The door is open for Formula 1 star Max 🍷Verstappen to enter the NASCAR Cup Series with Trackhousಌe Racing, according to 2014 champion Kevin Harvick.

Verstappen has made no secret of his desire to explore other disciplines in motorsport, having previously stated that he 16💞8澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:doesn’t want to continue in F1 until his late 30s.

His contract with Red Bull expire🧔s at the end of the 2028 season, by when he would be 31 years old.

One possible post-F1 avenue for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Verstappen could be NASCAR, where Red Bull returned this year as a sponsor for 🤡Trackhouse Racing in select Cup Series races.

Trackhouse also runs an initiative under the Project91 moniker that gives high-profile international stars from other forms of racing an opportunity to race in the Cupඣඣ Series.

Former Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen, four-time Indy 500 wi♒nner Helio Castroneves and triple Supercars champion꧒ Shane van Gisbergen have all contested NASCAR races as part of Trackhouse’s Project91.

Van Gisbergen’s stu൲nning debut victory on the streets of Chicago in 2023 with Project91 led to a full-time Cup campaign in 2024, further strengthening the Red Bull-Trackhouse link.

Speaking on hꦰis podcast, Harvick said he believes Verstappen’s ties with Red Bull and his interest in broader racing challenges could open the door to a similar crossover.

“We've seen him run some of the oth💃er little races that he's done in the past. So I think that if he's not⛦ doing F1, it becomes a lot easier to open those doors,” Harvick said.

"With Red Bull involved, I would say that that door ☂for that to happen is probably way more open with Project91 than it ever ha💎s been.”
