Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks, who put his reputation on the line and convinced sponsors to risk millions on an audacious plan to make the Cup playoffs with an inexperienced and unheralded rookie, suggests a deep run awaits the No. 88 Chevrolet.

In yet another waxing of the field that has legitimized talk of him potentially becoming NASCAR's best road racer ever, Shane van Gisbergen cruised to victory at Watkins Glen International, earning his fourth road course win in a row and his fourth overall this season.

The 36-year-old NASCAR Cup Series rookie celebrated his new contract extension with Trackhouse Racing by winning his fourth road-course race of the season Sunday, Aug. 10, at Watkins Glen. He led 38 of the 90 laps and finished 11 seconds in front of runner-up Christopher Bell.
