Riley Herbst must look for a new ride in NASCAR after the 2024 season. Stewart-Haas Racing announced it would shut down after 2024, leaving its six NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series drivers without seats next season. Herbst is one of the two Xfinity Series drivers looking for a new home, and it could come in any three NASCAR levels.
Over the weekend at Nashville Superspeedway, Herbst talked about the process of finding a new ride in NASCAR for 2025. The main goal is to be in a competitive seat, which includes the NASCAR Truck Series and Cup Series.
“I think there’s a lot of things going on behind the scenes, but it’s not really just Riley Herbst it’s Monster Energy as well,” Herbst said. “The biggest thing is trying to see what’s right for me, what’s right for Monster Energy. I have really good people around me with Josh Jones and Kevin Harvick trying to guide me in the right position and I’m gonna lean on their experience. I have last year, and I’m going to again this year, and there’s a lot of options on the table, so we’re looking forward to everything and hearing everybody out.”
“At least for myself and my sponsor it’s important to be in competitive rides. I think that the easiest way to learn is to surround yourself with good people and put yourself in good equipment. That’s first and foremost, so I think that’s going to be our priority for us this offseason, where we land, is to be in a ride that’s extremely competitive whether it be in any three series.”
Throughout the silly season process, Herbst has been linked to Front Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing, with the latter being the most heated landing spot. The driver of the No. 98 Xfinity car could join Monster Energy at 23XI Racing in a third car. However, Herbst isn’t being close-minded, as any competitive ride in NASCAR would be ideal for him and his camp.
