Shane van Gisbergen set for NASCAR return with Trackhouse Racing at Indianapolis

Three time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen is set to make his return to NASCAR with TrackHouse Racing at Indianapolis next month.

Van Gisbergen will drive the Project91 entry for Trackhouse Racing again little over a month after his Chicago victory, this time at the Indianapolis Road Course on August 13th. Rumors are prevalent that the Supercars champion will make the switch to NASCAR full-time in 2024 or 2025.

Shane van Gisbergen made his NASCAR debut at the Chicago Street Race last month with TrackHouse racing and their Project91. Project91 is a program initiated by TrackHouse Racing which allows international drivers a chance to race in NASCAR.

"I never dreamed this could have all rolled out this way, just getting to race in NASCAR is an opportunity I never thought I would get, but then to win and get another chance this year is beyond anything I imagined." Van Gisbergen said in a statement released by the team.

With Shane van Gisbergen making his return with Project91, this will be the fourth time in over the last two seasons that TrackHouse Racing has entered car no.91. Former F1 champion Kimi Raikonnen drove car no.91 twice, Watkins Glen in 2022 and COTA in 2023.
