History
After Leavine Family Racing announced the sale of its assets in summer 2020, former NASCAR Cup Series driver and former World of Outlaws and K&N Pro Series East team owner Justin Marks placed a bid on the sale. LFR eventually sold their assets to Spire Motorsports.[3] On August 14, Marks confirmed the creation of his own team, Trackhouse, and revealed that traveled racing executive Ty Norris had been brought on to help run the team.[4] At that time, Marks had yet to strike a formal alliance with any manufacturer or team, but already had one potential sponsor lined up.[5] He had also yet to purchase any equipment.[6] From his ownership of a go-kart track and other family business ventures, Marks had the financial wherewithal to purchase a team without other means.[3] Marks aimed to be an unconventional team owner, with plans to use his team ownership platform as an advocate for STEM education.[7] On January 15, 2021, it was announced that Armando Christian Pérez, better known by his stage name Pitbull, had assumed an ownership role in the team.[8] On May 30, motivational speaker and philanthropist Tony Robbins hinted at investing in the team.[9] On June 10, Marks told Sirius XM NASCAR Radio that the team may expand to a two-car operation in 2022.[10] On June 30, 2021, Trackhouse announced their purchase of the NASCAR operations of Chip Ganassi Racing and along with it, its two charters for the No. 1 and the No. 42 teams, therefore announcing the team will be two cars in 2022.
Car No. 1 history
Ross Chastain (2022–present)
On August 3, 2021, the team announced that Ross Chastain would drive their second car, the No. 1, in 2022.[11][12] Chastain began the 2022 season with a 40th place finish at the 2022 Daytona 500 and a 29th place finish at Fontana. He then rebounded with a third place finish at Las Vegas and two runner-up finishes at Phoenix and Atlanta. Chastain scored his first career cup win and Trackhouse's first ever win at COTA.[13] A month later, he claimed his second victory at Talladega.[14]

Car No. 99 history
Daniel Suárez (2021–present)
On October 7, 2020, the team announced a full-time drive in 2021 with Daniel Suárez as driver.[15] Later, the team announced that it leased a charter from Spire Motorsports to guarantee itself an entry into every 2021 race.[16] Trackhouse aligned with Richard Childress Racing as an engine provider for 2021 as well as operating on RCR's campus in Welcome, North Carolina.[2] Marks chose the 99 as the team number to pay tribute to Carl Edwards.[2] On November 13, former JR Motorsports crew chief Travis Mack was announced as the No. 99's crew chief.[17] Suárez scored the team's first top-five with a fourth-place finish at the Bristol dirt race.[18] With a total of four top-10 finishes, Suárez finished the 2021 season 25th in points.
Suárez began the 2022 season with an 18th place finish at the 2022 Daytona 500. He followed it up with a fourth place finish at Fontana. In addition, Suárez finished ninth at Phoenix and fourth at Atlanta.
