Walkinshaw Andretti United have confirmed that they will retain Chaz Mostert in 2022 and beyond after he signed a multi-year extension with the team.

After joining the Clayton squad in 2020, Mostert immediately secured a podium finish and lap record on debut at the 2020 Adelaide 500.

Since then, Mostert has gone on to win at Symmons Plains, the teams first since 2018, as well as notch up nine podiums, two pole positions, and currently sits third in the 2021 Supercars Championship after a strong start to the season.

“I’m super pumped to sign on with Walkinshaw Andretti United on a multi-year deal, and repay the faith that Ryan, Martine, Michael, Zak and the entire WAU team showed in me.” said Mostert.

“It’s been pretty incredible to see what we’ve been able to achieve together in a short amount of time, under some pretty challenging circumstances, so I’m excited for the future, and have no doubt that will continue.”

“It was a no-brainer for me to re-sign that’s for sure. This team is incredible, full of amazing people and it is very family orientated. Why would I leave my family?”

The 2014 Bathurst 1000 winner has so far recorded 14 wins, 62 podiums and 22 pole positions in total during his Supercars career.

“We are delighted to continue our journey with Chaz, he has been instrumental in our development and the path we are on as a team, we definitely have big things we still want to achieve together, which was always the goal when we started.” said Ryan Walkinshaw, Walkinshaw Andretti United Team Owner.

“He is without-doubt one of the leading drivers in the category, and we have worked really hard as a collective to put ourselves in the fight. It’s not just on the track we are seeing results though, he is a major part of our family, and fits into our culture perfectly.”

“We remain completely focussed on the 2021 season, but it’s nice to know our future with Chaz is now secured, and I can’t wait to see what we can continue to achieve.”

Mostert and Walkinshaw Andretti United will be on track this weekend at the Darwin Triple Crown, June 18-20.
