CAMERON Crick believes he is not out of the hunt for a maiden Supercars full-time drive in 2026.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old now has nine main game races under his belt, all with Matt Stone Racing \u2013 two as co-driver to Cameron Hill<\/a> last year, six as a solo wildcard, and one leading the #35 wildcard at The Bend 500.<\/p>\n

He and Aaron Seton<\/a> will join forces once more for next week\u2019s Repco Bathurst 1000.<\/p>\n

One of motorsport\u2019s genuine nice guys, Crick has been mentioned as an outside chance to factor in the ongoing silly season. The two 2026 seats with the most uncertainty around them as it stands belong to MSR and the Blanchard Racing Team (one apiece).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main game is still the focus and we have had a few conversations,\u201d Crick told V8 Sleuth when asked about his plans for next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to think at least worst-case co-driving and wildcards would be on the cards again, but I guess there is still a chance that possibly there might be something for main game.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it depends on a few things to fall a certain way and obviously sponsors as well. So that\u2019s where that\u2019s at.\u201d<\/p>\n
