Key Information

Marks has competed in sports car and stock car racing, competing in the ARCA Racing Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He also served as a road course ringer in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Cup Series.

Early years

[edit]

Marks was born in St. Louis, Missouri. During his youth, he went with his grandfather (who lived in Iowa), to see local Midwest racers such as Dick Trickle, Ken Schrader, and the Wallace brothers battle on dirt tracks.[1] His family moved to Menlo Park, California, when Marks was eight.[2] Marks attended race school while in high school and in 1998 competed in his first race, in the street stock division at Altamont Raceway Park in Tracy, California. At the same time as his racing career was beginning, he was attending California State University with the intention of obtaining a degree in sports marketing. Marks withdrew from college fourteen credits shy of completing his degree to focus on racing.[3]

Racing career

[edit]

Sports car racing

[edit]

At the age of eighteen, Marks entered the SCCA Regional Racing Series, and later the Speed World Challenge Series. With success in the SCCA, Marks moved to the Rolex Sports Car Series GT Class in 2004 where he met good friend Joey Hand. Switching between the GT class and the World Challenge, Marks racked up four wins, eight podiums, and thirteen top tens between the two series. In 2005 Marks again raced in the Rolex Sports Car Series where he won three races with teammate Hand. At the same time, Marks teamed with Bill Auberlen in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for Turner Motorsport, finishing third in points with five poles and five wins in nine starts.

In 2006, Marks left road racing to pursue a career in NASCAR. In 2006, Marks raced for RAB Racing in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, driving their No. 65. Although he did not pick up any wins in his two years there, Marks turned many heads with his driving ability. In 2007 he was picked up by Germain Racing of the Craftsman Truck Series to drive their No. 03 truck. Marks again impressed many with an eighth-place finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This cemented his future as the driver of the No. 9 Crocs/Construct Corps Toyota for 2008, running for Rookie of the Year.

In 2008, Marks raced in the Truck Series, the Nationwide Series, and the ARCA RE/MAX Series for a number of teams. He won the pole position for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway as well as the ARCA RE/MAX Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Marks returned to the Camping World Truck Series for 2011, driving for Turn One Racing in the No. 66 Chevrolet.

Marks during the 2013 Toyota/Save Mart 350

In 2013, Marks made his Sprint Cup Series debut at Sonoma Raceway in the 2013 Toyota/Save Mart 350, driving the No. 7 of Tommy Baldwin Racing, substituting for Dave Blaney. Marks had little experience in the Generation 6 cars, having run the cars only once in a road course test at Virginia International Raceway.[4]

The following year, Marks was signed by Turner Scott Motorsports to run the No. 31 in the Nationwide Series at Road America and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.[5]

On February 10, Marks announced he would return to the Cup Series in 2015, driving the No. 29 for RAB Racing in the Daytona 500, while also running the No. 29 in the Xfinity Series and the No. 35 with Win-Tron Racing in the other Daytona races.[6] However, Marks failed to qualify for the 500, and crashed out of both the Xfinity and Truck races, finishing last in the latter. In June, he joined Front Row Motorsports for the Toyota/Save Mart 350.[7]

In the summer of 2015, Marks ran the road course races at Road America and Mid-Ohio in the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing, owned by Harry Scott, Jr.

Marks' 2016 Xfinity car.

In 2016, Marks expanded his Chip Ganassi Racing schedule in the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 42 in several races starting at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.[8] At the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Marks led a race-high 43 laps in a race plagued by rain to claim his first NASCAR victory; he dedicated the win to former Ganassi driver Bryan Clauson, who had died earlier in the week in an accident.[9]

In 2017, Marks returned to the Xfinity Series driving the No. 42 for Chip Ganassi Racing at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course finishing ninth and at Road America finishing fourth. On October 15, Marks joined Tommy Baldwin Racing's No. 7 for his return to the Cup Series at Talladega Superspeedway. It was his first non road course start in the Monster Energy series. However he finished last after getting into an incident.[10]

In 2018, Marks ran the season opening Daytona 500 in the No. 51 for Rick Ware Racing with support from Premium Motorsports.[11] He brought the car home twelfth, which was by far his best oval track finish in the Cup series. He later partnered with Premium Motorsports to drive the No. 15 at Sonoma and the Charlotte Roval.[12]

In 2022, he returned to NASCAR, competing in the No. 41 Chevrolet for Niece Motorsports at Mid Ohio.[13]

On June 20, 2023, Kaulig Racing announced that Marks would drive the No. 10 Chevrolet in the inaugural Xfinity Series race on the Chicago Street Course.[14]

Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series return

[edit]

Marks returned to the Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series for the 2009 season driving the TRG No. 67 No Fear/Construct Corps Porsche with teammate Andy Lally. The team began the season with an impressive victory in the GT class at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.

