Trackhouse will run three full-time cars in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2025, and expanded into motorcycle championship MotoGP last year.

This year will also see the team run their Project 91 car in the Daytona 500, with four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves set to make his debut in the famous race.

Previous Project 91 driver Shane van Gisbergen will drive full-time for the team for the first time in 2025, having won his first race with the team in 2023 at the Chicago street course.

Will Trackhouse Racing compete in the Indy 500?

"I think when the time is right, we’ll take a real hard look at it. I don’t think that the Trackhouse story will ever be complete without us competing in the world’s greatest open-wheel race.”

He did add that the team may only run Project 91 in one race in 2025, saying: “It comes down to resources, people, bandwidth and we have to take a real look at workflow. We’ve got three (full-time) cars that we’re going to be competing with this year to try to get into the playoffs. That is really the priority of the company.

“When it comes to kind of the future of Project 91 and how we view the program, it really has to fit around competitive and effective workflow for our three full-time cars."
