NASCARs on Gold Coast radar for Supercars

America's NASCAR championship could be coming to Australia as soon as next year as part of the annual Supercars event on the Gold Coast.

DJR Team Penske drivers Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard will get behind the wheel of a Team Penske-supplied 2016 Ford Fusion NASCAR in demonstrations on the Surfers Paradise street circuit this weekend.

Supercars chief executive Sean Seamer confirmed on Friday the championship was in discussions with the United States category about future appearances on the Gold Coast but stressed talks were very much in a "preliminary" stage.
