What to expect from the Trackhouse Racing and Dana White partnership?
Trackhouse Racing owners, Justin Marks and the rapper Pitbull insist that this is the right move for them. According to Marks, they wish to work with innovative minds and powerful brands. This is where a person like Dana White comes into the picture, with his Howler Head brand.
Last year, Daniel Suarez enjoyed a relatively alright 2021 Cup Series campaign. In fact, he even boasted of a best finish of 4th at the Bristol Motor Speedway dirt race. Additionally, he was able to reach the Top 10 on three occasions. In addition to that, Ross Chastain is also a decent driver and the outfit can benefit from having two drivers in the stable.
