Natalie Decker joins DGM Racing for NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona

Natalie Decker will join DGM Racing for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway, looking to qualify for the event.

[autotag]DGM Racing[/autotag] has found a driver for the No. 36 car at Daytona International Speedway next weekend. On Wednesday night, [autotag]Natalie Decker[/autotag] announced that she will drive the No. 36 Xfinity car for DGM Racing at Daytona. Decker competed in two Xfinity Series races during the 2023 season, including a 35th-place finish for Emerling-Gase Motorsports in Daytona.

Decker joins Kyle Weatherman and Josh Bilicki as teammates for the Xfinity Series race at Daytona; however, there will be some work to do now. According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, the No. 36 car is 43rd in the owner’s standings. This means Decker would likely need to qualify on speed to make the event next Saturday.

The 26-year-old driver only has one start at Daytona in the Xfinity Series after not making it on speed in 2022. Decker has a car capable of showing enough speed, so seeing her make the show wouldn’t be surprising. In fact, this might be the best equipment of Decker’s career in the Xfinity Series, so she must take advantage of this opportunity.

Josh Bilicki joins DGM Racing for partial NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule in 2024

DGM Racing announced on Thursday afternoon that Josh Bilicki will drive the No. 92 Xfinity car part-time in 2024.

[autotag]DGM Racing[/autotag] announced Thursday afternoon that [autotag]Josh Bilicki[/autotag] will drive the No. 92 Xfinity car part-time in 2024. Bilicki joins Kyle Weatherman, who will drive the No. 91 Xfinity car full-time. The 28-year-old driver competed in 11 races during the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, with nine starts coming for DGM Racing in the No. 36 and No. 91 cars.

Bilicki had a best finish of eighth place at Road America with DGM Racing and earned four straight top-20 finishes between road courses and superspeedway tracks. Outside of his time with the NASCAR organization, he spent time with SS-Greenlight Racing but only had a best finish of 25th place at Watkins Glen International and Charlotte ROVAL.

The organization hasn’t announced any partners or races outside of the first race of the season at Daytona International Speedway. Bilicki will serve as a good mentor for Weatherman while making DGM Racing better overall. In 2024, the expectations for DGM Racing should be higher as Bilicki and Weatherman serve as a solid core.

DGM Racing’s 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season in review

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

[autotag]DGM Racing[/autotag] entered the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season looking to improve upon a quiet 2022; however, quiet was not one way to put this year. Josh Williams, the driver of the No. 92 car, was suspended one race for parking his damaged car on the race track and walking away from it. That moment was one of the biggest highlights of the year in NASCAR.

In fact, Williams got sponsorship out of the situation and ran fairly decent. The driver of the No. 92 car earned three top-10 finishes, while the other seven drivers who drove for DGM Racing part-time earned a total of two top-10 finishes. Needless to say, it was an average season for the race team that put them into the mainstream media.

Williams won’t return to DGM Racing in 2024 as he heads off to Kaulig Racing, but another driver is set to join the team. Kyle Weatherman will drive the organization’s No. 91 Xfinity car full-time next year. Weatherman is an underrated driver who can lead DGM Racing into a better situation. One where it could be mainstream because of its performances.

Kyle Weatherman to join DGM Racing for 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season

DGM Racing announced on Tuesday afternoon that Kyle Weatherman will drive the No. 91 Xfinity car on a full-time basis in 2024.

[autotag]DGM Racing[/autotag] announced on Tuesday afternoon that [autotag]Kyle Weatherman[/autotag] will drive the No. 91 Xfinity car on a full-time basis starting in 2024. Weatherman competed in the final three races of the 2023 NASCAR season with DGM Racing. Over the three-race stretch, the 26-year-old driver had finishes of 36th place, 16th place, and 17th place.

Weatherman hasn’t been a full-time driver in NASCAR since the 2021 season when he drove the No. 47 car for Mike Harmon Racing. This is undoubtedly the best full-time equipment that Weatherman has received in his young career to this point. The new DGM Racing driver has been a journeyman after driving for several organizations over the last two seasons.

Overall, this is a good move for both sides as Weatherman has shown the ability to over-perform with his equipment. In a full-time ride, Weatherman should continue to grow as a driver and become a threat to earn around five-plus top-10 finishes with DGM Racing. It is not a massive number but one that would put some other teams on notice moving forward.
