But would Verstappen ever give it a try, himself? The four-time Formula 1 World Champion has said no in the past, but Trackhouse founder Justin Marks did not shut that door in a recent SPEED interview with Kevin Harvick.<\/a><\/p>\n Red Bull sponsors Trackhouse, and two of the team’s three Cup stars are Red Bull athletes — Van Gisbergen, and also Connor Zilisch.\u00a0<\/p>\n “They gotta get a different power unit in that F1 car for that to happen first, said Marks, as Trackhouse is a Chevrolet team. There’s brand conflicts and all that stuff, but it’s certainly on his radar. Through the Red Bull ecosystem, we’ve had those conversations and that’s a guy that wants to do all different types of racing. I think, right now, it’s tough to do that, but I certainly wouldn’t count it out for the future.”<\/p>\n As for any upcoming races for the Project 91 car, Marks did not elaborate, but it appears that Magnussen’s San Diego race may be its lone start of the 2026 season. In that race, he drew the ire of Noah Gragson, and was involved in a tense post-race confrontation with the Front Row Motorsports driver. <\/a>Marks noted that Magnussen has the perfect personality for NASCAR, and the run-in with Gragson did not faze him one bit.<\/p>\n Read Also:<\/p>\n We want your opinion!<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motorsport.com?<\/p>\n
