Trackhouse Racing’s NASCAR driver lineup receives big update for 2025

Trackhouse Racing is currently in a sticky situation. The NASCAR team has four drivers under contract, with only two seats in the Cup Series. Thankfully, Trackhouse Racing is expected to acquire one charter from Stewart-Haas Racing , giving it more flexibility. However, which driver is most likely to drive the third entry in 2025?

According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, the most likely scenario is Shane van Gisbergen driving a third car for Trackhouse Racing while Zane Smith looks for a ride under contract or is loaned to another team like Spire Motorsports in 2024. van Gisbergen has two wins in the Xfinity Series, while Smith sits last in the point standings in the Cup Series.

van Gisbergen would likely be the best option for Trackhouse Racing’s third car to compete in 2025. Smith is a few years away from competing at NASCAR’s top level, while van Gibsergen is already a proven winner. Trackhouse Racing has a problem with its number of seats and drivers, but there is some much-needed clarity on a specific direction now.
