DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen has secured a full-time ride in the NASCAR Cup Series for 2025 with Trackhouse Racing.
Team owner Justin Marks made the announcement Saturday at Daytona International Speedway with van Gisbergen by his side. The 35-year-old New Zealander will drive the No. 88 Chevrolet for Trackhouse, taking over a number that was most recently used in the Cup Series by NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Hendrick Motorsports.
Van Gisbergen will join current Trackhouse drivers Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez as the team expands next season. Trackhouse bought a third charter — the contract that guarantees cars entry into each Cup Series race — from Stewart-Haas Racing, which is shutting down its current four-car operation at the end of this season.
“I never thought it would happen this quick,” van Gisbergen said.
Marks previously announced that Trackhouse and Zane Smith will part ways after this season. Trackhouse loaned Smith to Spire Motorsports for this season because Trackhouse had only two charters.
