“Door open” for F1 champion Max Verstappen to race in NASCAR with Trackhouse
According to 2014 champion Kevin Harvick, the door is open for Max Verstappen to join the NASCAR Cup Series with Trackhouse Racing.
Verstappen has expressed his interest in exploring other motorsport disciplines and has mentioned he doesn’t plan to continue in F1 until his late 30s.
His contract with Red Bull is set to expire at the end of the 2028 season, at which point he would be 31 years old.
NASCAR could be a potential avenue for Verstappen post-F1, especially with Red Bull’s involvement at Trackhouse Racing through their sponsorship.
Trackhouse Racing’s Project91 program has provided opportunities for international stars like Kimi Raikkonen, Helio Castroneves, and Shane van Gisbergen to compete in the Cup Series.
Kevin Harvick believes that Verstappen’s connections with Red Bull and his interest in diverse racing challenges could pave the way for him to make a crossover to NASCAR through Project91.
