Trackhouse Racing's Red Bull Chevrolet Camaros

“It’s an incredible chapter in the history of Trackhouse Racing to welcome Red Bull back to NASCAR,” said Trackhouse founder and owner Justin Marks. “Red Bull is one of the most powerful brands in the world and it’s an honor for us to embark on a partnership with such an iconic company.

“Red Bull and Trackhouse share a passion for racing, stories, and memorable experiences. This is a huge win for our sport and a moment that will resonate with the millions of NASCAR fans around the world. I’m thrilled for Connor, Shane, and every member of Trackhouse to partner with who I consider to be the greatest motorsport company in the world. We are more than honored to welcome Red Bull to the Trackhouse Racing family.”

Van Gisbergen has been a Red Bull Athlete since 2016 when the Auckland, New Zealand native raced in the Supercars series where he won titles in 2016, 2021 and 2022 and scored 78 wins and 47 pole positions making him the fourth most successful driver in series history. He also won the Bathurst 1000 in 2020 and 2022.

He made his NASCAR debut at the Chicago Street Race in 2023 as part of Trackhouse Racing’s PROJECT91 program Marks created to give international racing stars an opportunity in NASCAR. Van Gisbergen took advantage, becoming the first driver in 60 years to win his Cup Series debut.

“I have enjoyed a lot of new experiences and met a lot of new people since coming to NASCAR but it is nice to be joined by Red Bull who has been a big supporter of mine for many years back home,” said Van Gisbergen.

“I’d love nothing more than to give Red Bull a victory as a way to thank them for joining myself, Connor and Trackhouse Racing.”

Zilisch, a Trackhouse Racing development driver, stormed onto the racing scene in 2024 compiling an impressive resume that includes winning his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Watkins Glen International plus two Craftsman Truck Series poles, victories at the Rolex 24 in Daytona, the Twelve Hours of Sebring, four ARCA races and a CARS Tour event.

“I was surprised when they presented me my Red Bull helmet and hat last summer and doubly surprised when they told me I would make my Cup debut in the No. 87 with a Red Bull paint scheme,” said Zilisch, who joined Van Gisbergen in a social media video released today announcing the race sponsorship and new partnership with Trackhouse Racing.

“Red Bull is going to bring a lot more eyes to NASCAR and I think everyone will win when that happens.”

About Trackhouse Racing:

After retiring from a driving career in NASCAR and sports cars, Justin Marks, 43, formed the Nashville, Tennessee-based Trackhouse Entertainment Group in 2020 to create a racing brand that transcends motorsports Trackhouse Racing took to the track in 2021 with driver Daniel Suárez and began a partnership with international superstar entertainer Pitbull who has elevated Trackhouse’s presence through inclusion in songs, music videos and named his 2023 album “Trackhouse.”

Midway through the 2021 season, the organization purchased the NASCAR assets of Chip Ganassi Racing and began the 2022 season as a two-car team operating out of its Concord, North Carolina race shop with Suárez and Ross Chastain as drivers. Chastain gave the organization its first victory at Circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas in March while Suárez became the first Mexican driver to win a Cup race when he won at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway in June. In July 2023, New Zealander Shane van Gisbergen won the inaugural Chicago Street race in his first start driving for Trackhouse’s PROJECT91 program Marks created to offer NASCAR opportunities to international driving stars. Trackhouse owns eight Cup Series victories since its inception.

In 2024 Trackhouse Racing joined the MotoGP grid bringing an American team back to the pinnacle of motorcycle racing for the first time in over a decade and announced the Avenue Sports Fund had acquired a significant minority stake in Trackhouse Entertainment Group. Trackhouse Racing acquired a third charter and will run Van Gisbergen fulltime in 2025 joining Suárez and Chastain on the grid. The team also signed 18-year-old Connor Zilisch who will compete full-time in the Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports.

