Trackhouse’s Kansas Slide Confirms Rebuild Status

Team leaders blame balance problems tied to Chevrolet’s new body.

Overview

  • Trackhouse, following Sunday’s Cup race at Kansas, logged finishes of 26th for Ross Chastain, 29th for Connor Zilisch, and 36th for Shane van Gisbergen four laps down.
  • Owner Justin Marks has described the organization as being in a rebuilding phase after the Bristol race earlier in April.
  • Crew chief Randall Burnett said the new Chevrolet body has left the cars off-balance and short on grip, which he argued has masked the drivers’ talent.
  • Frontstretch reported widespread offseason staff turnover across all three garage bays that effectively reset the team’s setup process.
  • Fan backlash intensified in posts on Monday, with calls for major changes or even selling charters and comparisons to Stewart-Haas Racing tied to concerns about leadership focus.
