Kubota Extends With Trackhouse Through 2027
Written by I Dig Sports
CONCORD, N.C. Kubota Tractor Corporation and Trackhouse Racing announced that Kubotas familiar black and orange paint scheme will appear on the teams Chevrolets through the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Kubota will also continue as the Official Tractor Company of Trackhouse Racing as it has since 2022.
Its awesome to continue an authentic partnership with a world-renowned brand like Kubota, said No. 1 Chevrolet driver Ross Chastain, an eighth-generation watermelon farmer. Kubotas support of Trackhouse Racing and agriculture means the world to me, and I hope to get them back to victory lane this year.
Chastain piloted the No. 1 Kubota Chevrolet six times in 2024 and secured three top-five and five top-10 finishes, including his victory at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City on Sept. 29.
Chastains Trackhouse Racing teammate Daniel Suárez will race the Kubota paint scheme at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth on May 4.
Its great to have a brand like Kubota supporting our race team, said Suárez, who earned his second Cup Series victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway in February 2024. I think their continued partnership says a lot about them and Trackhouse Racing and how to build a successful relationship.
As part of the partnership extension, Kubota will serve as the primary sponsor when Trackhouse Racing driver Shane van Gisbergen drives JR Motorsports No. 9 Chevrolet in the Aug. 9 Xfinity Series race at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International.
The New Zealander is competing in the Cup Series in 2025 as a rookie after winning three Xfinity races in 2024.
Im an outdoorsy guy and its great to be connected with a brand like Kubota, said Van Gisbergen who plans to run at least three more Xfinity races in 2025. Ive already put their equipment to use building out a racetrack at my house, so the timing has been perfect. Im looking forward to driving the Kubota car in the Xfinity race at Watkins Glen and going for the win.
For the third consecutive year, Kubota and Trackhouse Racing are putting the partnership in overdrive to support farmer veterans. In the races Kubota is serving as the primary sponsor of Chastains No. 1 Kubota Chevrolet, a $10,000 donation will be made to the Farmer Veteran Coalition for a top-10 finish.
The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is a national nonprofit organization that assists military veterans and currently serving members of the Armed Forces to transition into careers in farming, and since 2015, Kubota has partnered with FVC on the Geared to Give program which has provided more than $1 million to the coalition in the form of organizational support, grants to veterans and 46 pieces of donated equipment.
Chastains top-10s throughout the last two seasons have generated a total of $70,000 in donations.