ARCA Racing Series

[edit]

On December 17, 2009, Lakeville, Minnesota's Win-Tron Racing announced that Marks would drive their No. 32 Toyota in the 2010 ARCA Racing Series season.

Entrepreneurial career

[edit]

Marks' father, Michael, is a partner in the private equity firm Riverwood Capital, board member of GoPro and a minority owner in the Golden State Warriors.[15] He also served as an executive at Crocs and the interim CEO of Tesla Motors.[16][15]

Marks and Michael McDowell operate a karting facility called the Trackhouse Motorplex, located 30 miles north of Charlotte, North Carolina. The facility opened in October 2012, and was inspired by another karting track located in Parma, Italy.[4]

In 2015, HScott Motorsports owner Harry Scott Jr. took control of TSM's K&N Pro Series East team, and partnered with Marks to field four cars under the banner HScott Motorsports with Justin Marks for Scott Heckert, William Byron, Justin Haley, Dalton Sargeant,[17] and Rico Abreu.[18] Marks also owned a World of Outlaws team, Larson Marks Racing, with Kyle Larson before relinquishing his stake to Larson in 2018 to focus on sports car racing.[19]

In August 2020, Marks partnered with former NASCAR executive Ty Norris to create Trackhouse Racing, a Cup Series team that debuted in 2021. The team operates on a cause marketing strategy that includes a STEM education program for minority populations in the United States.[20][21]

On June 30, 2021, Trackhouse announced their purchase of the NASCAR operations of Chip Ganassi Racing, with its two charters for the No. 1 and the No. 42 teams, therefore announcing the team will be two cars in 2022.[22] A driver, sponsors, and number would be announced later.[23] It was later announced that the 1 car would turn to Trackhouse with Ross Chastain driving it. Marks got his first win as a car owner on March 27, 2022, with Chastain, winning at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

On January 9, 2023, a consortium consisting of Trackhouse, DEJ Management, Jeff Burton Autosports, Inc., and Kevin Harvick Incorporated purchased the CARS Tour.[24][25]

Entrepreneurial Ventures

Pre-Trackhouse Business Activities

Prior to establishing Trackhouse Entertainment Group in 2020, Justin Marks pursued entrepreneurial interests centered on motorsports infrastructure and investments. Through his firm, The DryLake Group, Marks acquired and managed the Motorplex, a high-end go-karting facility in , which emphasized professional-grade tracks, event hosting, and family-oriented racing experiences. The venue, co-developed with fellow driver Michael McDowell and launched around 2012, generated revenue through memberships, rentals, and competitions, positioning it as a key training ground for aspiring racers near the Charlotte motorsports hub. Marks also invested in regional racing series, including a stake in the CARS Tour, a short-track sanctioning body featuring and Pro Late Model divisions that debuted events in 2020 but built on prior planning. These ventures leveraged his racing background to foster talent development and event promotion, while providing diversified income streams outside professional driving. In parallel, Marks held board positions and advisory roles in consumer brands, drawing on acumen to inform his operations, though specific executive tenures at firms like remain attributed more directly to paternal influence in public records.

