Rackley WAR to Make Driver Change for its No. 25 Truck Series Entry
On Tuesday, Rackley WAR made the shocking announcement that the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team will part ways with Matt DiBenedetto three races early. The team says an announcement on a replacement driver for its No. 25 truck will be coming down the road.
DiBenedetto, who made the Playoffs this season, and then announced that he would be leaving the team at season’s end, says he is hurt by the decision.
“No words can express the disappointment I’m feeling right now and also not being able to finish the season out,” DiBenedetto posted on X. “I really want to thank my fans for always being there for me, it means the world to me and I’ll always be there for you. Thank you NASCAR and Craftsman for such an awesome series that I love competing in with all my heart! Working on 2024 and will update you all soon!”
