NASCAR had some exciting news for racing fans as they announced that Xfinity Series driver Sheldon Creed will be making his Cup debut soon.

Creed will make his Cup debut in a few weeks at the Kansas Speedway.

He is naturally excited about making his first Cup Series appearance.

“I’m excited to race a cup race for the first time as that’s been the dream for a long time. Whelen is a great company and I’m appreciative for their support in allowing us to do this with Live Fast Motorsports,” Creed said. “We hope to have a good day at Kansas Speedway come September.”

His entry into the race will be sponsored by Whelen Engineering.

Creed has yet to win his first Xfinity Series race, however, he has impressed others with his driving skills. He sits right now in 10th place through 17 races on the 2023 schedule with his top finish being second at the Talladega Superspeedway.

Before joining the Xfinity Series, Creed raced in the NASCAR Truck Series competing full-time in 2019, 2020, and 2021 with GMS Racing in the NASCAR Truck Series, amassing eight wins and capturing the 2020 series title.

So he is a rising star who is slowly making his way up the ladder in NASCAR.
