What’s Happening? Silly Season is officially underway, and that means a lot of movement for NASCAR’s top teams and drivers….
Rick Ware Racing is a bit of a mystery, with one All-Star Car competing alongside Justin Haley in 2024. Haley’s name has popped up occasionally for other rides, but he has publicly declared he is committed to Rick Ware Racing, at least for now. The second RWR seat could potentially be interesting to watch for someone with funding who could potentially gain a full-time ride.
UPDATE: The team brought on Corey Lajoie in September, swapping out Haley. However, RWR made it clear this is just for this year, they will analyze their work with Lajoie and see about 2025.
With Michael McDowell leaving for Spire and intending to field a third car in 2025, Front Row Motorsports was tasked with filling two cars for 2025. Noah Gragson already took over one seat, but there are plenty of candidates for the third ride, according to a recent Bob Pockrass report, including lower series drivers Sam Mayer and Christian Eckes and maybe an outside chance of Zane Smith joining. Team owner Bob Jenkins promised a “young, talented” driver for the third car.
23XI Racing is also linked to purchasing an SHR charter, and the ride seems to be a two-horse race. Riley Herbst brings funding and a partnership with the current 23XI Racing sponsor, Monster Energy. Corey Heim is Toyota’s top lower-series prospect, but could Toyota keep him down for one more season?
What’s Happening? RFK Racing may shake up the Silly Season by expanding its 2025 full-time lineup to three cars. But if…
Several reports suggest that RFK Racing, with the additions of major sponsor Kroger, will open up a third entry in the NASCAR Cup Series next season. However, one major detraction to this is the rumored 23XI expansion, which will also need a charter. If and when RFK gets another Charter via lease or sale, the most consistent name tied to the ride is SHR’s Ryan Preece.
