Jack Perkins, 38, has over 150 starts in Australian Supercars, winning the 2015 Gold Coast 600 Race #2 as a co-driver to James Courtney. He is a veteran of 19 Bathurst 1000s, earning a podium result there in 2019. His father, Larry Perkins, is a six-time winner of the iconic event.
The third-generation racer will now try something new, by following several of his Supercars brethren to the states to have a go at NASCAR. Perkins has secured a deal to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Portland on August 30th, driving the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Supra. Shaw and Partners Financial Services will fund the effort.
