Trackhouse Racing is an American motorsports organization that competes full time in the NASCAR Cup Series and MotoGP.
History After Leavine Family Racing announced the sale of its assets in summer 2020, former NASCAR Cup Series driver and former World of Outlaws and K&N Pro Series East team owner Justin Marks placed a bid on the sale. LFR eventually sold their assets to Spire Motorsports. On August 14, Marks confirmed the creation of his own team, Trackhouse, and revealed that former Dale Earnhardt Incorporated executive Ty Norris had been brought on to help run the team. At that time, Marks had yet to strike a formal alliance with any manufacturer or team, but already had one potential sponsor lined up. From his ownership of a go-kart track and other family business ventures, Marks had the financial wherewithal to purchase a team without other means. Marks aimed to be an unconventional team owner, with plans to use his team ownership platform as an advocate for STEM education.
On September 17, 2024, it was reported that Ty Norris left the team and was headed to Kaulig Racing.
Ownership The team is owned by Trackhouse Entertainment Group, a venture of Justin Marks and Avenue Sports Fund. The team was also previously partially owned by Grammy Award–winning rapper Armando Christian "Pitbull" Pérez.
On February 14, 2025, Pitbull announced on his X account that his partnership and ownership status of the organization had been terminated effective immediately. No further reason was given.
Acquisitions On January 9, 2023, a consortium consisting of Trackhouse, DEJ Management, Jeff Burton Autosports, Inc., and Kevin Harvick Incorporated purchased the CARS Tour.
NASCAR On June 10, Marks told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that the team may expand to a two-car operation in 2022. On June 30, 2021, Trackhouse announced their purchase of the NASCAR operations of Chip Ganassi Racing and along with it, its two charters for the No. 1 and the No. 42 teams, therefore announcing the team will be two cars in 2022. On September 16, Trackhouse signed a multi-year deal with 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Zane Smith. As part of a partnership deal, Smith would drive Spire Motorsports' third team in 2024, and was expected to join Trackhouse full-time in a third team in 2025, though was released from his contract. On January 11, 2024, Trackhouse announced that they would be hiring Connor Zilisch to a multi-year deal that includes him running in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series, CARS Tour, Trans-Am Series, and IMSA in 2024 and 2025.
The organization currently fields three full-time Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 cars: the No. 1 for Ross Chastain, the No. 88 for Connor Zilisch, and the No. 97 for Shane van Gisbergen.
Car No. 1 history
Ross Chastain (2022–present)
On August 3, 2021, the team announced that Ross Chastain would drive their second car, the No. 1, in 2022.
Chastain began the 2022 season with a 40th place finish at the 2022 Daytona 500 and a 29th place finish at Fontana. He then rebounded with a third place finish at Las Vegas and two runner-up finishes at Phoenix and Atlanta. Chastain scored his first career cup win and Trackhouse's first ever win at COTA. A month later, he claimed his second victory at Talladega. At the 2022 NASCAR All-Star Race, Chastain finished 22nd after going airborne from colliding with Kyle Busch, taking Chase Elliott out in the process. At the Indianapolis road course, Chastain crossed the line second to Tyler Reddick, but was penalized and scored 27th place for crossing the access road during the final restart. Chastain made the Championship 4 after the "Hail Melon" move at Martinsville by driving along the outside wall at full throttle, slingshotting his way to overtake Denny Hamlin and finish fifth. Chastain would be credited a finish of fourth after Brad Keselowski was disqualified following post-race tech inspection due to his car failing to meet the minimum weight requirement. He finished third at the Phoenix finale and a career-best second place in the points standings.
Chastain started the 2023 season with a ninth-place finish at the 2023 Daytona 500. Shortly after finishing fifth at Kansas, Noah Gragson confronted him over a racing incident between them that resulted in Gragson hitting the outside wall. Gragson shoved Chastain, who retaliated with a punch to the face. Chastain scored his first win of the season at Nashville. On July 11, Anheuser-Busch announced it signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with the No. 1 starting in 2024, ending its ten-year partnership with the Stewart–Haas Racing No. 4 at the end of the season. Chastain was eliminated from the Round of 12 at the conclusion of the Charlotte Roval race, but won the season finale at Phoenix and finished ninth in the points standings.
Chastain started the 2024 season with a 21st place finish at the 2024 Daytona 500. He was winless during the regular season and missed the playoffs after lower-ranked Harrison Burton of Wood Brothers Racing and Chase Briscoe of Stewart–Haas Racing won races. Nevertheless, Chastain won during the Round of 12 at Kansas. Following the Martinsville playoff race, the No. 1 was docked fifty owner and driver points and Chastain and the team were each fined 100,000 for race manipulation, when Chastain and fellow Chevrolet driver Austin Dillon formed a blockade to allow William Byron to make the Championship 4. In addition, Surgen was suspended for the Phoenix finale.
Chastain started the 2025 season with a 40th place DNF at the 2025 Daytona 500. He scored his first win of the season at the 2025 Coca-Cola 600.

Car No. 87 history Part-time with Connor Zilisch (2025) On January 23, 2025, it was announced that Connor Zilisch would make his Cup Series debut at Austin in the No. 87 car. He went on to make an appearance at the 2025 Coca-Cola 600 and has additional starts scheduled for the 2025 season through his sponsor Red Bull. The team withdrew the entry from the race at Watkins Glen International following Zilisch suffering a broken collarbone from a fall while celebrating winning the NASCAR Xfinity Series race held that weekend.

Car No. 88 history
Shane van Gisbergen (2025)
On August 24, 2024, Trackhouse announced that they had secured a third charter from Stewart–Haas Racing (which was shutting down following the 2024 season) and Shane van Gisbergen would be driving the No. 88 entry for 2025.
Van Gisbergen started the 2025 season with a 33rd place finish at the 2025 Daytona 500. He struggled throughout the regular season, scoring only one top-ten finish on the first fifteen races. Despite his setbacks, van Gisbergen scored a win and a playoff spot at Mexico. Three weeks later, he earned his second win of the season at the Chicago Street Course, followed by Sonoma a week later for his third. Despite being eliminated after the Round of 16, van Gisbergen scored his fifth consecutive road course win at the Charlotte Roval.
Connor Zilisch (2026–2027)
On November 7, 2025, Connor Zilisch was announced as the new driver of the No. 88 car after a dominant Xfinity Series run in 2025.

Car No. 91 history Part-time with international drivers (2022–2023, 2025–present)
On May 24, 2022, Trackhouse announced the creation of Project91, a part-time entry that aims to put international drivers behind the wheel in the Cup Series. The team was due to compete in at least one race during the 2022 season, with the driver and the race to be announced, before adding additional races in the 2023 season. Two days later, it was announced that 2007 Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen would be driving the No. 91 car at Watkins Glen.
Räikkönen finished 37th after crashing on the tire barrier past the bus-stop chicane on lap 45. In 2023, Räikkönen returned to the No. 91 at COTA, where he finished 29th.
On May 18, 2023, the team announced New Zealander Shane van Gisbergen would make his NASCAR debut at the inaugural Grant Park 220 at the Chicago Street Course. After qualifying in third place, van Gisbergen won the race, becoming the first driver in the modern era of NASCAR, and the first driver in sixty years, to win his debut race. On July 19, 2023, Trackhouse Racing announced van Gisbergen would make his second start of the 2023 season at the Indianapolis Road Course.
On January 6, 2025, the team announced that Brazilian IndyCar driver Hélio Castroneves would drive the No. 91 and run the 2025 Daytona 500. Under NASCAR's new "Open Exemption Provisional" rule, Castroneves is guaranteed a starting position in the race.
