🇺🇸 Justin Marks

Justin Marks is a professional driver who races part-time across multiple national American series. His primary indexed career runs from 2008 to 2026, with 77 starts yielding six wins and twelve podiums. He holds an FIA Silver grading, placing him below the full-professional Gold and Platinum grades in endurance racing. Marks is currently active in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Spire Motorsports and remains owner of Trackhouse Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series.[1]

His racing has centred on NASCAR's national series and road-course competition. He competed in NASCAR Xfinity from 2008 to 2023 with Chip Ganassi Racing, taking one win across 36 starts, chiefly on ovals where he ran 24 of his entries. His Cup Series career comprised four starts in 2018. He has contested five Truck Series starts, four of them on ovals. In multiclass endurance racing, Marks ran 17 IMSA WeatherTech GTD starts from 2017 to 2019 for Meyer Shank Racing with Curb-Agajanian, finishing on the podium three times and winning once. His most productive recent work has come in road-course competition; he took four wins and seven podiums across ten Trans-Am starts from 2021 to 2023, then finished second in the 2023 Trans-Am championship standings with three wins and five podiums from seven rounds.[2]

Marks typically finishes behind established professionals. He has raced regularly against Justin Allgaier, the 2018 NASCAR Xfinity champion, and Brendan Gaughan, both drivers with considerably deeper national-series experience, finishing ahead of the latter in their head-to-head meetings but generally behind both. He has finished ahead of Christopher Bell, the 2024 Cup Series champion and 2017 Truck Series champion, on four occasions and beaten Denny Hamlin, the 2025 Cup Series champion, once in their sole meeting. His work at Chip Ganassi Racing placed him alongside other drivers at that team, which has fielded Alex Palou, an elite professional, among its roster.
