Blake Harris moving to Trackhouse to crew chief for van Gisbergen

Shane van Gisbergen will be paired with Blake Harris as the crew chief for his Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet next season in the NASCAR Cup Series, multiple people familiar with the situation confirmed to RACER.

Harris will make the move from Hendrick Motorsports, where he has been paired with Alex Bowman on the No. 48 Chevrolet for four seasons. As their tenure winds down this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the duo is looking for a second and final win together. They earned their lone win in 2024 on the streets of Chicago.

…

As for who will step in at Hendrick Motorsports to work with Bowman, and presumably Connor Zilisch in 2028, it remains unconfirmed, as multiple names have been heard around the garage. One of those is Adam Wall, who has been with the organization’s No. 17 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series effort with Corey Day. But it would mean splitting the duo, who have won four races and go into Saturday night’s finale with a shot at the series championship.
