Brodie Kostecki

Brodie Paul "Bush" Kostecki (born 1 November 1997) is an Australian professional racing driver. He has been competing in the Repco Supercars Championship, driving the #17 Ford Mustang GT for Dick Johnson Racing, Kostecki won the 2023 Supercars Championship. He also previously competed in the NASCAR Cup Series and what is now the ARCA Menards Series East.

In 2023, Kostecki returned to NASCAR to make his Cup Series debut in the race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. He drove for Richard Childress Racing, which fielded an additional car for him that weekend, the No. 33 Chevrolet. He would qualify in eleventh and would finish in 22nd position.

On October 2, 2023, it was announced that Kostecki would run part-time in the Cup Series again in 2024 and it would be for Erebus Motorsport, his team in the Supercars Series, which would debut in NASCAR in a partnership with Richard Childress Racing. The announcement had a picture of a Cup Series car with the No. 99, Kostecki's Supercar number, but with Trackhouse Racing already having that number in the Cup Series (and Hendrick Motorsports already having their other number 9), Erebus will need to pick a different number to use for their entry. Richard Childress stated that the plan is for Kostecki to run up to five Cup Series races in 2024, including an oval race. On May 1, 2024, Paul Morris, Kostecki's long–time mentor, confirmed that the planned Cup races had been axed.

Kostecki debuted in the 2019 Bathurst 1000, alongside cousin Jake Kostecki. The pair failed to finish after a crash on Lap 111. The pair competed at the following two rounds at the Gold Coast and Sandown with a best finish of eighth place coming at Sandown.

Kostecki was given an opportunity by Eggleston Motorsport, run by Rachael and Ben Eggleston. He claimed two poles, two wins, and three fastest laps in the COVID-shortened 2020 Dunlop Series.

Kostecki was signed by Erebus for the 2020 Bathurst 1000 alongside Anton De Pasquale. They finished ninth in the 2020 edition of The Great Race.

In 2021, Kostecki was signed alongside Will Brown to drive for Erebus following the departures of David Reynolds and Anton de Pasquale. He scored three podiums throughout the year at Sandown, Eastern Creek and Bathurst. He ended the year in ninth place, scoring 1788 points.

In 2022, Kostecki jumped to seventh in the points standings but scored one less podium than the year prior. These podium appearances coming at Eastern Creek and The Bend.
