Pitbull has ended his partnership with Trackhouse Racing, announcing the decision on social media. The musician stated that the split was “effective immediately.”
In a tweet, Pitbull expressed gratitude for the opportunity to introduce NASCAR to new audiences over the past five years. However, he made the choice to part ways with Trackhouse Racing.
Trackhouse Racing had welcomed Pitbull as part of its ownership group in 2021. The team, led by Justin Marks, acquired the assets of Chip Ganassi Racing and expanded to field two cars.
Pitbull will still be present at the Daytona 500 as the pre-race concert performer. He was originally scheduled to perform in 2024 but due to weather delays, his concert was postponed to 2025.
As part of his pre-race duties, Pitbull will attend a news conference before the race, where he may elaborate on his decision to leave the team.
Trackhouse Racing is currently running three full-time cars in the Cup Series, with drivers Daniel Suarez, Ross Chastain, and Shane van Gisbergen. The team has achieved success on the track, with Chastain finishing second in the points standings in 2022.
