The door is op💫en for Formula 1 star Max Verstappen to enter the NASCAR Cup🐭 Series with Trackhouse 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 168澳洲5最新💦开奖结果:doesn’t want to continue in F1 until his la💦te 30s.

His contract with Red Bull💝 expires at the end of the 2028 season, by when he would be 🐼31 years old.

One possible post-F1 avenue for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Verstappen could be NASCAR, where Red Bull returned this year as 𒁏a sponsor for Trackhouse Racing in select Cup Series races.

Trackhouse also runs an initiative under the Project91 moniker that gives high-profile internati👍onal stars from other forms of racing 💜an opportunity to race in the Cup Series.

Foꦅrmer Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen, f൲our-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves and triple Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen have all contested NASCAR races as part of Trackhouse’s Project91.

Van Gisbergen’s stunning 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 his podcast, Harvick said he believes Verstappen’s ties with Red Bull and his interest in broader racing challenges could open th🧸e door to a similar crossover.

“We've 🌼seen him run some of the other 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 wit﷽h Project91 than it ever has been.”