Founding and Growth of Trackhouse Entertainment Group

Justin Marks founded Trackhouse Entertainment Group in 2020 after relocating to , establishing it as a multifaceted entertainment and motorsports venture aimed at blending racing with broader media and experiential initiatives. The company's inaugural focus was on launching a team, with Marks announcing on October 7, 2020, the formation of to field the No. 99 Chevrolet for driver starting in the 2021 season. This entry marked Trackhouse's entry into professional , leveraging Marks' prior experience as a driver and entrepreneur to secure charter status and sponsorships, including from funding partners like billionaire and philanthropist . Growth accelerated in 2021 through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, notably the purchase of Racing's assets on June 2, 2021, which expanded Trackhouse from a single-car operation to a two-car team with the addition of the No. 42 (later renumbered to No. 1) for . Rapper Armando Christian Pérez, known as Pitbull, joined as a co-owner and equity partner that year, infusing the organization with entertainment crossover appeal and contributing to initiatives like the "Trackhouse Culture" branding that emphasized fan engagement and music integration. By mid-2021, Trackhouse had secured additional backing from investors, enabling facility upgrades at its , base and the development of hospitality experiences at race tracks to differentiate from traditional teams. Subsequent expansions diversified Trackhouse beyond NASCAR, including the 2023 launch of Project 91, an initiative for high-profile one-off entries featuring international drivers like and to boost visibility and talent scouting. In , the group entered global two-wheel racing by partnering with in MotoGP, acquiring operational control and rebranding efforts to align with Trackhouse's entertainment ethos. These moves, coupled with acquisitions like the CARS Tour stock car series and development of the Trackhouse Motorplex entertainment venue, positioned the company as a rapidly scaling entity with reported revenues supporting a of over 200 by 2023, though exact financials remain private. Marks has attributed this trajectory to a disruptive approach prioritizing over convention in NASCAR's .

Key Acquisitions and Expansions

In June 2021, Trackhouse Entertainment Group, under Justin Marks' leadership, acquired the NASCAR Cup Series assets of , including two s, all racing equipment, and operations, effective after the 2021 season. This move expanded Trackhouse from a single-car team—initially established via a prior purchase from for Daniel Suárez's 2021 entry—to a three-car operation for 2022, incorporating drivers and AJ Allmendinger alongside Suárez. The acquisition, valued for its immediate access to proven infrastructure without piecemeal negotiations, positioned Trackhouse as a competitive mid-tier amid NASCAR's system constraints. Further growth materialized in August 2024, when Trackhouse secured a third Cup Series charter from the dissolving Stewart-Haas Racing, enabling a full-time fourth entry in 2025 for in the No. 88 Chevrolet. This acquisition, amid NASCAR's ongoing charter negotiations and team consolidations, reflected strategic capitalizing on market opportunities to bolster driver development pipelines, including international talent via initiatives like Project 91. Beyond direct charter purchases, Trackhouse pursued allied expansions, such as a 2023 technical and developmental partnership with to field Zane Smith in the No. 71 Chevrolet, enhancing resource sharing without full ownership integration. These moves underscored Marks' focus on scalable infrastructure, though they drew scrutiny for relying on alliances amid rising operational costs in . In July 2024, incoming investment via a significant minority stake from the Avenue Sports Fund provided capital for sustained expansion, diversifying beyond pure racing acquisitions into broader entertainment synergies.

Team Ownership at Trackhouse Racing

Driver Selections and Performance Highlights

Trackhouse Racing, under Justin Marks' leadership, initially fielded a single NASCAR Cup Series entry with Daniel Suárez in the No. 99 Chevrolet for the 2021 season, selecting the Mexican driver for his road course prowess and potential to represent international markets, building on Suárez's prior Xfinity Series success. In 2022, Marks acquired the Chip Ganassi Racing operation, retaining Ross Chastain in the newly designated No. 1 Chevrolet, chosen for his consistent top finishes and aggressive driving style that had yielded multiple poles and strong results in Ganassi's equipment. This expansion preserved continuity while emphasizing drivers capable of maximizing Chevrolet engine performance and adapting to NASCAR's ovals and road courses. The team's driver strategy evolved to incorporate global talent, exemplified by signing for a part-time schedule in 2023 after his debut win in the Chicago street race, which highlighted his Supercars background translating effectively to stock cars. Van Gisbergen's selection for full-time duties in the No. 88 starting 2025 underscored Marks' focus on road course specialists amid NASCAR's increasing international venues. Similarly, one-off appearances like Kimi Räikkönen's 2022 Watkins Glen entry aimed to boost visibility, though it yielded a 37th-place finish due to handling issues. Performance highlights include eight Cup Series victories through 2025, with Chastain securing wins at (March 2022) and (June 2023), propelling him to the Championship 4 via the controversial "Hail Melon" wall-ride maneuver at Martinsville in November 2022. claimed the team's first win at in June 2022, becoming the first Mexican driver to triumph in the series. Van Gisbergen extended this success with victories at (July 2023), (June 2025, the series' first international points win since 1958), and Sonoma (2025, marking three straight road course poles-to-wins). The trio's results peaked with a first-ever triple top-10 finish at Watkins Glen in August 2025 (Chastain 4th, van Gisbergen 6th, 9th).

