A short social media post confirmed the NASCAR commentator will feature in \u201cvarious event appearances\u201d and \u201cacross the Supercars Championship broadcast\u201d on November 27-30.<\/p>\n

Diffey is attending the Adelaide Grand Final as a guest of the event organisers, and has been offered to Supercars to feature in the broadcast.<\/p>\n

It is not expected that Diffey will call any Supercars sessions, but will likely feature in between.<\/p>\n

Australian-born Diffey resides in the United States, working for NBC Sports.<\/p>\n

The former Supercars commentator made a name for himself Down Under before becoming a leading voice for IndyCar and now NASCAR.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been to Adelaide in almost 20 years, so I\u2019m super excited to return to South Australia. A couple of concerts \u2013 Lenny Kravitz, AC\/DC,\u201d said Diffey.<\/p>\n

NASCAR star Austin Cindric also appeared in a video with Diffey, expressing his excitement at visiting Australia.<\/p>\n

Cindric will join Supercars, driving a Tickford Racing-prepared Ford Mustang wildcard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been [to Adelaide] and I\u2019m looking forward to going,\u201d said Cindric.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019ll be a race car there with my name on it, so it should be a super fun adventure. A lot going on, not just the race on the race weekend. A lot to look forward to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a cool opportunity. Obviously our season ends here [at Phoenix] and we get to go down there and spend my off-season in such a fun way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe series has been super competitive, especially with this next-generation car. It\u2019s been fun for me to watch on the sidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cindric is set to arrive in Australia on Friday and attend the weekend\u2019s Sandown 500 before having his first drive of the Tickford Mustang on Monday.<\/p>\n
