Riley Herbst will start vying for the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship at Kansas Speedway this weekend, but his future in the sport remains uncertain. The 25-year-old driver expressed his lack of confidence regarding his plans for 2025 during the Xfinity Series playoff media day. While there were speculations linking him to a potential third car at 23XI Racing in the Cup Series, that program is yet to be confirmed. Despite this uncertainty, it has been confirmed that Herbst will not be returning to Stewart-Haas Racing, as the team evolves into the Haas Factory Team with Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed in their lineup. Herbst acknowledged that the uncertainty surrounding his future has been a distraction, affecting his focus on the current season’s performance. Despite his career achievements so far, with two wins in 168 Xfinity Series starts and eight Cup Series starts since last year, Herbst remains focused on delivering strong results with the 98 team at Kansas Speedway and beyond.
