TICKFORD Supercars debutant-in-waiting Campbell Logan<\/a> will get his maiden shot on the big stage in a seat that he originally turned down.<\/p>\n

Logan will pair up with Super2 teammate Ben Gomersall<\/a> for a one-off main game wildcard at The Bend 500 in September.<\/p>\n

The news was announced this morning<\/a>, hot on the heels of the Tasmanian\u2019s breakout weekend in Darwin where he claimed his first Super2 race and round wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a pretty cool last week or so for sure,\u201d Logan told V8 Sleuth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all race Super2 because we want to try break into the main series, so to be co-driving at The Bend is something I\u2019m really excited for.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Logan revealed the stop-start timeline behind making the dream opportunity a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all came about pretty quickly, to be honest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ruled myself out pretty early for the wildcard program earlier in the year (i.e. prior to Round 1 in February), but a few things happened which allowed me to be able to pursue it, and the team were always really keen for the Autosport program to be running the wildcard and have full Autosport drivers within it.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few factors played out in the last two or three weeks which allowed me to sign and I\u2019m really excited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With no Super2 at The Bend, Tickford will be able to divert its Dunlop Series staff onto the wildcard effort.<\/p>\n

Unlike last year, they won\u2019t double up for the Repco Bathurst 1000 (where Super2 will feature).<\/p>\n

The Undercut \u2013 How hot is too hot?<\/p>\n

The Undercut is back for another week, downloading a hot weekend in the Top End for Supercars!<\/p>\n

\u201cTo race in the 1000 is such a dream and hopefully I\u2019ll get there one day\u2026 but I want to win the Super2 championship,\u201d said Logan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where my immediate focus is and to be able to get a bit of experience co-driving and make my debut in Supercars at a separate round to Super2 I think is just an absolute bonus for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Logan tested on The Bend\u2019s West circuit as a Super2 rookie with Walkinshaw Andretti United.<\/p>\n

His only prior Gen3 mileage came in February aboard Cam Waters<\/a>\u2019 Monster Mustang at the post-event Sydney Motorsport Park ride day.<\/p>\n

Logan won\u2019t partake in Gomersall\u2019s test today at Queensland Raceway, but will turn laps at the all-in test there in August directly following the Ipswich Super440.<\/p>\n
