Haas Factory Team Prepares for NASCAR Debut

Haas Factory Team is preparing for its inaugural season in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, now under a new name and structure. Cole Custer, the team's lone driver, is set to take the wheel while Aaron Kramer, formerly with RFK Racing, assumes the role of crew chief. This transition comes during a pivotal off-season as the team redefines its identity following the closure of Stewart-Haas Racing after the 2024 season, making way for the new organization owned solely by Gene Haas.

In addition to the Cup Series developments, Christian Rose is poised to make his full-time debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with Niece Motorsports after a notable performance in the ARCA Menards Series. Concurrently, an antitrust lawsuit involving 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR has led to Judge Kenneth D. Bell granting a preliminary injunction, allowing these teams to secure their charters amid ongoing legal proceedings.

Within the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Joe Custer announced the crew chief pairings for 2025, with Jonathan Toney leading Sheldon Creed’s team and Jason Trinchere guiding Sam Mayer in the No. 41 entry. The Haas Factory Team will strengthen its operations by maintaining collaborative ties with RSS Racing and AM Racing, looking to build on previous successes while laying the groundwork for a promising future in NASCAR.