Shane van Gisbergen2023–present (full-time 2025)3 (through 2025)Chicago 2023 debut win; Mexico City 2025 international victory; road course dominance.
These selections have yielded 14 wins, 56 top-5s, and 112 top-10s across 177 starts, positioning Trackhouse as a mid-tier contender with emphasis on versatile, high-upside talent over established veterans. Marks' approach prioritizes drivers who align with the team's disruptive ethos, though it has drawn scrutiny for occasional on-track incidents tied to Chastain's style.

Strategic Business Decisions

One of Justin Marks' pivotal strategic decisions was the acquisition of Racing's assets on June 1, 2021, which included two full-time s, the No. 42 and No. 1 Chevrolet teams, and driver . This move allowed Trackhouse to rapidly scale from a single-car operation—initially fielded with on a one-year lease in 2021—to a competitive multi-car entity without the protracted costs of organic development. Marks, who had previously driven for Ganassi, leveraged personal connections to negotiate the deal, emphasizing that it extended beyond mere s to encompass infrastructure, personnel, and competitive , positioning Trackhouse for immediate contention rather than gradual buildup. To further solidify financial stability and growth, Marks pursued external capital infusions, including a significant minority stake sold to the Avenue Sports Fund on July 17, 2024, valuing Trackhouse Entertainment Group at an undisclosed amount but enabling expanded motorsports ambitions. Earlier, in December 2023, the group sought to fund diversification, culminating in the 2022 launch of Trackhouse360, a content and events division backed by seven-figure investments, aimed at monetizing beyond racing through media, live experiences, and brand extensions. Marks signed Trackhouse to NASCAR's 2025-2031 charter agreement on September 9, 2024, describing it as a framework conducive to long-term amid industry uncertainties, prioritizing guaranteed streams over litigation risks. Marks differentiated Trackhouse's model by adopting a brand-centric approach, relocating operations to Nashville in 2020 to integrate racing with entertainment and culture, partnering with minority owner Pitbull (Armando Christian Pérez) to attract non-traditional sponsorships and audiences. This included forging alliances like the April 2025 digital innovation partnership with Very Good Ventures for fan engagement technologies and emphasizing scalable sub-brands over legacy naming conventions, fostering a "" identity that generates partnerships rather than solely relying on them. Such decisions contrasted with conventional teams' industrial-park bases and sponsor-dependent structures, aiming for broader revenue diversification amid the series' high operational costs, which Marks has characterized as a "scary business."

Criticisms of Management and Driver Handling

Trackhouse Racing's decision to mutually part ways with driver Daniel Suárez at the conclusion of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season drew attention to potential shortcomings in driver-team communication and development. Suárez stated that he felt "unheard" and lacked chemistry with the organization, contributing to his sense of not being a priority despite his road course strengths, such as a win at Sonoma Raceway in 2023. Team owner Justin Marks described the split as "personally very difficult" but necessary, emphasizing it was time to move on after Suárez's inconsistent oval-track results and the team's evolving priorities. Critics within the NASCAR community questioned whether better internal handling could have retained Suárez's talents, given his status as the only Mexican-born driver to win a Cup race, highlighting broader concerns about Trackhouse's approach to nurturing mid-tier talent amid lineup shifts. The team's performance dip in 2025, marked by struggles to compete with mid-pack Chevrolet rivals despite adding a third car, has fueled criticism of Marks' management in sustaining early success from –, when contended for the championship. Marks acknowledged an "underwhelming evolution" since those title-contending years, attributing challenges to deeper-pocketed competitors' data advantages, though observers like suggested internal resource misallocation or overexpansion strained engineering focus. This decline, with and failing to replicate prior wins, raised questions about strategic decisions in crew chief assignments and car setups, potentially reflecting inadequate adaptation to 's evolving technical demands. Post-race tactics employed by Trackhouse drivers at World Wide Technology Raceway on September 7, 2025, elicited scrutiny over management oversight of rule compliance. Chastain and van Gisbergen drove through grass and rubber marbles en route to pit road, a maneuver suspected of adding weight to vehicles before inspections, prompting NASCAR to issue warnings to teams against such practices after the checkered flag. NASCAR managing director Brad Moran indicated the league would clarify guidelines moving forward, viewing the incident as a team-level lapse in procedural discipline rather than isolated driver error. This event underscored criticisms that Trackhouse's aggressive operational style, while innovative, occasionally borders on bending regulations, with Marks' leadership implicated in permitting high-risk behaviors to chase competitive edges.

