“We’re Not Gonna Start an Xfinity Team” – Justin Marks Drops Truth Bomb on SVG’s Future in NASCAR With Big 2025 Revelation

In a plot twist that would make even Hollywood’s top scriptwriters envious, the Kiwi sensation Shane van Gisbergen is about to give NASCAR a serious jolt of adrenaline! Picture this: A racing maverick from New Zealand, a rookie in the world of NASCAR, and a downpour in downtown Chicago help him win his debut race.

In a recent interview on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Justin Marks revealed some exciting plans for Shane Van Gisbergen’s future in NASCAR. As fans eagerly await the schedules for the upcoming season, Marks confidently announced that Van Gisbergen will play a significant role in the Xfinity Series in 2025.

Justin Marks’ game-changing plan for Shane van Gisbergen

Shane van Gisbergen isn’t just any rookie; he’s a three-time Supercars champion. But his transition from supercars to stock cars won’t follow the typical script. Instead of diving straight into the deep end of the Cup Series pool, Trackhouse Racing has devised an accelerated development plan. Van Gisbergen will be racing across NASCAR’s three top national series, and rumor has it there might be some regional racing in late models, too. It’s all about getting him acclimated to the oval-track racing world, superspeedways, and the challenges he’s never faced in his career.

“What we’re looking at for 2024 is, you know, a number of Truck races out of trackhouse racing and a bunch of Xfinity, some trucks and some late model racing. And it’s with, obviously, you’re right.”

“It’s, you know, we’re not going to start an Xfinity team, or I’m going to start a truck team. But we have a lot of great partners that we work with inside the Chevrolet camp and just the other ones that we’ve got,” Marks stated during his interview. 

Justin Marks further added, “So we have an opportunity to sort of curate a year of development for him where, you know, he can really learn the lifestyle, and he can learn oval track racing and late model racing and just sort of, you know, how to put something together. So, you know, if there’s an opportunity here for him to be a cut driver in 2025, we need to make sure that 2024 prepares him for that.”
