CONCORD, N.C. (Aug. 8, 2018) – Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) announced today that Justin Marks will return to pilot to the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro SS in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) road-course races at Mid-Ohio (Aug. 12), Road America (Aug. 26) and the newest road-course on the series’ schedule, Charlotte Motor Speedway (Sep. 29). Chevrolet Accessories, will serve as a primary sponsor for all three races.
Marks’ first of three races this season will take place at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where he led 43 of the 75 laps en route to his lone series victory in 2016 for Chip Ganassi Racing.
This year, Marks has competed in seven races in the WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, scoring a podium in the GTD division at Belle Isle in June.
An accomplished entrepreneur, Marks is the owner of The Drylake Group, a sports and entertainment development company, GoPro Motorplex and KartSport North America. Marks has also been a car owner in both the World of Outlaws and a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East team where he was part of two-consecutive championships in 2015 and 2016.
“It is always special to be able to race for a quality team like Chip Ganassi Racing. To partner that with Chevrolet Accessories on board for all three of the races that I will run is just special. Starting that three-race run at Mid-Ohio will be a lot of fun for me to go back with this team and try to match what we did in 2016. Chip Ganassi Racing always brings great cars to the race track, so I look forward to the opportunity to try and race hard to get the No. 42 back in victory lane where it belongs”
