Will Brown hyped for some 2023/24 Sprintcar dates

Will Brown is set to take on some yet to be named Sprintcar dates during the upcoming 2023-24 season with Dyson Motorsport.

Brown engaged in some testing time at the Eastern Creek Speedway earlier in the year, which was also captured for a short video in a release called “Mindset” which was filmed by Benny Edwards, which you can check out below.

Dyson Motorsports is certainly no stranger to big name pro drivers after last year running American Sprintcar star Carson Macedo in its #99 Lancaster GMSV, taking a handful wins, with the American this year sitting third in the premier World of Outlaws championship in the USA.

Brown is currently heading towards the end of his time with Erebus Motorsport in the 2023 Supercars season, and prior to suiting up Triple Eight in 2024, he wants to fill the time in some of the 900hp dirt track machinery.

Brown cites the very driver he’s replacing at T8 as influence for wanting to give the Sprintcars a go, saying that he admires Shane van Gisbergen’s willingness and skill to be able jump into anything.

But he also says that he wanted to see what all the “hype was about”, with several other Supercar drivers like Cameron Waters and Brodie Kostecki also having jumped into the machinery.

“I wanted to see what the hype was about – how hard they are to drive and the horsepower. There’s probably no discipline like Sprintcars and I thought I’ve got to give it a go,” Brown related.

“Over the last couple of years, even though he’s a competitor of mine, I’ve idolised SVG and what he’s been doing, and what he’s capable of doing in Drift cars, in Nascar, in rally cars – everything.

“Jumping between different disciplines and wanting to be up the front in all of them. So, that’s the thing, I just thought “a Sprintcar, something different, really cool piece of equipment. Can I jump in it and be able to do a good job in it?”

The chance to test came about via some long term sponsors, Lancaster GMSV – Australia’s #1 sales volume Chevrolet dealer.

And subsequently, thanks to the personal friendship between Mark Lancaster and Sean Dyson of Dyson Motorsport, the opportunity for Will was successfully orchestrated, which quickly became a vision to get him behind the wheel competitively.

“After a great test, we decided that we may have a go at running some events during the 2023/2024 Sprint car season, with dates yet to be locked in,” said Lancaster  

“we are all looking to have a bit of fun in Will’s supercar off-season” 

The car will be sponsored by Lancaster GMSV, Complete Parts & Equipment Solutions, Heritage Farming & KMC Wheels, along with the Dyson Motorsport team.
