Marshall J Brewer is one of the best known drivers in AUSCAR history, he raced in the category for many years and was the 1994/95 champion becoming just the third person (Tony Kavich and Brad Jones were first and second) to win an AUSCAR title.
His early races at the Thunderdome were in a yellow coloured Holden Commodore and his race number 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, records are incomplete between 1995 and 1999 but he also won a race at Adelaide listed on YouTube as being in 1998 and another at the Thunderdome when driving the Falcon.
He drove both a Commodore and a Falcon in AUSCAR with his greatest success being in the Commodore when he won the title in 1994/95.
Marshall also raced in Australian NASCAR for several years racing in cars sponsored by the likes of Pennzoil and was a very easy car to spot on the track particularly at places like Bathurst and Albert Park.
He won the Round 4 race of the 1998/99 season after holding off George Elliot by under three car lengths.
In late 2017, two of his cars were put up for sale, the NASCAR is a Monaro bodied car with Pontiac bumpers, grills etc and the AUSCAR is his #02 Falcon.
