The new guy is going to be busy next year.
Shane Van Gisbergen will run the entire 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule with Kauling Racing as part of a development contract he signed with Trackhouse Racing.
Trackhouse said he’d be competing in the top three NASCAR series to some extent, but the full-season Xfinity Series ride was something of a surprise.
“After winning in Chicago, I could not stop thinking about racing full time in NASCAR,†the 34-year-old New Zealander said in a press release.

“I am still stunned at how quickly this has all come together. I must thank the NASCAR industry and fans for embracing me and allowing me to chase this dream. I respect every driver who has put in the work to make it to the Cup Series, and I am ready to put in that same effort. I am anxious to get started.â€
The three-time Australian Supercars champion is also set to race in seven Cup Series events for Kauling, including two trips to Talladega and a return to the Chicago Street Race, where he won for Trackhouse Racing his first time out in a Cup Series car.
He’s also entered in the Circuit of the Americas road race, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Watkins Glen International race and the fall Las Vegas race.

“We know Shane will be incredibly competitive at the road course events in both the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity series, but we wanted to get him as much experience on NASCAR ovals as possible, so I am really excited about his 2024 schedule,†Trackhouse Racing founder and owner Justin Marks said.
Van Gisbergen is also planning to enter some Truck Series races and dabble in late model racing.
