The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season isn’t here quite yet. However, multiple drivers and teams have confirmed their plans for next season. Here is every confirmed NASCAR Xfinity Series team and driver combination. Make sure to check back here throughout the Silly Season and into the off-season for any updates that may happen.
Sheldon Creed had a new season with a new team at Joe Gibbs Racing. However, his time in the No. 18 has resulted in the same old story for Sheldon Creed. Now, after a season of winless races, Creed is heading to the newly named Haas Factory Team in 2024, taking over the 2023 Championship-winning No. 00 car.
Carson Kvapil is finally getting his shot at the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025. Much like JRM did with Josh Berry, just a few years ago, the team scored the young Late Model Champion valuable sponsorship for next season with Bass Pro Shops on board the No. 1.
Justin Allgaier keeps getting older and keeps winning races. JR Motorsports rewarded that with an extension for the 38-year-old driver. While he seemingly can’t win the Xfinity Series Championship, his longtime sponsor, Brandt, and his one to three wins a season are enough to keep him around.
Daniel Dye made his full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut in 2023. With the late GMS Racing last year, Dye had one top-ten finish. This year, with McAnally–Hilgemann Racing, Dye has one top-five and seven top-tens. This performance locked him into the Truck Series Playoffs and earned him a full-time spot with Kaulig Racing. In seven part-time starts with Kaulig this year, Dye has two top-tens.
Josh Williams’ first season of his multi-year contract with Kaulig Racing has not gone the way many hoped it would. The driver who made his name for “parking it” at Atlanta has hung around the middle of the pack for the majority of this season. Hopefully, 2025 will be better for the 30-year-old driver.
Harrison Burton has had an up-and-down 2025. Early this season, Burton lost his ride at Wood Brothers Racing to Josh Berry. However, Burton reversed course after this loss, winning at Daytona in August. Now, Burton takes over the No. 15 for AM Racing next season, hoping to revive his career.
Christian Eckes was the steal of Silly Season for most NASCAR fans. Kaulig Racing, who was rumored to perhaps give up on their developmental program at the beginning of the season, signed Eckes to a long-term deal in August.
Just two seasons removed from his spat with Ty Gibbs at Martinsville, Brandon Jones is returning to Joe Gibbs Racing in 2025. Jones raced at Gibbs for several seasons leading up to his ride at JR Motorsports. Later in his first stint at JGR, Jones seemed to find a winning ability. However, that has not been the case at JRM. Hopefully, a reunion can help the Series veteran get back in victory lane.
Austin Hill, despite winning consistently, can’t seem to win a NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship. Nor can he seem to get a ride in the Cup Series. While he enters another year at RCR, hopefully 2025 can be the veteran’s last season in the Xfinity Series.
A driver that will probably remain at their family-owned team in 2025 is Ryan Sieg. Sieg came up short at Texas Motor Speedway this season. While he has yet to win a race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Sieg, and RSS Racing keep getting better, hopefully 2025 will be another step in the right direction.
Sam Mayer had lots of wins but little consistency at JR Motorsports. Once Chevrolet’s top prospect, Mayer is headed to Ford and the newly named Haas Factory Team in 2025. In doing so, he brings a winning reputation, a youthful look, and a new face to a struggling Ford Developmental ladder.
Nick Sanchez had a comeback year in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year. After a season that tapered off as it went on in 2023, Sanchez and Rev Racing are two-time winners in the truck series this season. This earned Sanchez a promotion to the Xfinity Series and Big Machine Racing in 2025.
As for another driver who will more than likely return to their family-owned team, 2024 was not Jeremy Clements’s year. Hopefully, the two-time race winner can recover in 2025 and find that once promising traction both he and his team had in the past.
Perhaps the hottest prospect in all of NASCAR, Connor Zilisch shocked no one when he signed to race full-time with JR Motorsports in 2025. This was prior to his debut at Watkins Glen. However, that didn’t matter, as Zilisch dominated and won his Xfinity Series debut for JRM. While it could be long-term, with Zilisch’s skill, it might be shorter than anyone is expecting.
This article will be updated as drivers, teams, promotions, and demotions continue to happen throughout 2024 and into 2025.
