponsor the Supercars driver’s effort.
The race will mark Brown’s first Chicago attempt. He made his series debut last year at Sonoma Raceway for Richard Childress Racing, finishing 31st.
“After watching Shane van Gisbergen win the 2023 Chicago NASCAR race and getting to drive myself at Sonoma last year, I’ve been really keen to have a go at the Grant Park 165,” Brown said in a team release. “The Supercars calendar aligned this year to give me time to get over to Charlotte early to prepare and give the race a crack! I have watched Kaulig Racing closely this season and I’m really excited to get behind the wheel of the MobileX and Shaw and Partners Financial Services No. 13!”
“This is an amazing opportunity for Kaulig Racing to compete for a win in one of the most prestigious events on the calendar,” team owner Matt Kaulig added. “We are so excited to have Will race with us and compete for the trophy. The team is ready, and we know he has the talent.”
Brown’s start marks the first time this season Kaulig will field a third car; it enters the Nos. 10 and 16 full time for Ty Dillon and AJ Allmendinger.
