Rod Nash Racing is a V8 Supercar racing team, owned by Rod Nash Racing and run in 2007 by Independent Race Cars Australia. 2008 will see the running of the team taken over by Tony D'Alberto Racing.

Rod Nash was a privateer driver in the late 1990s, and received a Level 2 licence when the V8 Supercars began their licencing arrangement. Nash has run Tony Longhurst, Cameron McConville, Craig Baird, Alex Davison and Owen Kelly, as well as Peter Brock's 2002 comeback at Bathurst. In 2006, they had a new driver in Steve Owen and utilising Paul Morris Motorsport engineering after spending a few seasons with Perkins Engineering. In the first round, Owen collapsed behind the wheel from heat exhaustion and was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons. He made a stellar comeback, scoring top 15 positions and had a brilliant run with Tony Longhurst at the Bathurst 1000. In 2007, Owen once again drove with the team campaigning in an older spec VZ Commodore. They became a privteer team over the season as well, losing support from Holden. The team struggled over the beginning of the season, but started to find their form at the Bathurst 1000. Steve finished in the top 20 (19th) while the team finished just outside the top 10 in 11th in the teams' championship.

In 2008, there has been some question marks over their heads with rumors of a partnership with Walkinshaw Performance and a new driver with endurance driver Tony D'Alberto.
