Reporting live from the ‘Shire’ once I arrived home from a truly wonderful day at Jim & Sancho’s residence to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Motor Enthusiasts Group Car Club.
I made it home in time to watch the last 30-laps of the ‘Great Race’ of the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

I also heard on the news that Roger Penske Co-Team owner of the winning Ford Mustang team wants to get the (Kiwi) Scott McLaughlin (winning driver) to try his luck in the US to drive in the NASCAR Series or evening better still to have a shot in the seat of an Indy car.
Not a bad rap from none other than the ‘Legend’ Roger Penske. If this ever eventuates I think this guy (Scott McLaughlin) can make it in the USA with the support of Roger Penske.

Listen up, how about this for a great story.
This year’s Supercheap’s Auto Bathurst 1000 was won by a Ford Mustang, driven by Scott McLaughlin (a Kiwi), his co driver was Alex Premat (a Frenchman). Race car team owners, Dick Johnson (an Australian) he was a 5-time Australian Touring Car Champion and a 3-time winner of the Bathurst 1000.

The world famous Roger Penske (an American) who I am sure does not need any further introduction to the world of motor racing was at the track to witness this outstanding victory and event was the other half owner of the victorious Ford Mustang race team.
Roger Penske commented after the race, that victory here at Bathurst was on his bucket list, and compared it to winning (can you believe it) the Indianapolis 500.
Roger Penske has won the Indianapolis 500, 18-times, an unrivaled record by any team owner at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So if that is not a ‘HUGE’ recommendation & rap for our Bathurst event coming from somebody like Roger Penske, I do not know what is.
