Budding star Shane van Gisbergen has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with Trackhouse Racing, the team announced Friday.

The 36-year-rookie has won three races this season -- at Mexico City, the Chicago Street Course and Sonoma.

The deal with Trackhouse Racing and owner Justin Marks will keep van Gisbergen in the No. 88 Chevrolet.

'I feel like Trackhouse Racing is my home,' van Gisbergen said in a news release from the team. 'Trackhouse gave me the opportunity to race at Chicago in 2023. That was just a one-race deal, and everything that has happened since then is because of the chance Justin took on me.

'The men and women at Trackhouse have helped me feel at home in this new challenge, and I've been loving every minute of it. We still have a lot of work to do, but I couldn't be happier.'

After his 2023 debut, the New Zealand native was a full-time racer in the Xfinity Series for Kaulig Racing in 2024 and also received some NASCAR Cup assignments.

This year, he has been a full-time Cup driver and Marks is highly impressed with his performance.

'We are getting to watch one of the superstars of racing,' Marks said in the news release. 'What we are asking him to do carries a high degree of difficulty. He's moved to the other side of the world, learned a new form of racing and at times dominated the competition. He's one of the greatest.'

van Gisbergen's three wins this season all came on road courses and occurred during a span of five races. He will be looking for road course win No. 4 of the campaign on Sunday at Watkins Glen.
