Marshall J. Brewer is one of the best-known drivers in AUSCAR history, he raced in the category for a decade and was the third person to win an AUSCAR title when he was crowned champion of the 1994/95 season.

His early races at the Thunderdome were in a yellow-coloured Holden Commodore and his race number #69 provided Neil Crompton the opportunity to make one of his quips when Kim Jane’s #7 went by.

Marshall’s first win came at the Thunderdome in a 110-lap race on May 5, 1990, he would win four more AUSCAR races to take his total to five by the end of the 1997/98 season.

He drove and won races with both a Commodore and a Falcon in AUSCAR, his greatest success as mentioned previously was winning the 1994/95 AUSCAR championship in the Holden Commodore.

He was the fastest qualifier five times, four of those were at the Thunderdome and the other was at Calder Park Raceway.

Marshall moved up to race in Australian NASCAR; he had purchased a Monte Carlo off Denzil Mead and raced it as the #30 before changing the number to #8.

A Calder Park programme once wrote that the car came from Brad Jones which had people puzzled as Brad’s cars were known to have gone overseas.

He won the Round 4 race of the 1998/99 season at Calder Park Thunderdome after holding off George Elliot by under three car lengths.

In late 2017, two of his cars were put up for sale, the Stock Car (informally known as a NASCAR) was a Monaro bodied car with Pontiac branded bumpers, grills etc and the AUSCAR was his #02 Falcon.

The Pontiac Monaro was purchased and made appearances at Calder Park in 2024 and at Adelaide in 2025.

The Ford Falcon #02 was reported as sold.
