Helio Castroneves is set to make his NASCAR debut at Daytona International Speedway next month with Trackhouse Racing fielding a car for him to attempt to qualify for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 16. The entry, Project 91, will be a fourth car for Castroneves that will need to earn a spot in the 40-car field either through his single-car qualifying speed or from The Duel qualifying race. Castroneves will be teammates with Ross Chastain, Shane van Gisbergen and Daniel Suarez. Darian Grubb will serve as the crew chief for Castroneves with Wendy’s sponsoring the car. Castroneves, a four-time Indianapolis 500 winner, expressed gratitude for the opportunity and is excited to tackle the challenge in NASCAR and prepare for the prestigious Daytona 500. He aims to join the elite company of Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt as drivers who have won both the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500.
