TrackHouse Racing is an American professional motorsports organization competing primarily in the NASCAR Cup Series and expanding into other racing disciplines such as MotoGP and IMSA. Founded in 2020 by former racer Justin Marks and backed by business ventures including venture capital and music star Pitbull (Armando Christian Pérez), TrackHouse has rapidly emerged as a competitive and innovative presence in NASCAR.
Early Days and Background
TrackHouse Racing was officially announced in August 2020 after Justin Marks sought to establish a new NASCAR team following Leavine Family Racing’s asset sale. Initially operating with leased charters and Chevrolet manufacturer support, the team’s first NASCAR entry was the No. 99 car driven by Daniel Suárez starting in the 2021 Daytona 500. TrackHouse rapidly grew by acquiring Chip Ganassi Racing’s NASCAR assets in 2021, establishing a two-car team for 2022. Ty Norris, a veteran NASCAR executive, was brought on to help manage racing operations, though he left the team in late 2024. The team is headquartered in Concord, North Carolina, and as part of its larger entertainment business, it also competes in MotoGP with operations based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Driver Lineup and Car Details
For the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series, TrackHouse Racing fields three full-time Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 cars:
No. 1 Chevrolet driven by Ross Chastain (crew chief yet unspecified)
No. 99 Chevrolet driven by Daniel Suárez
No. 91 Chevrolet under the Project 91 program, which featured international stars (not active full-time in 2024 but planned for a 2025 return)
For 2025, a significant roster update includes the addition of Shane van Gisbergen, the New Zealand driver and three-time Supercar champion, who will compete full-time in the Cup Series after leaving Australian Supercars. The No. 91 car (Project 91) is also expected to return for select events, including Helio Castroneves attempting the 2025 Daytona 500. Together with Chastain and Suárez, this gives TrackHouse a three-car chartered presence plus occasional entries.
Manufacturer affiliation remains Chevrolet, with their Cup cars identified as Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 models.
Net Worth
As a private racing and entertainment group, exact net worth figures for TrackHouse Racing are not public. However, the team has made strategic acquisitions, including purchasing Chip Ganassi Racing’s assets and part of the CARS Tour in 2023 alongside partners. Their growth and investment in multiple racing disciplines, plus backing from venture funds and celebrity partners, underscore a considerable financial foundation without disclosed public valuation.
Legacy in NASCAR
Though a relatively new team founded in 2020 and starting competition in 2021, TrackHouse Racing quickly made its mark by achieving historic milestones. Daniel Suárez became the first Mexican driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race under the TrackHouse banner in 2022. Ross Chastain has earned multiple victories and finished runner-up in the 2022 Cup standings, emphasizing the team’s competitive emergence. TrackHouse Racing is distinctive for its Project 91 initiative, bringing international drivers like former Formula One champion Kimi Räikkönen and Supercar champion Shane van Gisbergen to NASCAR, broadening the sport’s global appeal. The team also competes in other series such as MotoGP and IMSA, enhancing its sports legacy in motorsport diversity.
Recent Controversies
No major controversies have been reported involving TrackHouse Racing between 2024 and 2025. However, in February 2025, Pitbull announced via social media the immediate termination of his partnership and ownership in the team without providing reasons.
Key Highlights from the 2024 and 2025 Seasons
The 2024 season saw TrackHouse Racing continuing its three-car presence in the NASCAR Cup Series, with consistent performances from drivers Ross Chastain and Daniel Suárez. Project 91 was inactive in 2024 but planned to return in 2025 featuring Helio Castroneves attempting the Daytona 500. The 2025 season marks a major expansion with Shane van Gisbergen joining full-time, increasing international representation within the team. TrackHouse’s approach includes marketing innovation and progressive presentation of the sport, aiming to grow the fanbase and competitive success. The team’s multi-series approach, including MotoGP rider additions like Ai Ogura in 2025, reflects broader ambitions beyond NASCAR.