Spire Motorsports Inks Andrés Pérez de Lara for 2025 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Effort

Perez de Lara made his CRAFTSMAN Truck Series debut with Spire Motorsports last June at World Wide Technology Raceway where he qualified 16th and finished ninth.

Veteran crew chief Chad Walter will lead the team from pit road and call the No. 77 team’s efforts in 2025.

“As Spire Motorsports continues to look toward the future, it’s important that we identify who we expect to be long-term contributors to the growth of not only our organization, but to the sport as a whole,” said Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson. “Andres Perez da Lara has a very bright future. He has a huge upside and is already integrated into our processes and methods of preparation. We’re thrilled to officially add him to the Spire family.”

The 19-year-old drove the No. 2 Chevrolet to the 2024 ARCA Menards Series title, racking up 10 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes. He is the first Mexican-born driver to win the ARCA national title in its 72-year history. In his first season of ARCA competition in 2023, he earned 10 top fives and 15 top 10s. He was the series’ championship runner-up in his first attempt at an American national touring series.

In just two season’s on ARCA’s national tour, Perez de Lara scored three poles, 20 top-five and 33 top-10 finishes, logged a 6.4 average start, a 7.5 average finish while pacing the field for 108 laps.

The Mexico City, Mexico native started racing karts when he was 11-years-old before transitioning to L-A Formula 4 and NASCAR Mexico Trucks competition. Perez de Lara is the 2022 NASCAR Mexico Challenge Series champion – the Mexican equivalent to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He earned his first NASCAR Mexico Series victory at Ovalo Aguascalientes Mexico.

Telcel, infintium and Claro will all be featured aboard Perez de Lara’s No. 77 Chevy Silverado and showcased throughout the season. Primary sponsorship for his rookie campaign will be announced at a later date.

“It’s such a great opportunity for me and one that I have been working extra hard to get,” said Perez de Lara. “It’s awesome to work with a team like Spire, and what that means for me as a driver having so many experienced and very accomplished people working with me to make the most of this opportunity. I think I’m looking forward to the competition more than anything. I’m ready to step up my game and ready to work on getting the most out of every race. Daytona can’t come soon enough. All the new tracks I’ll be racing will be another big challenge. I am really looking forward to it.”

Walter has over two decades of experience and called the shots for Spire Motorsports’ No. 71 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series team last season with driver Rajah Caruth. In total, the potent Walter/Caruth pairing accounted for two Cometic Gasket Pole Awards, one win, five top fives, 12 top 10s and a Round of 8 berth in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series playoffs.

He began his career with NEMCO Motorsports in 1993. The Albion, New York native has also served in engineering and crew chief roles for some of NASCAR’s most distinguished teams including Hendrick Motorsports, Dale Earnhardt Inc., Penske Racing, Richard Childress Racing and Michael Waltrip Racing.

Some of his most notable accomplishments include a pair of Daytona 500 victories (2001 & 2003) with Michael Waltrip, along with Cup Series wins with Steve Park and Terry Labonte.

“After two successful seasons with Rajah Caruth, I’m excited to work with Andres Perez de Lara,” said Walter. “I’ve always enjoyed the opportunity to help mold drivers into the future stars of NASCAR. Andres has proven that he can be that next ‘one’. We’ve taken the time to assemble a great race team to surround him. Our goal is always to be competitive, maximize our weekends, and race the right way with our competitors. I’m grateful to our leadership team for having the confidence in me to lead Andres and the 77 team in 2025.”

The season opening Fresh From Florida 250 from Daytona International Speedway will be televised live on FS1 Friday, Feb. 14 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The first of 25 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races on the 2025 schedule will be broadcast live on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

“I’m very excited for the opportunity to race our way into the Daytona 500 with Garage 66. Being in The Great American Race is such an honor, and I can’t thank QuickTie and Carl Long enough for helping put this all together,” said Smith.

The 22-year-old already has NextGen superspeedway race experience, finishing in the Top 15 in the 2023 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona. He has Top 20 finishes in all three of his NASCAR Cup Series starts to date.

