Two-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner has confirmed he will make the
move to four wheels to race a V8 Supercar this season. Since
announcing his intention to quit the MotoGP circuit last May, Stoner
has been strongly linked to a move to the V8s and he will make his
debut in the second tier development series at the Adelaide 500 on
February 28, News Ltd reported on Sunday. The 27-year-old Stoner will
race a Red Bull Holden Commodore backed by Triple Eight Racing,
previously driven by four-time Supercars champion Jamie Whincup, the
same team he has already enjoyed a series of training and testing
sessions with. Stoner's Commodore will wear his famous No.27, the same
number with which he won the 2007 and 2011 MotoGP championships. After
an injury-interrupted season Stoner signed off on his MotoGP career in
his final race in Valencia, Spain in November, finishing third in the
2012 championship. He said he had no plans to
return to the sport.
