Red Bull Continues Partnership With Trackhouse Racing

Trackhouse Racing announced Tuesday that Red Bull will serve as a primary partner for Shane van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch for 25 races during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Red Bull, which will also serve as the official energy drink of Trackhouse Racing, continues a partnership that began at the start of the 2025 season.

Zilisch will sport the Red Bull livery in the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 15. He will be the youngest driver to enter the Daytona 500 since Joey Logano in 2009 at 18 years old.

Van Gisbergen will make his first start in the Red Bull entry for the 2026 season one week later at EchoPark Speedway.

The Red Bull schemes for both Zilisch and van Gisbergen feature dark blue bases. Van Gisbergen's No. 97 Chevrolet includes red accents, while Zilisch's No. 88 includes blue accents.

“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.”

Van Gisbergen and Zilisch combined for 16 wins across the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series during the 2025 season. Van Gisbergen earned five wins in the NASCAR Cup Series, the most by a rookie in a single season, as well as an O'Reilly Auto Parts Series victory at Chicago.

Meanwhile, Zilisch won 10 races en route to a second-place finish in his rookie season in what was then known as the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

Red Bull served as the primary partner for Zilisch's NASCAR Cup Series debut at Circuit of The Americas on March 2. He also made NASCAR Cup Series starts at Charlotte Motor Speedway and EchoPark Speedway.

Trackhouse and Red Bull also partnered in July at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks piloted the No. 87 Red Bull Chevrolet in the prestigious motorsports festival alongside Red Bull athlete 'Mad' Mike Whiddett.
