Trackhouse Racing president has exited the team, may sign a deal with Kaulig Racing: Report

A recent report says that the Trackhouse Racing Team's president has abruptly left the NASCAR Cup Series team. The Athletic's Jordan Bianchi has suggested that Trackhouse's president Ty Norris has moved on, for a different opportunity.

Trackhouse Racing Team was founded by Justin Marks in 2021 following Leavine Family Racing's exit from NASCAR in 2020. The team is owned by Trackhouse Entertainment Group, a venture between Marks and Grammy Award-winning rapper Armando Christian "Pitbull" Pérez. Norris, who has been with the team from the start, played a key role in its success and growth within NASCAR.

Norris has built a nearly 35-year career in NASCAR, starting in 1990 with RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. In 1996, he joined Dale Earnhardt, Inc., where he played a significant role until he left the organization in 2004 to join Michael Waltrip Racing. Bianchi has suggested that the 59-year-old might be moving to Kaulig Racing, which competes in both the Xfinity and Cup Series.

"Trackhouse Racing president Ty Norris has amicably left the team, sources tell The Athletic. Hearing Norris may be headed to Kaulig Racing in an unknown capacity."

If true, this would be following other changes made in the Trackhouse garage this season. Earlier this year, it was announced that the team would be parting ways with Cup Series driver Zane Smith, who is currently piloting the #71 entry for Spire Motorsports. Moreover, Trackhouse also announced Xfinity Series driver Shane van Gisbergen as part of their Cup Series lineup for the 2025 season, effectively replacing Smith.

Trackhouse Racing currently fields two entries in the Cup Series, driven by Ross Chastain(#1) and Daniel Suarez (#99), running on Chevrolet engines. Chastain nearly missed a spot in the playoffs, while Suarez is running for a championship title.

Trackhouse Racing's Daniel Suarez comments on NASCAR having two Latino drivers at Watkins Glen

NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya was called back up by 23XI Racing for Watkins Glen to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Mobil 1 brand. Montoya drove the #50 Toyota for 23XI in the playoff race.

Ahead of Go Bowling at the Glen, Trackhouse Racing driver Daniel Suarez was asked to share his thoughts on having two drivers representing the Latino community in the Cup Series. Suarez shared he felt "very fortunate" and called it a "huge privilege."

During the pre-race conference at Watkins Glen, Suarez said:

"I feel very, very fortunate to be one of the Latinos, and be the one that’s been here for a little while. It’s been a huge responsibility and a huge privilege. The Spanish Heritage Month coming up, that’s one of the months that for me personally, is the most fun of the year," [8:40].

In the race, Suarez secured a P13 finish while Juan Pablo Montoya crossed the finish line in P32.
