2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dye is another young driver who is switching from part-time to full-time in the Xfinity Series this season. He made 10 starts for Kaulig Racing in the No. 10 Chevrolet last season and earned some respectable results. Dye would collect two Top-10 and three Top-15 finishes in those 10 starts and post a 20.2 average finish. He has less than 50 starts in the truck series and just a dozen starts in the Xfinity Series. Dye has a lot to learn still but is a good raw talent. He has to learn how to win not just be consistent. He seems to have the consistency down but has been missing the ingredients to win at the various stages of his development. Dye will grow with this team as he takes on his first full slate of races, but the learning curve could be steep at times. He'll make his presence known in the ROTY chase, but not a top contender to win. Read Past Outlooks
Third in Love's RV Stop 225
Dye finished third in the Love's RV Stop 225 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway on Friday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The young driver of the No. 43 Chevrolet would start deep in the field at 35th on the starting grid. Dye would patiently work his way forward over the length of the race. He would lead 3 laps in the middle stages and be among the leaders in the closing laps. Dye would get too aggressive pushing Tyler Ankrum and would set off a last lap crash coming to the finish. However, Dye would keep control and collect an impressive third-place finish. It was just his second Top 5 of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Dye had a bit of a lackluster rookie season in 2023 with the former GMS Racing. He'd struggle to just one Top-10 finish and wind up 18th in the final driver standings. The talented youngster showed that in good equipment he could be pretty consistent and excellent in the ARCA Menards Series. He'll get another season with the MHR team in this same No. 43 Chevrolet. Dye has a lot to prove in 2024 as his average finish of 20.2 in his rookie campaign fell short of expectations. At the point of this writing, his crew chief has not been named by the team. This will be a pretty key piece to any potential improvement and success. Dye is clearly talented but still has a lot to learn about driving this NASCAR trucks.
