Stewart-Haas Racing will not be part of NASCAR in the upcoming season following Tony Stewart's departure from the series and the organization he co-owned with Gene Haas. The team will now be known as Haas Factory, with Cole Custer returning to drive the car.

JTG Daugherty Racing has been rebranded under new ownership as Hyak Motorsports, with no driver change for the No. 47 Chevrolet.

Several drivers from the former SHR team have found new seats across the grid. Chase Briscoe joined Joe Gibbs Racing, Josh Berry moved to Wood Brothers Racing, and Noah Gragson is set to race for Front Row Motorsports.

Front Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing are embroiled in an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR after refusing to sign the final offer on charters. Both teams hope to expand to three cars in 2025 but face uncertainty without charters.

Ryan Preece will drive for RFK Racing, which will expand to three cars next season. Kaulig Racing will see AJ Allmendinger move up from the Xfinity Series and Ty Dillon replace Daniel Hemric.

Michael McDowell left Front Row for Spire Motorsports, while Shane van Gisbergen will race full-time for Trackhouse Racing as they expand to three cars.

Zane Smith is expected to join Front Row, and Riley Herbst was promoted from the Xfinity Series. Crew chief changes include Chris Gabehart moving into a management role at Joe Gibbs Racing and Jeremy Bullins reuniting with Brad Keselowski at RFK Racing.
