Founded in 2021, Trackhouse Racing has quickly emerged as one of the rising organizations within the NASCAR Cup Series. Owned by former NASCAR driver Justin Marks and Grammy-winning recording artist Pitbull, Trackhouse has quickly become a fan-favorite team.
In July 2024, Avenue Sports Fund announced it had acquired a minority stake in Trackhouse Entertainment, the parent company of Trackhouse Racing.
The team was forged out of just an idea from Justin Marks, and a charter leased from Kaulig Racing, allowing the team to put Daniel Suarez in the No. 99 Chevrolet. One season later, came a major move, as Marks acquired the assets and charters from Chip Ganassi Racing, allowing the team to expand to two NASCAR Cup Series entries.
Ross Chastain joined the organization in 2022 as the pilot of the No. 1 Chevrolet, a decision that was quickly rewarded with a pair of victories and a Championship 4, which the Alva, Florida-native earned in spectacular fashion, with a now-outlawed move dubbed the ‘Hail Melon’ to earn the final spot.
Entering 2025, Trackhouse Racing has scored eight NASCAR Cup Series victories – five from Ross Chastain, two from Daniel Suarez, and one from Shane Van Gisbergen.
Van Gisbergen, a three-time Supercars champion, is set to compete full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series for Trackhouse Racing in 2025, after deciding at the beginning of last year to move to the United States and pursue a full-time NASCAR career, after winning on debut at the Chicago Street Course in Summer 2023.
The Auckland, New Zealand-native will pilot the newly minted No. 88 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing, after the team acquired a third NASCAR Cup Series charter from the now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing.
Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez will continue to occupy the No. 1 and No. 99 Chevrolet entries, respectively.
Four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves will attempt to qualify for the Daytona 500 with Trackhouse’s PROJECT91 program, driving the No. 91 Wendy’s Chevrolet. Castroneves will be guaranteed a spot in the field via NASCAR's Open Exemption Provisional (OEP).
As part of a new sponsorship deal with Red Bull, Trackhouse Racing development driver Connor Zilisch will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in the March 2 event at Circuit of The Americas, driving the No. 87 Red Bull Chevrolet.
