NASCAR silly season has ramped up in the Truck Series, and it now includes the sale of an organization. On Tuesday morning, it was revealed that [autotag]Hettinger Racing[/autotag] has purchased the assets of [autotag]Bret Holmes Racing[/autotag] effective immediately. Brett Moffitt will drive the No. 4 truck for Hettinger Racing to close out the 2024 NASCAR season.

Hettinger Racing will make its Truck Series debut with Moffitt at Martinsville Speedway this weekend. The organization will continue its Late Model program while running select ARCA Menards Series and Truck Series races that best fit the team’s schedule. As for Bret Holmes, he is still looking to race in NASCAR during the 2025 season.

Moffitt is a great resource for Hettinger Racing, as he will be able to provide the organization feedback in its first two races.

Bret Holmes Racing to run full-time in NASCAR Truck Series for 2024 season

Bret Holmes Racing will run full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series during the 2024 season. Check out the details behind the effort!

[autotag]Bret Holmes Racing[/autotag] sat out the last two races of the 2023 NASCAR Truck Series season to regroup for the 2024 season. On Friday evening, the NASCAR team made its return official. For the second straight season, Bret Holmes will drive the No. 32 truck full-time. In 2023, Holmes had a best finish of 13th place at Atlanta Motor Speedway in March.

It was a disappointing year for Holmes after a successful eight-race schedule in 2022 that featured a second-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway behind Matt DiBenedetto. The No. 32 team didn’t have the needed speed to compete in 2023, but a technical alliance with Spire Motorsports should increase the organization’s competitiveness.

Holmes will also have Mike Shiplett as his crew chief for the 2024 NASCAR season, who only appeared in one race with Austin Hill in 2023. Shiplett spent several years with Cole Custer in the NASCAR Cup Series. Bret Holmes Racing is pulling out all of the stops to make 2024 its best yet after a rough 2023 season.

Bret Holmes Racing’s 2023 NASCAR Truck Series season in review

Bret Holmes Racing had a solid year in the NASCAR Truck Series. Here, you can check out the NASCAR team’s 2023 season in review!

[autotag]Bret Holmes Racing[/autotag] finally became a full-time team in the NASCAR Truck Series for the 2023 season, but it wasn’t very successful. Bret Holmes failed to record a top-10 finish as the organization didn’t enter the last two races of the year to focus on 2024. Needless to say, Bret Holmes Racing had higher expectations entering its first full-time year.

Despite missing two races, Holmes finished 23rd in the point standings. The No. 23 team barely finished behind Lawless Alan and Colby Howard, so Holmes wasn’t the worst full-time driver statistically. Still, the organization had five top-10 finishes in 22 races over the last couple of seasons, so there was hope for more success overall.

In 2024, Bret Holmes Racing will return to full-time competition in the Truck Series as Holmes will drive the No. 23 truck. The hope is that Holmes competes at a higher level after a fresh start. If not, Bret Holmes Racing must figure out how to elevate its Truck Series program to the next level as they search for answers.
