Trackhouse Racing will field the No. 88 full-time in 2025
Shane van Gisbergen shocked the world last season when in his first NASCAR Cup Series race he went to victory lane on the Chicago Street Course. Now, for 2025, he’ll be racing full-time.
Trackhouse Racing acquired a third charter. For 2025, he’ll race as teammates to Ross Chastain and Daniel Suárez.

The three-time Supercars champion will drive the No. 88. The number was made famous by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Darrell Waltrip, Dale Jarrett, Donnie Allison, Ricky Rudd, Rusty Wallace, Buddy Baker and others.
Dale Earnhardt Jr stated, “I was lucky to run a few numbers with so much rich history. Excited to see Shane van Gisbergen and Trackhouse add a new chapter to it. 88 will have a good home there.”
Justin Marks comments
“This is a big day in so many ways for Trackhouse Racing, Shane, Chevrolet and race fans around the world,” said Trackhouse Racing founder and owner Justin Marks.
“This is an important step for our organization and it’s a credit to the men and women at Trackhouse Racing whose hard work and success the last few years has led to us expanding to three Cup teams in 2025.
“It’s also a big step up for Shane who took a chance on Trackhouse Racing, moved here from New Zealand and now joins the most competitive stock car racing series in the world. Everyone will get to watch one of the world’s racing superstars compete in the NASCAR Cup Series next year.”
“Shane is the type of driver we had in mind when we created PROJECT91,” said Marks added.
“He took advantage of his opportunity and that experience in Chicago launched a whole new chapter in an already successful story.”
Shane van Gisbergen comments
“This is what I have planned for and I am ready,” Shane van Gisbergen comments.
“I know there is a tough learning curve ahead, but the best way to learn is to go out and do it. I feel I have made progress running the Xfinity Series this year with Kaulig Racing and I can’t thank everyone there enough. I look forward to the Cup Series. Those drivers and teams are the best in the world and it will be an honor to be part of their races.”
