Ty Dillon to join Rackley W.A.R. for 2024 NASCAR Truck Series season

Rackley W.A.R. announced on Friday afternoon that Ty Dillon will drive the No. 25 truck full-time during the 2024 NASCAR season.

[autotag]Rackley W.A.R.[/autotag] announced on Friday afternoon that [autotag]Ty Dillon[/autotag] will drive the No. 25 truck full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series for the 2024 season. This comes after Rackley W.A.R. and Matt DiBenedetto parted ways before the conclusion of the 2023 NASCAR season. As for Dillon, he moves down to the Truck Series after being full-time with Spire Motorsports.

The 31-year-old driver hasn’t been full-time in the Truck Series since the 2013 NASCAR season when he drove the No. 3 truck for Richard Childress Racing. Dillon was previously labeled as the favorite to drive the No. 16 Cup car for Kaulig Racing, but this appears to be a better opportunity to reset his career in NASCAR.

Rackley W.A.R. is playoff-caliber equipment after DiBenedetto took the No. 25 team to the Round of 10. Dillon will drive in a truck that is capable of winning races and making the playoffs. After competing for one of the worst statistical teams in the Cup Series, this represents a good reset for the former Richard Childress Racing driver.

Rackley W.A.R.’s 2023 NASCAR Truck Series season in review

Rackley W.A.R. had a solid year in the NASCAR Truck Series. Here, you can check out the NASCAR team’s 2023 season in review!

[autotag]Rackley W.A.R.[/autotag] had an up-and-down 2023 NASCAR Truck Series season after winning its first career race at Talladega Superspeedway in 2022. Matt DiBenedetto didn’t repeat with a victory but made the Truck Series playoffs. Unfortunately for the No. 25 team, DiBenedetto was eliminated in the Round of 10 and didn’t finish the season with Rackley W.A.R.

DiBenedetto announced his intentions to leave the organization after the year, and Rackley W.A.R. decided to move on before the race at Talladega. Chandler Smith, Trevor Bayne, and Stefan Parsons closed the season, but none of them won an event. It was a strange end to a somewhat decent season for Rackley W.A.R.

In 2024, the NASCAR team has no plans announced for the Truck Series. The No. 25 truck can make the playoffs with the right driver, so finding a good full-time competitor will be crucial. The shocking departure of DiBenedetto has created an uncertain future, allowing questions to creep in about the team’s push for another victory next year.

Stefan Parsons to drive No. 25 truck for Rackley W.A.R. at Phoenix

Rackley W.A.R. announced on Thursday morning that Stefan Parsons will drive the No. 25 truck at Phoenix Raceway in a few weeks.

[autotag]Rackley W.A.R.[/autotag] announced on Thursday morning that [autotag]Stefan Parsons[/autotag] will drive the No. 25 truck at the NASCAR Truck Series season finale at Phoenix Raceway. This comes after the team announced that Trevor Bayne will pilot the entry at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Rackley W.A.R. officially has every race filled for the remainder of the 2023 NASCAR season.

Parsons has made two starts in the Truck Series during the 2023 season. Both came with Young’s Motorsports at Bristol Dirt and Pocono Raceway. The 25-year-old driver has primarily raced in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with 14 starts this season. Overall, Parsons has 64 Xfinity Series starts compared to 10 Truck Series starts over the last five years.

The part-time NASCAR driver is likely getting his best opportunity in the sport yet. Rackley W.A.R. made the playoffs with Matt DiBenedetto before the two parties parted ways. Therefore, Parsons will have his best equipment for a race during his career. It will be interesting to see how Parsons closes out the 2023 season with Rackley W.A.R.

Trevor Bayne to drive the No. 25 truck for Rackley W.A.R. at Homestead

Rackley W.A.R. announced on Tuesday afternoon that Trevor Bayne will drive the No. 25 truck in the Truck Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

[autotag]Rackley W.A.R.[/autotag] announced on Tuesday afternoon that [autotag]Trevor Bayne[/autotag] will drive the No. 25 truck in the NASCAR Truck Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend. Bayne has only made eight starts in the Truck Series over the course of his career, all of which came during the 2020 NASCAR season with Niece Motorsports.

The 32-year-old driver has a best finish of second place at Talladega Superspeedway and two top-10 finishes overall. Bayne has recently competed part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing and has run well in his starts before circumstances that affected his finishing position.

Overall, this is a great move for Bayne and Rackley W.A.R. as the driver looks to make a full-time return to NASCAR. Meanwhile, the organization fills on the two remaining Truck Series races in 2023 after parting ways with Matt DiBenedetto. Bayne will look to have a decent run in the No. 25 truck at Homestead this weekend as he returns to the Truck Series.

Matt DiBenedetto won’t finish the 2023 NASCAR season with Rackley W.A.R.

Rackley W.A.R. announces that Matt DiBenedetto won’t finish out the 2023 NASCAR season in the No. 25 truck with three races left.

Last week, [autotag]Matt DiBenedetto[/autotag] announced on social media that he would not return to the No. 25 truck for Rackley W.A.R. in 2024. Despite not having anything lined up, DiBenedetto seemed to be taking the risk of trying to find a better situation for him moving forward. However, he will have to do such a thing without a ride for now.

Rackley W.A.R. surprisingly announced on Tuesday afternoon that DiBenedetto would not finish out the 2023 NASCAR season in the No. 25 truck. This comes after the former Rackley W.A.R. driver was eliminated from the Truck Series playoffs at Kansas Speedway over one week ago. The organization has yet to finalize its plans for the last three races.

It is a bittersweet end to what seemed like a promising partnership between the two sides. DiBenedetto won Rackley W.A.R.’s first Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway during the 2022 NASCAR playoffs and now, the venue will represent the first race following their breakup. The organization should announce a driver within the next week.
