Popstar Pitbull joined NASCAR racer Justin Marks in the 2021 season to built Trackhouse Racing. They have been fielding cars for the last four years and has positioned themselves as one of the team with the most growth potential by securing their place in the championship conversation, with their driver Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain securing multiple wins.
Their exploits aren’t limited to NASCAR as they have recently acquired a MotoGP team and is having solid rookie season. Justin Marks and co isn’t ready to stop with the MotoGP team and the expansion of Trackhouse into a three car Cup team, fielding No:88 Chevy for Shane van Gisbergen from 2024. They have IndyCar and IMSA aspirations as well.

In his recent appearance in the happy Hour Podcast of Kevin Harvick, Marks confirmed that he and the team has been planning to field cars in the Rolex 24 at Daytona and has the line-up to do it. He also wants to see his brand in the Indianapolis 500 race, and they are working towards making it a reality.
I would love to put a Trackhouse car in the Rolex 24. I think now that we’ve got sort of a group of athletes to be able to fill out a car, I think that’s a very real possibility. It’s now been a secret that the Indianapolis 500 is a race that I think is important for the Trackhouse brand to be at. We’re working on that right now… I’m not going to buy a car and start an IndyCar team. So, it’s got to be the right partner.
Justin Marks said via Happy Hour podcast.
Justin Marks explains reasons for the explorations
The Trackhouse owner went on to explain the reasons behind the team’s willingness to explore uncharted territories. He pointed out that his team isn’t doing things for the sake of it, instead are doing it as part of their business expansion and keeping the team’s unique culture alive.
Those are the types of things that will move the needle for Trackhouse. We’re not going to do things just to do it. …That’s how I think about growing the business, and it was just exploring things that continue to be uniquely Trackhouse.
Justin Marks said.
The plans Marks has in place for the Chevy team shows the huge ambitions and goals they have set for themselves. All these moves can greatly help NASCAR to grow as well. It will be interesting to see how these decision plays out in the future.
