Matt DiBenedetto has reemerged and could contest a majority of the remaining NASCAR Xfinity Series season with Viking Motorsports in the No. 38 entry.
The slate will begin next weekend at Richmond Raceway. For now, according to a report in Frontstretch.com, the team will race every event moving forward with the exception of the road courses and the two races at Darlington Raceway.
DiBenedetto will race the next five oval races before reassessing the relationship.
The No. 38, which is fielded out of the RSS Racing shop, is owned by SciAps Inc. CEO Don Sackett. It started the season with CJ McLaughlin but failed to qualify into the field for two of the first four races. The team is not slated to run the road races because Sackett says their program is not currently set up for it, and the two Darlington races are not funded, but that either could change with enough external funding.
DiBenedetto contested the past two seasons in the Craftsman Truck Series with Rackley WAR, winning once at Talladega in 2022, but has been on the sidelines since his elimination in 2023 playoffs. That came after a decade of racing in the Cup Series with the likes of GoFas Racing, Leavine Family Racing and Wood Brothers Racing.
