AM Racing confirmed Monday that 2018 NASCAR Truck Series champion Brett Moffitt is joining their team as a full-time driver in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for the 2023 season.
Moffitt will drive the No. 25 Mustangs as AM is making the switch from Chevrolet to Ford while also forming a technical alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing and the Ford Performance program.
As part of that deal, Stewart-Haas will supply AM Racing with race cars while Roush Yates Engines will build their engines.
“This is an integral move for AM Racing and our future in NASCAR,” said AM Racing team principal Kevin Cywinski. “AM Racing is committed to ensuring that we are taking the necessary measures to not only give our team but Brett (Moffitt) the opportunity to be competitive from the time we show up to Daytona in February – which is something this group deserves.”
Moffitt drove three Truck races for AM Racing across the last two seasons. In 84 Xfinity Series races, he has two top-five and 23 top-10 finishes.
“I am beyond excited about this next chapter in my career,” said Moffitt. “Wade (Moore), Kevin (Cywinski) and the entire AM Racing team are putting the pieces together to make sure that we not only have a team that can run up front but win races in 2023.
“I was impressed by the team’s long-term plan and without question, I know that we will be able to accomplish the goals that we have set forth. I look forward to representing AM Racing as driver of the No. 25 Ford Mustang.”
