Justin Marks Returns to the Cockpit for Spire in San Diego Truck Race

The Trackhouse founder’s one-off drive turns his team-owner profile into a military-linked showcase for NASCAR’s first Truck street race at Naval Base Coronado.

Overview

  • Spire Motorsports announced Wednesday that Justin Marks will pilot the No. 77 Chevrolet Silverado with primary sponsorship from Jockey for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Naval Base Coronado.
  • Marks is making his first Truck Series start since 2022 and will record his 40th career appearance in the series in the June 19 event.
  • Jockey is using the entry to mark its 150th anniversary and to highlight support for military causes tied to the Naval Base venue.
  • The race will be televised live on FS1 at 7 p.m. ET and is part of a concentrated San Diego race weekend that has attracted other high-profile owner-drivers such as Jimmie Johnson.
  • The deal illustrates inter-team cooperation in NASCAR—Marks will drive for Spire rather than Trackhouse—and raises the event’s publicity by blending owner-driver star power, a corporate military partnership, and national TV coverage.
