Cole Custer’s attempt to win back-to-back NASCAR Xfinity Series titles failed, but a one-two finish in consecutive years is impressive.
Custer won the regular season title during a season that would see Stewart-Haas Racing cease following the final NASCAR race.
Custer has one title and three runner-up finishes in his Xfinity Series career.
Custer has made the most of his return to the Xfinity Series and his reward is another chance in the Cup Series in 2025.

WHAT WENT WELL: Won the regular season championship. Nearly won back-to-back titles during a season where Stewart-Haas Racing was on the verge of shutting down, creating uncertainty for those who worked there. Led a record 779 laps in the series. Ranked third in the series in number of laps completed, having completed 98.5% of the 5,329 laps last season.
WHAT WAS NOT: Had eight finishes outside the top 15. Failed to finish four races.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2025: Custer joins the Cup Series in 2025. He will drive for Haas Factory Team, the single-car Cup operation spun out of Stewart-Haas Racing.
