CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA – WeatherTech will serve as the primary partner for the No. 91 “Trackhouse by TF Sport” Corvette driven by an all-star driver lineup when it competes in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s 63rd annual Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26.
Trackhouse Racing’s NASCAR drivers Shane van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch along with INDYCAR star Scott McLaughlin and longtime sports car racer Ben Keating will drive the No. 91 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R that will compete in the GT Daytona (GTD) PRO class for the 24-hour race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.
“We began a relationship with Trackhouse Racing last year in NASCAR and now we will be part of their sports car program in this year’s Rolex 24,” said WeatherTech founder David MacNeil.
“Every sports car fan recognizes WeatherTech and we feel like Daytona International Speedway is our second home. I think (Trackhouse founder and owner) Justin (Marks) has put together a talented team and we are ready to go racing in 2025.”
The Bolingbrook, Illinois, company is a leading manufacturer of premium American-made automotive accessories and home and pet care products. The company has a long history in sports car racing in America. It became the IMSA title sponsor in 2016 and extended its agreement through 2030.
WeatherTech will also serve as the primary sponsor of Van Gisbergen in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series and Zilisch in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025.
“We are honored WeatherTech joined us on this project and we feel this combination of drivers, race teams, manufacturer and corporate sponsors are as good as any competing in Daytona this year,” said Marks who won the Rolex race as a driver in 2009.
Trackhouse Racing has fielded NASCAR Cup Series cars since 2021 visiting victory lane eight times with drivers Ross Chastain, Daniel Suárez and Van Gisbergen – all in Chevrolets. It joined the MotoGP grid in 2024, bringing an American team back to the pinnacle of motorcycle racing for the first time in over a decade.
The TF Sport team was founded by Tom Ferrier and headquartered in Slinfold, West Sussex, England, United Kingdom. It has enjoyed a winning pedigree since the outset, claiming multiple championship titles in the British GT Championship, the GTWC endurance championship and the Michelin Le Mans Cup. TF Sport claimed victory at the Spa 24 Hours (2019) and two wins at Le Mans 24 Hours (2020) and (2022). The team were also crowned World Endurance champions in 2022.
The Trackhouse Racing Powered by TF Sport team makes its on-track debut during a three-day test called the Roar Before the Rolex 24 on Jan. 16-19, and returns for practice, qualifying for the 24-hour race on Jan. 23-26.
