Jonathan Toney recalls a vivid childhood memory of Cole Custer wearing heely shoes and fearlessly zooming down a ramp. Little did he know then that Custer would grow up to be a successful NASCAR driver he’d work with. Fast forward to 2023, Toney, as crew chief, celebrated Custer winning the Xfinity Series championship, marking a full-circle journey.

With a championship under his belt, Toney continues to work behind the scenes, content to support Custer’s spotlight as a rising star in the racing world.
