#1 Pit Crew for Ross Chastain
Driven by Performance and Innovation
LEARN MORE
Focused on performance and quality.
Driven to disrupt and innovate.
For two brands that began our journeys 145 years apart, these are the qualities that brought us together.
When you add “community-minded” to the list, it’s clear to see why we at Jockey—a family-
owned company synonymous with comfort and care since 1876—are pushing the limits of our
comfort zone to partner with some of the world’s fastest drivers at Trackhouse Racing, established 2022.
Marking the first partnership of its kind in our 150-year history, our Jockey family proudly
joined forces with the Charlotte and Nashville-based Trackhouse Racing team. With rising-star drivers
like Ross Chastain, Connor Zilisch and Shane Van Gisbergen, their winning team is already versed in lapping victory lane.
Forcing the world to take notice as they change the racing game with a fresh, disruptive approach and
next-generation fervor, they’re deeply committed to excellence in their craft while staying connected
to their families and true to their vision.
Like us, they’re dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. From honoring our nation’s
veterans and supporting education, to helping kids, families, and farmers, giving back to the
community is a big deal for Trackhouse. Together, we’re excited to team up for joint initiatives
benefitting kids and families in our communities.
According to founder and owner, Justin Marks, part of the Trackhouse mission is to represent
brands with similar values, which is why it’s been such ‘an honor to partner with an iconic American staple like Jockey.’
“We are excited to become part of their history,”
says Marks, “as Jockey is becoming a part of ours.”
Watching the Jockey car speed in excess of 120 mph is pretty cool for our family-owned company.
(Seeing our logo race around at high speeds is typically reserved for the spin cycle.) But what
really matters to us is how the Trackhouse team operates when they’re off the track.
Ross Chastain
You can find him driving the #1 car for Trackhouse Racing and occasionally smashing watermelons to celebrate
wins, but 30-year-old Ross Chastain will tell you that some of his all-time best moments were made on the
farm with his dad.
A native of Alva, Florida, Chastain began competitive racing as a hobby, visiting a nearby track with his dad and brother to break up workdays in the watermelon fields.
“I just wanted to be like my dad,” he recalls. “I wanted to plant watermelons like he did. And because he was interested in racing, I wanted to learn about that, too.”
One of the sport’s busiest drivers, Chastain has logged 200 starts in the top three national touring series over the last three seasons alone. In 2022, Chastain made history at Martinsville Speedway by riding the wall in a legendary (and now banned) move called ‘the Hail Melon.’
Currently living in Charlotte, North Carolina, Chastain advocates for the community that shaped him by supporting causes that help other farmers. He even brands his race cars with the names of watermelon farmers.
“It helps me live in the moment and to be grateful for it all,” he explains.
Connor Zilisch
Connor Zilisch enters his rookie season in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026 behind the wheel of the No. 88 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing.
The 19-year-old prodigy racked up plenty of wins during his first full-time NASCAR season with JR Motorsports. His 10 victories and 8 pole positions outranked any driver in the Xfinity series. Zilisch's victory total was record-making for a rookie driver, and his 4 consecutive wins tied him for most consecutive victories of all time in the series. He won the regular season championship and scored the 100th victory for JR Motorsports at Indianapolis (Ind.) Motor Speedway.
As Zilisch enters his first Cup Series season, the difficult task that awaits is not lost on the young driver.
“Cup racing has been the goal since joining with Chevrolet and Trackhouse,” Zilisch said. “I know the challenge ahead is going to be tough. I want to learn as much as I can. I will not make any predictions for my first season. All I promise is to put in 100 percent effort, learn all I can, and have a little fun along the way.”
Shane Van Gisbergen
Rolling up in the number 97 Chevrolet, Van Gisbergen is known as one of the world's most naturally gifted racing drivers. Many say he is on the fast track to becoming a living, breathing legend. Van Gisbergen is now competing in his second full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series.
The Auckland, New Zealand native enters his third season with Trackhouse Racing after being recruited as a major global talent through Trackhouse Racing's PROJECT91 in 2023, winning his Cup Series Debut at the inaugural Chicago Street Course Race. But his journey to fame didn't start there.
At just 17 years old, Van Gisbergen signed a long-term contract to race V8 Supercars for a top Ford team, Stone Brothers Racing, and in 2007 made his V8 Supercar Championship debut at the Oran Park Round in Australia.
Today the 35-year-old Red Bull athlete has 6 wins in the NASCAR cup series, 4 in the Xfinity series, and a whopping 80 wins in the Australian V8 Supercars championship series - arguably putting him among the most successful drivers in series history.
