Brodie Kostecki (born 1 November 1997) is an Australian professional racing driver of Ukrainian descent.[1] He competes in the Repco Supercars Championship, driving the No. 99 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Erebus Motorsport, winning the 2023 Supercars Championship, as well as part-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Erebus Motorsport in a collaboration with Richard Childress Racing. He also previously competed in what is now the ARCA Menards Series East.
Kostecki earned the nickname "Bush" after an incident in a Super2 Series race in 2020 where he drove into a bush. He is the cousin of racing drivers Kurt and Jake Kostecki.[2]
Racing career

Kostecki moved to Mooresville, North Carolina in 2013 when he was 16 to compete in NASCAR in the K&N Pro Series East. He drove for his own team, Team Arcoplate Racing, part-time in 2013 and full-time in 2014 in a No. 43 car.[3] He returned to Australia in 2015.
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, Erebus will need to pick a different number to use for their entry.[4] Richard Childress stated that the plan is for Kostecki to run up to five Cup Series races in 2024, including an oval race.[5]
Supercars
Brodie 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 8th place coming at Sandown. In 2020, Brodie signed with Erebus Motorsport to co-drive alongside Anton de Pasquale. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic however, only one co driver race was held at all coming at Bathurst. Brodie finished 9th in the 2020 edition of The Great Race. In 2021, Brodie was signed alongside Will Brown to drive for Erebus following the departures of David Reynolds and Anton de Pasquale. He scored 3 podiums throughout the year at Sandown, Eastern Creek and Bathurst. He ended the year in 9th place, scoring 1788 points. In 2022, Brodie jumped to 7th in the points standings but scored one less podium than the year prior. These podium appearances coming at Eastern Creek and The Bend.
