Max Verstappen Considered for NASCAR Move by TrackHouse Racing

TrackHouse Racing owner Justin Marks confirmed that four‑time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen is being discussed for a possible entry into the NASCAR series under the team's Project 91 programme. Project 91 aims to bring high‑profile drivers from other motorsport disciplines into NASCAR and has previously attracted Kimi Räikkönen, Hélio Castroneves and Kevin Magnussen.

Marks said Verstappen has expressed interest in trying different racing categories and that his name is “definitely on the radar.” However, a key obstacle is the brand conflict: TrackHouse fields Chevrolet cars in NASCAR, while Verstappen is linked to Ford through Red Bull Powertrains. Despite the technical and commercial hurdles, Marks did not rule out a future NASCAR appearance for Verstappen.
