Recorded: August 4th 2026 | Welcome back ot another episode of Racin’ With The Boys. This week we are joined by the owner of trackhouse Racing Justin Marks, and his driver Ross Chastain. The guys start off the episode with the beginning of Justin and Ross’s relationship and how Ross basically took Justin’s job in the truck series. Ross then gets into the crazy story of his main sponsors when he was coming up through the ranks ended up getting raided by the FBI in a billion dollar Ponzi scheme.

Then the guys get into how Justin started Trackhouse Racing and his vision in trying to approach creating a racing team in a different way. Rather than being a side business, he wanted to make it into something where people can root for a whole team rather than just specific drivers. Justin gets into how he knew he wanted Ross to be one of his drivers and Ross talks about whether or not he thought about possibly joining a different team. Ross then gets into what has been coined as the “Hail Melon”, the viral moment of him wall riding to get into the Championship 4 at Martinsville. He gets into what his mindset was when he made the crazy decision, something that if you haven’t seen, you need to pause this and go check it out.

Finally the guys end the show talking about what real “speed” in in NASCAR and how to find those tenths of a second in their cars. Also the struggle that goes into finding that speed and what all goes into that process. Will and Taylor then ask what is would cost for the boys to  sponsor one of the Trackhouse cars for a race, there may be a race where you see a “The Boys” sticker on a car.
