[autotag]23XI Racing[/autotag] is likely to expand its NASCAR Cup Series program ahead of the 2025 season. According to several reports, 23XI Racing is expected to purchase a charter from Stewart-Haas Racing for 2025 and beyond. While Bubba Wallace is expected to sign a contract extension, he and Tyler Reddick could be joined by a shocking NASCAR Xfinity Series driver.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, 23XI Racing could possibly look at Riley Herbst if the team doesn’t choose Corey Heim as a new driver. Heim is 23XI Racing’s reserve driver and is a logical candidate; however, Herbst’s experience in the Xfinity Series and funding with Monster Energy could be intriguing to the NASCAR organization.
The driver of the No. 98 Xfinity car won’t return to his current ride as Stewart-Haas Racing shuts down after the 2024 NASCAR season. Herbst could jump to the Cup Series in 2025, with 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports mentioned for him. A third car for 23XI Racing would be a best-case scenario for Herbst next year.
