23XI Racing has confirmed that Riley Herbst will join the team as the driver of their new third full-time NASCAR Cup Series entry starting in 2025. Herbst will drive the No. 35 Toyota Camry with Monster Energy sponsorship, and Davin Restivo will be his crew chief, following their previous work together at Stewart-Haas Racing in the Xfinity Series. Riley expressed his excitement about the opportunity to race in the Cup Series full-time and is eager to contribute to 23XI Racing’s success and represent Monster Energy in NASCAR. This will be Herbst’s first full year competing in the Cup Series, where he has previously made eight starts while racing in the Xfinity Series. His teammates at 23XI Racing will be Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace. The team is still in a dispute with NASCAR regarding the 2025 charter agreement, but they are prepared to race as open teams next year with the removal of certain requirements. Despite the ongoing legal challenges, 23XI Racing remains committed to expanding its presence and performance in the NASCAR Cup Series.
