Trackhouse Racing has signed with Red Bull to be the primary sponsor in 25 races for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. The company will sponsor machines driven by rookie Connor Zilisch as well as Shane van Gisbergen.
Zilisch will be first to arrive at the track with Red Bull branding. He’ll race the Red Bull No. 88 on February 15 in the Daytona 500.
The following week, van Gisbergen will run his Red Bull machine at EchoPark Speedway. He’ll be driving the No. 97 in 2026.

“It means a lot to have the number No. 97 on my Cup car,” van Gisbergen said.
“It’s a number that means so much to my family and me, so to see it on my car for the first time was surreal. I love the red flash designs on both sides of the car. It’s going to look epic on the track.”
“It’s so cool to be driving No. 88 in the Cup Series,” Zilisch said.
“The number is historic and so many great drivers have driven it. I certainly have big shoes to fill but I can’t wait to get the season started. I love the blue streaks across the side of car. The dark matte blue allows the light blue streaks to pop. I’m excited to have it on track next year.”
Zilisch won more races than any other Xfinity Series driver in 2025 with 8 wins. He finished 2nd in the season standings.
