The team&#8217;s official announcement confirms the continuation of the Auckland, New Zealand native, &#8220;for the coming years.&#8221; The specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.\n\nVan Gisbergen, with wins from pole position in Mexico City, Chicago, and Sonoma Raceway, has secured fourth place in the standings for the 2025 playoffs, with three races remaining in the regular season.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I feel like Trackhouse Racing is my home.<\/p><cite>Shane van Gisbergen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAfter conquering three championships in Australia&#8217;s Supercars series, van Gisbergen was recruited by Trackhouse two years ago as part of the Project 91 program, designed to highlight international drivers in NASCAR&#8217;s premier category.\n\nIn the historic Chicago Street Race of July 2023, van Gisbergen made history by becoming the first driver to win in his Cup debut since Johnny Rutherford in 1963.\n\nVan Gisbergen joined NASCAR last year and managed to qualify for the Xfinity Series playoffs with two wins for Kaulig Racing. This year, he moved up to the Cup with Trackhouse, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet, and became the foreign-born driver with the most wins in NASCAR history.\n\nIn Sunday&#8217;s race at Watkins Glen International, van Gisbergen will look to join Chase Elliott and Jeff Gordon as the only drivers with four consecutive wins on road or street courses.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We are witnessing one of the superstars of motorsports. What we are asking him to do carries a high degree of difficulty. He has moved to the other side of the world, learned a new way of racing, and sometimes dominated the competition.