Industry Influence and Commentary

Perspectives on NASCAR Economics and Governance

Justin Marks has characterized NASCAR team ownership as inherently precarious, describing it as a "scary, multimillion-dollar " where teams face daily financial exposure without the safeguards afforded by traditional franchises. This perspective stems from the sport's reliance on sponsorships, performance-based payouts, and agreements, which provide guaranteed race entries and a share of media rights revenue but do not fully insulate against operational costs exceeding $20 million annually per car. Central to Marks' views on NASCAR economics is the charter system, formalized in 2016 and renegotiated in 2024 for the 2025-2031 period. Unable to acquire a independently despite multiple attempts, Marks secured two by purchasing outright in July 2021 for an undisclosed sum, bypassing the secondary market's high barriers. He signed 's final charter offer in September 2024 after over two years of negotiations, viewing it as a pragmatic foundation for sustainable operations despite unaddressed team demands, such as higher revenue guarantees and cost controls. Marks emphasized that the deal, which includes fixed payouts and supply commitments, enables Trackhouse to "build a around" long-term , though it imposes challenges like limited expansion rights for non-chartered entries. Regarding governance, Marks acknowledges deep-seated distrust between and its teams, attributing it to protracted bargaining and power imbalances, yet he frames the sanctioning body as holding ultimate authority in "its sport." He rejected accusations of in the 2024 talks, where issued a take-it-or-leave-it proposal with a 30-hour deadline, arguing instead that a firm endpoint was essential to prevent indefinite stalemates, as teams and had resolved about 75-90% of issues collaboratively beforehand. Unlike and , which opted out and filed an antitrust in October 2024 alleging monopolistic practices, Marks signed to prioritize stability, noting that a loss would preserve the quo for compliant teams without broader disruption. Marks advocates for innovative governance adaptations to bolster economic resilience, as seen in Trackhouse's model blending racing with entertainment via partnerships like that with Pitbull, which generated sold-out sponsorships and diversified revenue streams. He supports initiatives like Project91 to import international talent, aiming to expand NASCAR's global market and mitigate domestic economic dependencies, though he cautions that structural reforms must balance NASCAR's control with team incentives to foster growth.

Advocacy for Competitive Reforms

Justin Marks has publicly supported NASCAR's Next Gen car, introduced in 2022, as a key reform to promote competitive parity by standardizing 47 parts and diminishing the advantages of teams with superior research and development budgets. This shift reduces the "arms race" in engineering, emphasizing driver skill over technological disparities and lowering entry costs for newer organizations like Trackhouse Racing. Marks has noted that such measures were essential for his team's viability, stating he would not have pursued ownership under the prior cost-intensive model dominated by established entities. In charter negotiations spanning over two years, Marks advocated for a comprehensive framework defining team-NASCAR relations, culminating in the 2025-2031 agreement signed by 13 teams on September 6, 2024, amid a "take it or leave it" ultimatum from NASCAR. The deal includes revenue guarantees, cost-sharing provisions, and operational guidelines aimed at financial stability, which Marks described as enabling teams to "build a business around" despite acknowledged challenges like insufficient cost reductions from the Next Gen era. He emphasized its role in fostering sustainable partnerships that could sustain competitive fields by mitigating economic pressures on mid-tier teams. Marks has expressed respect for teams like that opted against signing and pursued antitrust litigation against on October 2, 2024, praising their "conviction and commitment" to extracting better terms for broader industry equity. While signing himself to prioritize forward momentum, his comments underscore a push for ongoing reforms in revenue models and governance to prevent dominance by legacy operations and encourage diverse entrants. This aligns with his broader vision of disrupting through modernized schedules, inclusive ownership structures, and initiatives that enhance on-track contention.
