We see NASCAR Cup Series drivers in truck races all the time. In fact, many cup drivers run trucks to practice before racing in the Cup cars. However, what we don’t see often is Cup Series Team Owners race in the Truck series. But that might just change. And the fans are pointing their finger at Justin Marks.
In a recent interview, Niece Motorsports’ General Manager, Cody Efaw, revealed something very fascinating. Although, he said, “there will be a Ross Chastain Spotting,” that’s not the most important part of the interview.
🗣 "There might be a Cup team owner in a Truck. There's some stuff I'll throw out there that might be happening." #NASCAR

Of course, this caught everyone off guard, and no one was expecting it. So, the fans got to their own theories on who could it be Amid all this, many fans thought it will be Justin Marks.
Probably Justin Marks.

Probably Justin Marks if I had to guess

Justin Marks probably gonna run

Justin Marks would be the most logical choice since NIECE is a Chevrolet team. Longshots, maybe Brad Daugherty or Rick Ware?

It does make sense because Justin Marks raced in the Cup Series till 2018, and Trucks before that. Moreover, Ross Chastain will probably run in a Niece Motorsports truck, linking more between the two, considering, Justin Marks is co-owning the team that the Watermelon Man drives for.
But fans had other guesses too!
Richard Childress?

It has to be Roger Penske right?

I think it’ll be either Rick Hendricks and roger Penske. Obviously. 🤪

At the end of the day, we can only guess. Only time can tell which team owner will really be running a truck.
Justin Marks Is Not Surprised That His Team Is Winning Races
Trackhouse Racing is a Cup series team owned by a retired driver, Justin Marks, and Rapper, Pitbull. It’s safe to say that Trackhouse has exceeded everyone’s expectations, after winning three races this season along with one All-Star win.
And, team Co-owner, Justin Marks isn’t surprised that they are winning as he said, “I tell people I’m not surprised that we’re a winning race team because I wouldn’t have started this project if I didn’t think, truly believe, that the opportunity existed to build a new race team in this sport that could win,”
