DAYTONA BEACH, FL. — Daniel Dye will join Kaulig Racing to compete full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025, the team announced Friday at Daytona International Speedway.
Dye, currently a contender in the Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs, will drive the No. 10 Chevrolet in 2025. The 20-year-old has made nine starts for Kaulig in Xfinity competition, dating back to his series debut at Texas in 2023. Dye has made seven starts in the No. 10 car this year, recording top-10 finishes at both Iowa Speedway (10th) and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he posted a career-best seventh-place result.
A native of DeLand, Florida, roughly 20 miles southwest of the 2.5-mile superspeedway in Daytona, Dye is in the midst of his second full season in the Truck Series. After posting just one top-10 finish in 2023 with GMS Racing, Dye and the No. 43 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing team have combined for one top five and six top 10s through 16 races, enough for Dye to charge into the postseason through the regular-season finale at Richmond Raceway on Aug. 10. Dye enters as the 10th and final seed in the playoffs.
Kaulig Racing announced in January that Dye would compete in 10 Xfinity races for the team in 2024. Upcoming Xfinity appearances on Dye’s calendar include Sept. 28 at Kansas Speedway, Oct. 19 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Nov. 9 at Phoenix Raceway.
