Shane van Gisbergen adds Daytona ARCA race to 2024 schedule
Trackhouse Racing announced that Shane van Gisbergen, who is already running a full Xfinity and partial Cup schedule in 2024, will also compete in the season-opening ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 17. Van Gisbergen will be driving a car prepared by Pinnacle Racing Group, with the car number and sponsorship details to be announced later. He is also tentatively scheduled to participate in the ARCA test at Daytona on Jan. 12-13.
By adding the ARCA race to his schedule, van Gisbergen will have a double-duty day on Feb. 17, as the season-opening Xfinity Series race is scheduled for later that afternoon. He will make his first Cup race appearance of the season at the Circuit of the Americas on March 24, followed by his Cup oval debut at Talladega Superspeedway, where he will be racing in both the Xfinity and Cup series that weekend.
Van Gisbergen made headlines when he won on his NASCAR debut at the Chicago Street Course last year, becoming the first driver in over 60 years to win a Cup race in their first attempt. He also had solid finishes in a Cup race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course and a Truck race at Indianapolis Raceway Park. In total, van Gisbergen has 40 races scheduled across the Cup and Xfinity series in 2024, including various notable events such as COTA, Talladega, Charlotte, Chicago, Watkins Glen, and Las Vegas.
