CONCORD, N.C. — Trackhouse Racing announced that Red Bull will serve as a primary sponsor for drivers Shane van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch for 25 races during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Red Bull will also serve as the official energy drink of Trackhouse Racing, continuing the partnership that Trackhouse launched at the beginning of 2025.
Zilisch will first sport the iconic Red Bull colors February 15 in the Daytona 500 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, making the Red Bull athlete the youngest competitor to enter the Daytona 500 since Joey Logano in 2009 at the age of 18 years old.
Six-time Cup Series winner van Gisbergen will be behind the wheel of the Red Bull Chevrolet for the first time in 2026 one week later at EchoPark (Hampton, Ga.) Speedway on February 22.
The striking 2026 Red Bull paint schemes feature a timeless matte dark blue base, elevated by shimmering accents that outline the cars’ numbers to exude a bold and commanding presence on track.
Van Gisbergen’s No. 97 Chevrolet showcases dynamic red rays streaking from the lower front tire to the upper rear, sharply contrasting Zilisch’s No. 88, which displays bold blue rays sweeping across both sides of the car.
“It means a lot to have the number No. 97 on my Cup car,” van Gisbergen said. “It’s a number that means so much to my family and me, so to see it on my car for the first time was surreal. I love the red flash designs on both sides of the car. It’s going to look epic on the track.”
Zilisch was impressed seeing his number for the first time.
“It’s so cool to be driving No. 88 in the Cup Series,” Zilisch said. “The number is historic and so many great drivers have driven it. I certainly have big shoes to fill but I can’t wait to get the season started. I love the blue streaks across the side of car. The dark matte blue allows the light blue streaks to pop. I’m excited to have it on track next year.”
