Castlemaine born Declan Fraser did the region proud as a wildcard entry racing alongside motorsport legend Craig Lowndes in the Bathurst 1000 last Sunday.
Declan said it was an incredible experience.
“Where do I begin. First Bathurst 1000, led the race, highest ever wildcard finisher and finished inside the top 10 in 8th!” he told his followers.
The 22 year old thanked everyone from Supercheap Auto and Triple Eight Race Engineering and his family for their support.
“I love you all so much and can’t thank everyone enough for everything they’ve done to make this possible.”
“Finally to Craig Lowndes, thank you so much for taking me under your wing these past few days. I learnt so much from you, it’s a debt I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay.”
Declan’s dad Justin Fraser told the Mail the family were thrilled with his historic wildcard result and his efforts in Super2 where he currently leads the championship.
“Leah, Jasmine, and I are incredibly proud of everything Declan has achieved to date,” he said.
