Shane van Gisbergen Secures His Future with Trackhouse Racing<\/h2>\n\nCONCORD, N.C. – Shane van Gisbergen, after qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs in his debut season, has signed a multi-year contract extension with Trackhouse Racing.\n\nThe team announced on Friday that the Auckland, New Zealand driver will continue with the team “in the coming years.” The specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.\n\nWith wins from the pole position in Mexico City, Chicago, and Sonoma Raceway, van Gisbergen has secured fourth place in the 2025 playoffs, with three races remaining in the regular season.\n\n\n

I feel like Trackhouse Racing is my home.<\/p>Shane van Gisbergen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAfter winning three championships in Australia’s Supercars series, van Gisbergen was hired by Trackhouse two years ago as part of its Project 91 program, designed to highlight international drivers in NASCAR’s premier series.\n\nIn the inaugural Chicago Street Race in July 2023, van Gisbergen became the first driver to win in their Cup debut since Johnny Rutherford in 1963.\n\nVan Gisbergen moved to NASCAR last year and reached the Xfinity Series playoffs with two wins for Kaulig Racing. This year he moved up to the Cup with Trackhouse in the No. 88 Chevrolet and became the foreign-born driver with the most wins in NASCAR history.\n\nIn Sunday’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 circuits.\n\n\n

We are witnessing one of the superstars of motorsports. What we ask 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. He is one of the greatest.<\/p>Justin Marks, founder of Trackhouse Racing<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nRoss Chastain, driver of the No. 1 Chevrolet, and van Gisbergen are under contract for 2026, but Trackhouse has not yet announced who will drive its third car, as Daniel Su\u00e1rez will leave the No. 99 Chevrolet after the season.\n\nConnor Zilisch, Xfinity Series points leader, who has five wins for JR Motorsports, will make his fourth Cup start on Sunday for Trackhouse Racing and has been mentioned as a prime candidate to take over Su\u00e1rez’s seat.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
