Haas Factory Team Signs Creed, Mayer for 2025

Haas Factory Team has announced that Sheldon Creed and Sam Mayer will join their NASCAR Xfinity Series lineup for the 2025 season, driving the No. 00 and No. 41 Ford Mustangs, respectively. This follows the restructuring of Stewart-Haas Racing, with Tony Stewart stepping away to focus on his NHRA career and Gene Haas reducing the Cup Series entries to one team. Cole Custer, who has been successful in the Xfinity Series, will return to the Cup Series driving the No. 41. Creed, a 2020 Truck Series champion, and Mayer, with six Xfinity wins, aim to strengthen Haas Factory Team's competitive edge. The team, transitioning from Stewart-Haas Racing, remains committed to winning and fostering Ford's driver pipeline. This strategic move reflects Haas's ongoing investment in NASCAR despite scaling back operations.
