Matt DiBenedetto will move to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for Rackley WAR in 2022, Rackley announced Jan. 6.

DiBenedetto takes over the No. 25 in the team’s second season.

“We are honored to have Matt DiBenedetto join Rackley WAR full-time for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season driving the [No.] 25 Chevrolet,” Curtis Sutton, Rackley WAR co-owner, said in a team release. “We feel that by teaming Matt up with experienced  crew chief Chad Kendrick, we will be competing for multiple wins and be competitive at all race tracks. I truly believe that the NASCAR Truck Series is the most exciting, and I am looking forward to getting the season started.”

Added DiBenedetto, “I can honestly say that, at this time in my career, I am truly excited. I feel like I’m going back to my roots in a lot of ways. I love the feeling you immediately get when you talk to Curtis, Willie [Allen, co-owner], Chad; all the guys around this organization. They are all hardcore racers and everyone is extremely dedicated.  This opportunity is a blessing to me and I’m really excited to do my part in taking this team to the next level.”

In its first season in the Truck Series, Rackley WAR earned one top 10, a 10th-place run with Josh Berry at Texas Motor Speedway. The team started 2021 with Timothy Peters as its full-time driver.

Glad to see Matt land somewhere. I hope he kicks ass.

Matt is too good not to have a Cup ride. Someone, somewhere, really screwed up on this one. Happy that he landed somewhere.
