Red Bull Returns to the Streets of San Diego
The NASCAR Cup Series is set to make its long‑awaited return to the streets of San Diego next month, bringing a blend of racing heritage and urban spectacle to Southern California.
Van Gisbergen’s Momentum
Trackhouse Racing will field two Chevrolets that stand out for their striking Red Bull‑inspired paint schemes. Shane van Gisbergen will climb into the No. 97 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 dressed in an all‑silver livery that mirrors the brand’s iconic colors, while rookie Connor Zilisch will drive the No. 88 Chevrolet with the traditional blue Red Bull scheme.
Van Gisbergen, the New Zealand‑born road‑course specialist, arrives in San Diego on the back of a dominant stretch that has seen him win six of the last seven street‑style events on the Cup schedule. His recent form has lifted him into the Chase and positioned him as the leading driver for Trackhouse Racing this season.
Rookie Zilisch’s Challenge
Zilisch, meanwhile, is navigating a challenging rookie campaign, his best result to date being a 14th‑place finish, but the young American has shown moments of raw speed that suggest he could contend for better results as the year progresses.
Red Bull’s Dual Presence
The dual Red Bull liveries mark the first occasion in more than ten years that two Cup cars will carry the energy drink as a primary sponsor in the same race, underscoring the growing partnership between the brand and NASCAR’s expanding street‑race portfolio.
