2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a two-season foray into the Xfinity Series, one championship and five victories later, Custer makes a full-time return to the Cup Series in 2025. With the closure of Stewart Haas Racing a new team rises from those ashes. The Haas Factory team will take to the track in the upcoming season. Custer will pilot the team's No. 41 Ford under the guidance of crew chief, Aaron Kramer, and look to keep Gene Haas' presence in NASCAR's top division active and competitive. Engine and other technical support will come from partners at Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. There will be a lot of head winds for what is in essence a new race team. Custer has had struggles in his past Cup Series experience (117 starts) and has shown that the transition to NASCAR's top level isn't easy despite all his success in the Xfinity Series. There is potential in this driver/team situation but we're not completely sold that it will happen in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Runner-up Finish in Amex Credit Card 300
Custer finished second in the Credit One NASCAR Xfinity Series Amex Credit Card 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Custer was the foil to Austin Hill's dominance Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The driver of the No. 00 Ford started fourth on the grid and led 67 laps for the day. Custer would try to counter every move Hill could make. However, the long green flag run to the finish wouldn't have victory in the cards for Custer and he'd have to settle for the impressive runner-up finish. It was his 13th Top 5 of the season.

Custer's full-time return to the Xfinity Series would be a rousing success in 2023. The 25-year-old talent would race to three wins and 21 Top-10 finishes, and while his campaign would lack a little of the consistency that others enjoyed, he'd make the most of his opportunities. Custer heated up down the stretch run of the playoffs and grabbed a win and several Top 5's to claim the 2023 Xfinity Series title. As good a season as it was, it still was not career-best marks for Custer in this division of NASCAR. There's room to grow and we expect that will happen in 2024. Custer returns to the No. 00 Ford team to defend his crown and look to post even better stats in the upcoming season. With Jonathan Toney returning at crew chief, these are reasonable goals and we expect to see the team racing at Phoenix for the championship once again.
