Former NASCAR Truck Series champion Brett Moffitt will drive for AM Racing in the Xfinity Series in 2023.
Moffitt will drive the team’s No. 25 Mustangs as AM switches from Chevrolets to Fords and adds a technical alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing and the Ford Performance program.
Stewart-Haas will supply the Statesville, N.C.-based team with race cars. Roush Yates Engines will build its engines.

“This is an integral move for AM Racing and our future in NASCAR,” said AM Racing team principal Kevin Cywinski in a statement released by the team. “AM Racing is committed to ensuring that we are taking the necessary measures to not only give our team but Brett the opportunity to be competitive from the time we show up to Daytona in February – which is something this group deserves.”
Moffitt, who won the Truck Series title in 2018, drove for AM Racing in three Truck races over the past 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,” Moffitt said. “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.”
In addition to the Xfinity Series, AM Racing will house a rebranded full-time ARCA Menards Series program in 2023, while also continuing to field the No. 22 Ford F-150 in the Truck Series.
