motorsport posvetio Trackhouse jer su jutros zabeležili prvenac u motogp
From NASCAR to MotoGP, every time Trackhouse has shocked the racing world
Roughly five years ago, Trackhouse did not exist as a race team, but they've surprised a lot of people since then

Trackhouse first appeared as a race team in 2021 when they entered the NASCAR Cup Series as an unremarkable single-car team. However, when they bought Chip Ganassi Racing in its entirety, they shocked the NASCAR world and got everyone to pay attention to them, and not for the last time.
Since then, Trackhouse has branched out and now fields three full-time entries in the Cup Series, as well as signing the biggest rising star in the stock car world. They formed a MotoGP squad with support from Aprilia ahead of the 2024 season, and even took part in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona this year with a GTD Pro entry, placing ninth in class.
This weekend, they hit another milestone as they became winners at the pinnacle of two-wheeled motorsport, winning the MotoGP Australian Grand Prix with Raul Fernandez. The team hadn't even scored a podium before Sunday's triumph.
From last to first in a backup car to win NASCAR's longest race
Chastain appears a few times on this list because he is always so full of surprises (just look at the recent Round of 12 elimination race at the Charlotte Roval), but earlier this year, he earned Trackhouse its biggest win in NASCAR yet. And the way they did it was rather unconventional.
In practice for the 2025 Coca-Cola 600 -- NASCAR's longest race at 600 miles (roughly 966km), the No. 1 car driven by Chastain crashed with a tire failure. The team worked throughout the night to get the backup car ready for this crown jewel event, knowing they were going to start 40th -- last in the field.
The car was readied, and Chastain slowly progressed through the field. He was 20th by the end of Stage 1, 10th by the end of Stage 2, and fifth by the end of Stage 3. In the fourth and final stage, he snatched the lead away from William Byron with less than ten miles left in the grueling event. He went on to capture the checkered flag, leading just eight of 400 laps, and smashing a watermelon as the eighth-generation farmer always does when he is victorious.
