The Haas Factory Team (HFT) announced will run one full-time NASCAR Cup Series entry next year. On Saturday, they announced 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) champ Cole Custer as the driver. Stewart-Haas Racing currently operates a two-car NXS team as well, which will continue under the Haas banner in 2025.
With Custer moving back up to Cup, that leaves at least one opening in the team's NXS program. It's also unclear where Xfinity regular Riley Herbst will end up in 2025, but the team has made Herbst an offer to stay with the team. However, he may choose to pursue other opportunities in the Cup Series.
