CONCORD, N.C. — Trackhouse Racing’s PROJECT91 has ventured to the other side of the planet to recruit three-time Supercars Champion Shane van Gisbergen to race its No. 91 Chevrolet in the inaugural NASCAR Cup Series Chicago Street Race on July 2. 1 Chevrolets with drivers Daniel Suárez and Ross Chastain in the NASCAR Cup Series. Van Gisbergen plans to arrive in America in late June and accompany the team to the June 25 Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway then be in the Trackhouse race shop the week of the Chicago race. “There is so much I have to learn about these cars and how the races are run,” said van Gisbergen. The 33-year-old van Gisbergen drives a Chevrolet Camaro in the Supercars Championship for Triple Eight Race Engineering winning championships in 2016, 2021 and 2022. Van Gisbergen isn’t a stranger to America, having finished second in the 2015 24 Hours of Daytona in the GTD class. Both Trackhouse Chevrolets have raced at the front of the field repeatedly in 2023. Van Gisbergen will join teammates Suárez and Chastain in the first-ever NASCAR Cup Series street race located in downtown Chicago.
