Corvette Racing‘s TF Sport announced that it has teamed up with Trackhouse Racing to jointly field a Corvette Z06 GT3.R in the 2025 24 Hours of Daytona.
Trackhouse is perhaps best known for its success in the NASCAR Cup Series. The team, which has a longstanding relationship with Chevy, currently fields race cars for Ross Chastain, Daniel Suárez, and Shane van Gisbergen. The collaboration, titled “Trackhouse by TF Sport,” will field the No. 91 Corvette Z06 GT3.R. This entry will be driven by van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin, Connor Zilisch, and Ben Keating – all championship-caliber drivers from a variety of disciplines.
Van Gisbergen hails from New Zealand and boasts three Australian Supercars Championship trophies, along with a trio of victories in the iconic Bathurst 1000. He tried his hand at NASCAR in 2023, winning his first outing in a Cup Series car, before transitioning to full-time Xfinity Series competition in 2024, when he earned three victories. In 2025, he will race in the Cup Series full time. McLaughlin, a fellow Kiwi, boasts three Supercars Championship titles and has experience in IndyCar.
Keating and Zilisch, meanwhile, are both experienced endurance racers. Zilisch was part of the LMP2 team that won the 2024 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring. Keating won the 24 Hours of Daytona in a GTD machine and claimed the LMP2 title twice, along with two FIA World Endurance Championship titles, both of which were earned behind the wheel of a Corvette race car.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun and we are really grateful to have this opportunity, so a huge thank you to GM and Corvette Racing who helped us put this together,” said Tom Ferrier, owner of TF Sport, in a statement. “Ben is no stranger to us and the other guys need no introduction. A hugely talented bunch and it will be great fun. We will do all we can to win a watch!”
The team and the No. 91 Corvette will debut at the Roar before the 24 on January 16th through 19th, 2024. The 24 Hours of Daytona, meanwhile, is scheduled for January 25th through 26th.
