TC Daily Pit Stop: Tuesday, March 18th, 2025

Mar 18, 2025

After spending the last seven years away from the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Michel Disdier is set to return to the series in Friday’s Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Disdier will join forces with Freedom Racing Enterprises to pilot the No. 67 Chevrolet Silverado RST, the organization’s second entry, in the fourth event of 2025.

Homestead-Miami Speedway will mark the first time in team history that Freedom Racing Enterprises will field a second entry in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The team will also do so the following weekend for Ryan Roulette.

“I would like to thank Spencer [Boyd] and his entire team for welcoming us warmly, and for preparing a very good car for the Miami event, and I am sure that we will do a very good job together and surely create other opportunities in the future. We share the same passion and we are both hard workers to fulfill our dreams.”

Disastrous Final Pit Stop Derails Joey Logano’s Shot at Vegas Victory

In the end stages of Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano looked to be in a fantastic position to collect his first victory – and top-10 finish – of the season, in a situation eerily similar to last October’s event at the 1.5-mile racetrack.

The Middletown, Connecticut native was one of several drivers who made their (hopefully) final pit stop at Lap 188, with intentions to stretch the fuel to the end of the 267-lap contest. That fuel save would require Logano, and several others, to run a whopping 79 laps on a single tank of fuel, seven longer than the driver of the No. 22 Ford Mustang stretched his fuel tank to win in the series’ last trip to Las Vegas.

As Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick peeled off the racetrack and onto pit road, abandoning the fuel conservation method, that handed the lead to the three remaining drivers on the fuel-saving strategy – Joey Logano, Josh Berry, and Daniel Suarez.
