\u2014 Trackhouse Racing (@TeamTrackhouse) November 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Zilisch, who will drive the iconic No. 88 Chevrolet<\/a> in his rookie campaign in the NASCAR Cup Series, will first carry the colors of Red Bull in the DAYTONA 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 15.<\/p>\n Van Gisbergen, who switches to the familiar No. 97 Chevrolet for his second full-time campaign at NASCAR\u2019s top level, will debut his new-look Red Bull machine at EchoPark Speedway.<\/p>\n Unlike last season, when both Zilisch (who was part-time) and Van Gisbergen ran identical Red Bull-branded paint schemes, this year, the design team at Red Bull and Trackhouse Racing came up with ways to distinguish them.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means a lot to have the No. 97 on my Cup car,\u201d said Van Gisbergen. \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2019s going to look epic on track.\u201d<\/p>\n The No. 88 Chevrolet will feature a splash of blue across both the paint scheme and Zilisch\u2019s firesuit, while Van Gisbergen will have that same splash of color, just in red.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so cool to be driving No. 88 in the Cup Series,\u201d Zilisch said. \u201cThe number is historic, and so many great drivers have driven it. I certainly have big shoes to fill, but I can\u2019t 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\u2019m excited to have it on track next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Red Bull has been a significant part of both Zilisch and Van Gisbergen\u2019s career, both inside and outside of NASCAR. The Auckland, New Zealand-native spent several years racing in Australia with Red Bull backing and won three championships in the Repco Supercars Championship.<\/p>\n Zilisch, who has been regarded as one of the most talented racecar drivers in all of motorsports, was added to the star-studded roster of Red Bull\u2019s athletes<\/a> in September of 2024, and has forged relationships with the brand through both the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series.<\/p>\n The brand was present for Zilisch\u2019s debut in the NASCAR Cup Series, as well as the three-race campaign he contested in the No. 87 Chevrolet throughout the 2025 campaign. Additionally, Red Bull served as a multi-race sponsor of Shane Van Gisbergen in the No. 88 Chevrolet, backing the champion driver in six races \u2014 one of which he won, at Sonoma Raceway.<\/p>\n \t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SI202511250112-1-300x200.jpg\")
