The Motorsport Brief - J-Mac is back Ahead of Adelaide

Rusty's Garage

With Sprintcars on the VAILO Adelaide 500 schedule, we thought it was time for another catchup with world renowned driver, James McFadden who will be racing the NAPA Auto Parts backed Hodges Motorsport #5 in Adelaide.

The Aussie speedway star made an emotional speech at the recent High Limit Series banquet announcing his retirement from full time racing in the USA, but it’s not the end of the road.

J-Mac talks about the reasons behind his shock decision, explains what’s next and shares some highs and lows from his time in the States.

We look ahead to a significant moment for the sport (in this part of the world) and what his expectations are with the Hodges Motorsport team this weekend.

It’s been a hell of a ride for J-Mac, but as you’ll hear he’s at the peak of his game and still deeply loves turning left and standing on the gas! Enjoy the ride.

A huge thank you to Tim Hodges from Hodges Motorsport for making this chat possible.

The 2024 VAILO Adelaide 500 is the 25th edition of the event, General Admission tickets start from $39 and can be bought at Ticketmaster, which includes access to NAPA Speedway, Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Sprint and after-race concert series headlined by Cold Chisel and Crowded House.