Carl Long, who operates Garage 66 with co-owners Rocky and Tom Smith as well as John Jackson, had a tumultuous few days after Mike Wallace was ruled ineligible to compete in the 500 and had to scramble to put another deal together.

“The last few days have been a whirlwind of phone calls and emails after Mike Wallace was not approved to be the driver of our Daytona 500 entry. After several days of non-stop communication with available drivers who could race a Ford, the pieces came together to place Chandler Smith in our car,” said Long.

“I am super pleased to have Chandler in our seat. He has friends behind the wheel of the other cars. At Daytona, we will need all the friends we can find to help race our way into the show!

“There are a lot of really quality cars attempting this race, which could easily make the most exciting part of the 2025 Daytona 500 the race to be in the race. With Roush-Yates power and Chandler behind the wheel, the odds of Garage 66 and our No. 66 team making the event just got stronger.”

The hood of the MBM Cup entry during Speedweeks will carry QuickTie, a proprietary, patented hold-down system for high wind and seismic construction. Quick Tie Products, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary, manufactures and distributes the QuickTie System and a full line of framing hardware for both single-family and multi-family construction.

Coble Enterprises, which specializes in personalized property management for residential and commercial properties, remains committed to the No. 66 team in Daytona as an associate sponsor.

The NASCAR Cup Series action during Speedweeks begins on Wednesday, February 12 with practice and single-car qualifying, leading into the Daytona 500 Duels on Thursday, February 13 that will determine the starting lineup for the Great American Race. The 67th Daytona 500 is scheduled for Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 pm ET.

“This is a great next step for our team,” commented team owner Spencer Boyd.  “We wanted to expand with the right partners and in a manner that we can manage well.  I want to be the truck team that screams patriotism, so with the addition of Ryan Roulette, a B-52 pilot for our military, I could think of no better place to start the No. 67 program.  He has some great experience in ARCA and am delighted he has chosen FRE for the next step in his career.”

Ryan Roulette is currently racing part time in the ARCA Menards series since his first race in 2021.

An eager Ryan Roulette commented on the upcoming season, “I’m looking forward to getting in a truck and representing VFW in the (NASCAR Craftsman Truck) Series for the first time since they were on the hood with Ron Hornaday Jr.  FRE has built a reputation of being a hard-working organization and Spencer is a fair businessman who knows what it’s like being in my position, so I naturally gravitated to all of those attributes when I was looking for the right team to partner with.  They showed great improvement in their first year of operation and I look forward to helping build a strong program with the No. 67.”

The No. 67 has competed in 31 NASCAR Craftsman Trucks Series races since 1998.  Most recently Jeffrey Earnhardt raced it once in 2024 and David Ragan has the most starts in the number with ten races.

The three races for Roulette are yet to be announced as the partnership develops.

WESTEL, Tenn. (Jan. 22, 2025) – The newly opened Flatrock Motorclub now boasts premier driving instruction to augment its status as a premier motorsports destination.

Trevor Bayne, winner of the 2011 Daytona 500 and a racer who earned more than 400 feature victories from karting to stock cars before ascending to the top of the NASCAR Cup Series, has joined Flatrock as its head pro and ambassador. The 33-year-old from Knoxville, Tennessee, located just 30 miles east of Flatrock’s 3.5-mile, 23-turn circuit in Cumberland County, will assume a wide range of roles and responsibilities for the 800-acre facility that features exceptional garages, trackside villas and a state-of-the-art paddock with plans for a premium hotel, destination restaurants, campgrounds, brewery, winery and a natural amphitheater for hosting concerts and events.

Bayne has already begun developing a high-level driver coaching program for Flatrock members, and he is contributing to the design and build of a karting facility that will discover and inspire champion drivers of the future. Off-track, Bayne will use his extensive motorsports network and business experience to drive commercial and operational partnerships while generating new club memberships.

