Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport partner for Rolex 24 at Daytona

Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport have partnered to field an entry in the GTD PRO class at the 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona.

This collaboration will see the #91 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R take to the track on January 25-26, 2025, marking a significant expansion for Trackhouse Racing as it ventures into the world of endurance racing, a departure from its traditional NASCAR roots.

The partnership between Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport not only showcases the American outfit’s ambition to broaden its racing portfolio but also highlights its commitment to competing at the highest levels of motorsport.

Team owner Justin Marks—who has a rich history with the Rolex 24 at Daytona, having made his professional debut in the event back in 2001 and being part of a GT-winning entry in 2009—expressed his excitement about the new venture.

“Participating in the Rolex 24 has been a dream since the inception of Trackhouse Racing,” Justin Marks told IMSA.com. “We wanted to make sure we could enter with a top-notch partner in Chevrolet and TF Sport, as well as a driver lineup that could compete for the victory.

“We wanted the best partners because we know how difficult this task will be. We are racing against some of the best sports car teams and drivers in the world. We feel like this group we have put together can compete for the trophy.”

TF Sport owner Tom Ferrier shared his enthusiasm about this partnership noting that it represents an exciting opportunity to kick off their 2025 racing agenda with Corvette Racing.

“This is a fantastic way to kick off our 2025 racing program with Corvette Racing,” Ferrier said. “This team is a combination of sports car, IndyCar and NASCAR all joining together for a common goal, which is to win the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.

“It is such a great event and we cannot wait to get started with this talented team.”

Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport will field a star-studded driver lineup featuring a blend of experienced racers and rising stars: Shane van Gisbergen and Scott McLaughlin, both accomplished racers in the Australian Supercars series, will represent the team alongside Connor Zilisch and Ben Keating.

Van Gisbergen who will be transitioning to full-time NASCAR competition next season has participated in five previous Rolex 24 races making him a seasoned contender in this grueling endurance event.

Meanwhile, Connor Zilisch has already established himself as a rising star in motorsports. The 18-year old made headlines by winning the LMP2 class on his debut at last year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona showcasing his talent and determination.

Joining them will be Scott McLaughlin, an accomplished IndyCar driver and former Supercars champion. McLaughlin has competed in endurance racing before but will be making his debut in a GT car at Daytona.

Rounding out the driver lineup is Ben Keating, an IMSA veteran who brings a wealth of experience to the team. Keating has participated in several editions of the Rolex 24 at Daytona and has achieved considerable success at events like Le Mans, where he won in the GTE Am class with TF Sport.

The partnership between Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport represents a unique blend of talents from various motorsport disciplines—NASCAR, IndyCar, and sports car racing—all united by a common goal: winning at Daytona.

The Rolex 24 at Daytona is renowned not only for its challenging format—requiring teams to race for 24 consecutive hours—but also for its status as one of the most prestigious events on the IMSA calendar.

In preparation for their debut, Trackhouse Racing and TF Sport will participate in several pre-race events leading up to the Rolex 24. One such event is “The Roar Before The Rolex,” a three-day test session that allows teams to fine-tune their setups and strategies ahead of race day.
