Trackhouse Racing, under the leadership of owner Justin Marks, continues its meteoric rise across the motorsport world. Known for shaking up NASCAR since its inception in 2021, Trackhouse is now turning its attention to one of endurance racing’s crown jewels: the 24 Hours of Daytona. Marks, a former endurance racer himself, has labeled the iconic event as “the greatest race in the world,” marking a bold statement from a man whose team thrives in NASCAR’s high-octane environment.
Trackhouse Joins Forces with TF Sport and Corvette Racing for Daytona Debut
For its Daytona entry, Trackhouse Racing has teamed up with TF Sport and Corvette Racing to field a Corvette Z06 GT3.R in the prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona. This collaboration is a testament to Marks’ ambition to expand Trackhouse’s influence beyond NASCAR. The team’s driver lineup includes an eclectic mix of talent:
- Shane van Gisbergen (three-time Supercars champion and NASCAR Cup Series race winner)
- Connor Zilisch (rising NASCAR star)
- Scott McLaughlin (IndyCar standout and former Supercars champion)
- Ben Keating (endurance racing veteran and Le Mans winner)
This powerhouse roster will carry the hopes of Trackhouse’s first venture into endurance racing, showcasing a blend of NASCAR, Supercars, and global motorsport expertise.
A Personal Triumph for Justin Marks
Justin Marks has a deep personal connection to the Daytona 24 Hours, having competed in the event earlier in his career. Speaking about his return, Marks shared his heartfelt enthusiasm:
“This one has special meaning. The final few years of my participation in this event, I couldn’t help but want to come back one day as a fan and just appreciate what I think is the greatest race in the world. Luckily, thanks to Team Chevy, TF Sport, and this amazing roster of drivers, I get to do just that.”
Marks’ passion underscores his commitment to pushing Trackhouse Racing into new frontiers while maintaining reverence for motorsport’s rich traditions.
A Dream Come True for the Drivers
For Shane van Gisbergen (SVG), the opportunity to compete in Daytona alongside such an accomplished lineup is a dream realized:
“This is a dream come true to get to drive alongside Scotty, Connor, and Ben. I love the 24 Hours of Daytona, and it’s awesome to do this with this team. Justin, Chevrolet, and TF Sport have done a great job putting this all together.”
SVG’s excitement mirrors the energy of the entire team as they prepare to take on the grueling endurance challenge. The 24 Hours of Daytona will test their skills, strategy, and stamina, but the group is laser-focused on securing success.
The Legacy Continues
Trackhouse Racing’s Daytona 24 entry is more than just an ambitious move—it’s a statement of intent. With their NASCAR Cup Series team fielding three full-time cars in 2025 and a growing presence in MotoGP, Trackhouse is rapidly becoming a multi-disciplinary motorsport powerhouse.
Marks’ declaration that Daytona is the “greatest race in the world” aligns with his broader vision: blending tradition with innovation to create a lasting legacy in motorsport.