Bayne starts his new role in earnest this weekend at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, where he will be onsite throughout the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the most prestigious endurance race in North America and the kickoff for the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship.

“This is a full-circle moment for me,” said Bayne, who began his racing career at age 5 in go-karts. “I’m proud to be a part of the team that will provide high-level motorsport experiences in my home state of Tennessee, from karting all the way to a future FIM and FIA-certified Grade 2 track.

“Flatrock has been designed by racers for racers, featuring a challenging layout with world-class paving, alongside high-end hospitality amenities and services that make this a motorsports facility like no other.

“I’ve wanted to be a part of Flatrock since I first heard about it, and I’m especially pumped to be back behind the wheel to help our members reach their on-track goals. I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity and am looking forward to the years ahead as dreams continue to become reality at Flatrock Motorclub.”

In addition to driving expertise, Bayne brings business acumen to Flatrock. Following his nine-year NASCAR career, Bayne became an entrepreneur, opening Mahalo Coffee Roasters, a specialty coffee shop in his hometown of Knoxville. He also parlayed his time representing international brands and Fortune 500 companies as a racecar driver into being an expert NASCAR analyst on FOX broadcasts.

Denny Hamlin will drive King’s Hawaiian colors in four races this season

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (January 22, 2025) – Joe Gibbs Racing announced today that the organization has signed a multi-year agreement with King’s Hawaiian. As part of the partnership, Denny Hamlin will drive the No. 11 King’s Hawaiian Toyota Camry XSE in four NASCAR Cup Series races this season.

2025 marks the 75th anniversary of King’s Hawaiian. While the company has grown since Robert Taira founded his first bakery in Hilo, HI in 1950, King’s Hawaiian has remained a family-owned business dedicated to making irresistible food that brings people together, sparking good times and inspiring joy in every bite. Today, they are best known for their best-selling Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, Slider Buns, and Hamburger Buns, as well as the newest addition to the snacking game, irresistibly sweet and salty Pretzel Bites!

“We are thrilled to have King’s Hawaiian join our family at Joe Gibbs Racing,” said Joe Gibbs, owner and founder of Joe Gibbs Racing. “Their dinner rolls and other products have really become a part of the daily lives of so many families over the past 75 years and we look forward to helping them celebrate such a significant anniversary this season both on and off the track.”

King’s Hawaiian is scheduled to be the primary sponsor of Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota for races at Atlanta Motor Speedway (June 28), Daytona International Speedway (August 23), Bristol Motor Speedway (September 13), and Martinsville Speedway (October 26). In addition to its four-race primary sponsorship, King’s Hawaiian will also be featured as a full-season associate partner with Hamlin and the No. 11 team.

“As two family-owned businesses with a shared commitment to excellence and a long-standing tradition of continuous innovation and entrepreneurship, we are thrilled to announce this partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing and Denny Hamlin,” said Raouf Moussa, chief marketing officer for King’s Hawaiian. “This collaboration represents a perfect alignment of values and a unique opportunity to engage with the passionate NASCAR community to showcase our irresistible products and aloha spirit to millions of fans across the country.”

Hamlin will be competing in his 20th full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series. Entering 2025, Hamlin is tied for 12th on the all-time wins list with 54 victories, including three wins last year. 2025 is a year of change for the 44-year-old Virginia native as he will be working with crew chief Chris Gayle after Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Hamlin’s previous crew chief Chris Gabehart has been promoted to the team’s competition director role.

The King’s Hawaiian slate of races lines up well with Hamlin’s on-track success. He owns victories at all four tracks, including five at Martinsville, four at Bristol, three at Daytona, and one at Atlanta.

“We’re very excited to welcome King’s Hawaiian to our team,” said Hamlin. “It’s certainly a product we are very familiar with in our household and a great brand that has made a strong commitment to our sport. I’m looking forward to all the exciting things that we can do on and off the track to elevate their program to the next level.”
