Kaulig Racing Announces Full-Time Driver Contract For 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series

Kaulig Racing has confirmed that Daniel Dye will be their full-time driver for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series.

The announcement, made at Daytona International Speedway, marks a huge moment for Dye, who is currently competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series playoffs.

Daniel Dye, the 20-year-old from DeLand, Florida, is slated to pilot the No. 10 Chevrolet, continuing his journey with Kaulig Racing into the Xfinity Series. This year, Dye has already made his presence felt with nine starts in the Xfinity Series, predominantly driving the same No. 10 car.

Dye’s racing credentials are further complemented by his current stint in the Craftsman Truck Series. Racing with the No. 43 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing team, he managed to secure a position in the postseason, landing the final spot through a dramatic race at Richmond Raceway on August 10.

Commenting on his upcoming full-time contract, Dye explained, as quoted by Frontstretch.com:

“I’ve really enjoyed driving the Xfinity car this year, and I’m excited for the opportunity to continue working with Kaulig Racing in 2025.

“It’s been a fun experience learning the car and trying to navigate the different feeling compared to the truck. I’m looking forward to finishing out the season, running for the Truck championship and making the most of my remaining races in the No. 10.”

Kaulig Racing president Chris Rice also commented:

“Daniel has done a really great job for our team this season. He is invested in our program and putting in the time and effort to keep getting better. I’ve been able to spend a lot of time with him throughout the season, and we’re looking forward to having him with us full time in 2025.”
