Justin Marks, owner of a NASCAR Cup Series team, will take the wheel of his team’s No. 87 Chevrolet this July at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Trackhouse Racing recently confirmed that team owner Justin Marks will personally pilot the No. 87 Chevrolet at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a celebrated motorsport gathering known for showcasing a wide variety of vehicles from vintage models to Formula 1 machines. Marks expressed enthusiasm about representing NASCAR at this prestigious event and acknowledged key partners who helped make this opportunity possible.
“This is quite the honor for both Trackhouse Racing and NASCAR,”
said Marks.

The Rising Global Footprint of NASCAR
The Goodwood Festival has increasingly embraced NASCAR, with Cup Series vehicles participating regularly in recent years. NASCAR’s debut points race in Mexico last month drew strong attention and was regarded as a successful step in expanding the sport’s international fan base. Marks emphasized that presenting NASCAR and Trackhouse Racing on an esteemed platform like Goodwood helps introduce the sport to new audiences worldwide.
Performance of the No. 87 Chevrolet in 2025
So far in the 2025 Cup Series season, the No. 87 Chevrolet has competed in three races, driven by Connor Zilisch. These appearances include races at Circuit of the Americas, Charlotte’s Coca-Cola 600, and Atlanta’s EchoPark Speedway. The car’s top finish this season came at the latter venue, where Zilisch secured an 11th place result, demonstrating competitive potential as the team continues to build experience.
Significance of Marks’ Driving Role at Goodwood
Marks taking the wheel at Goodwood is more than a personal milestone; it symbolizes NASCAR’s expanding global ambitions and Trackhouse Racing’s commitment to innovation and engagement beyond traditional circuits. The festival’s eclectic crowd offers a unique chance for NASCAR to connect with diverse motorsport fans and to showcase the speed and excitement of Cup Series racing in an international setting. As the sport aims to widen its global footprint, this event marks a key moment in that journey.
