It’s been over a year since Matt Sackman made a pass in a Top Fuel dragster, so he wasn’t exactly expecting a call from Canadian nitro veteran Todd Paton to drive one of the two Paton Racing Top Fuel dragsters at this weekend’s 24th Canadian Nationals at Grand Bend Motorplex in Ontario. But it didn’t take long for Sackman to accept the opportunity to make his first trip to Canada to make his match racing debut. Driving the Fast Eddie Speed Wear/Performance Data Systems Top Fuel dragster, he’ll take on Gary Kraus in the “Pony Up” Mustang Nitro Funny Car on Saturday, August 3.

Riley Herbst made a statement in the last NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Herbst tracked down Cole Custer, got passed by Aric Almirola, retook the lead, and saved the No. 98 car from spinning out on the final corner. It was a very impressive showing by the Stewart-Haas racing driver, who could be on the way to a promotion soon.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Herbst is “expected” to join the NASCAR Cup Series for the 2025 season. The driver of the No. 98 car is considered the leading candidate to join 23XI Racing’s third car alongside Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick. 23XI Racing is expected to acquire a charter from Stewart-Haas Racing.
All signs continue to point toward Herbst landing a full-time ride with 23XI Racing, and it’s the best-case scenario. Herbst may not immediately light the world on fire, but 23XI Racing is a playoff-caliber team that should allow him to develop. After the weekend at Indianapolis, it’s clear that Herbst is ready for the Cup Series, and 23XI Racing appears to believe the same.
