This reveal follows Cindric's trip to Australia as he set out to get acclimated to the time change and the car he will race as he makes his official debut. He previously tested a DJR Team Penske Ford Falcon FG X in 2016, and he competed in the 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour with Erebus Motorsport.
Cindric has already spent time in a Supercars entry after landing. He joined Tickford Racing driver Cam Waters for a rip around Sandown International Motor Raceway. He rode passenger while watching Waters navigate the turns.
The next step for Cindric will be controlling the race car in preparation for his first event. He will take part in two test days at The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia. After that, it will be time for him to compete as the 25th entry on the grid.
"Securing a talent such as Austin has been a long time in the making and we are excited to watch him step into a Tickford Racing Ford Mustang in Adelaide," said Tickford Racing Managing Director Rod Nash in a press release. "His young career in the NASCAR Cup Series has been very strong and conquering the Daytona 500 is an unbelievable feat in his career to date.
"He will be challenged on the streets of Adelaide, but there is no better opportunity to allow this Wildcard entry to participate at the inaugural bp Adelaide Grand Final. With the support of Cam (Waters) and Thomas (Randle), plus the incredible team here at Tickford, we will provide Austin with all the tools to ensure his success on track come November."
