Cole Custer to return to Xfinity in 2024

Stewart-Haas Racing announced Thursday they will have Cole Custer full-time again in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for 2024.

Custer will drive the No. 00 Ford Mustang he wheeled to a Championship Four berth this year.

No word on any further partners besides Haas Automation or on any personnel.

With two wins, 12 top-5 finishes, 18 top-10s, six poles and a Championship Four berth together, it is likely crew chief Jonathan Toney will return.

This announcement means SHR’s Xfinity Series lineup is set. Riley Herbst is returning to the No. 98 Ford in 2024.

This announcement also comes less than a week after Aric Almirola confirmed he will not return to the No. 10 SHR Ford for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season.

In the Cup Series, Josh Berry and Ryan Preece are confirmed to be in the Nos. 4 and 41 cars for 2024.

Chase Briscoe is likely to return to the No. 14, while Noah Gragson is a rumored favorite to replace Almirola.
