Trackhouse Racing has confirmed the renewal of its partnership with Jockey International, Inc., ensuring the apparel brand’s presence through the 2026 season. This significant trackhouse racing partnership extension means Jockey will continue as a key sponsor on multiple cars, with a major milestone as the brand celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Expanded Sponsorship and Car Appearances for 2026
Founded in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Jockey—long known for its reputation in comfort and quality—has been with Trackhouse Racing since 2022. Under the renewed agreement, Jockey will remain a multi-race primary partner, supplying attire for all Trackhouse Racing employees throughout the extended period. In 2026, Jockey branding will be displayed on Ross Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet and on Cup Series rookie Connor Zilisch’s No. 88 Chevrolet during select races.
“We are pumped to be back with Trackhouse Racing for the 2026 season as we celebrate our 150th anniversary,”
— Matthew Waller, director of PR & partnerships, Jockey.
“This is a collaborative relationship driven by performance, innovation and purpose – qualities that brought our two brands together in 2022. The outlook on this season is very promising for Trackhouse and we are excited to see both Ross and Connor drive their Jockey Chevrolet to victory lane.”
— Matthew Waller, director of PR & partnerships, Jockey.
Historic Moments and Driver Achievements
Jockey’s run with Trackhouse Racing has already seen notable success. In the previous season, Ross Chastain clinched a dramatic win at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, becoming the first driver to win the race after starting last on the grid. Chastain has praised the ongoing partnership and expressed excitement for future collaborations, with both Jockey’s brand and Trackhouse Racing looking to build on past achievements.
“It was fun to get Jockey into victory lane last year at Charlotte,”
— Ross Chastain, Driver.
“They’ve been on my car for several years and I’m excited to work with them again this year as they celebrate 150 years. I’m looking forward to the exciting things they have planned for this season. I have no idea what they are going to ask me, or my pit crew, to wear next.”
— Ross Chastain, Driver.
Connor Zilisch Prepares for Jockey Debut and Celebratory Livery
The upcoming 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season will mark Connor Zilisch’s debut behind the wheel of a Jockey-branded Chevrolet. To highlight Jockey’s anniversary, Zilisch will feature a special celebratory livery at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 15. Zilisch enters the new season following a standout performance in the 2025 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, finishing second overall, registering ten wins in 32 starts, and setting records for top-five finishes and races led as a rookie.
“I’m looking forward to driving the Jockey 150 anniversary car in Las Vegas,”
— Connor Zilisch, Driver.
“I’ve seen some of the campaigns Jockey has worked on with Ross, Justin and the pit crew guys in their underwear which are pretty funny. This is a big year in my career and I’m thankful to have the support from a well-known brand like Jockey.”
— Connor Zilisch, Driver.
Looking Ahead to 2026: Outfits, Milestones, and Race Plans
As part of the fresh agreement, Trackhouse Racing staff will continue donning Jockey wearables throughout the season. While Connor Zilisch’s first outing in Jockey livery is set for March at Las Vegas, Ross Chastain will kick off his season with Jockey sponsorship at Talladega Superspeedway on April 26. The extended deal underscores both brands’ commitment to innovation, performance, and shared values.
This trackhouse racing partnership extension not only strengthens the synergy between a celebrated racing organization and a historic apparel company, but it also promises increased visibility for Jockey during its 150th anniversary. As both Ross Chastain and Connor Zilisch prepare for their runs, fans can expect dynamic campaigns and new milestones for the team, the brand, and drivers alike in the seasons ahead.
