After several seasons of part-time races in the ARCA Menards Series and platform, Caleb Costner and his team are set to take a major jump heading into 2024.
Costner Weaver Motorsports has announced that Caleb will run the full 2024 ARCA Menards Series schedule, and will also run the entire ARCA Menards Series East schedule. The Dallas, NC native will pilot the No. 93 Chevrolet for both series.
“As a kid, all I ever dreamed of was becoming a full-time racecar driver. But at 18 years old, I gave up on that dream of racing full-time to pursue a more stable and consistent career path. Who would have thought at 30 years old, that suppressed dream would be fulfilled, and I would finally get that opportunity,” Costner said with excitement.
“To say this season will be a dream come true is putting it lightly. I’ve never been more determined and focused for this moment,” he added.
The 30-year-old has nine career starts across the ARCA platform. Including five starts last season at Daytona, Talladega, Charlotte, Michigan, and Bristol. He captured three top-15 finishes with a best of 13th at the Michigan International Speedway.
“We’ve been quietly putting the right people in the right places and really creating something special with our group. As a team, every single one of us are hungry and have something to prove,” Costner added.
Costner and the team will be at Daytona for the preseason test on January 12th and 13th, with Darrell Phillips atop the pit box as crew chief.
Returning to the team are ‘Lickety Lews – All-Purpose Boo Yow Sauce’ & ‘Innovative Tiny Houses’ as partners. Costner Weaver Motorsports will also announce partners throughout the season.
Joining the program with Costner is ARCA Menards Series veteran D.L. Wilson. He will join the team with a second car to run full-time in the ARCA Menards Series East in the No. 39 Chevrolet.
Wilson has been part of the series since 2018 with 43 total starts across the entire ARCA Platform. 2024 will be his first full-time year in the ARCA Menards Series East.
“2024 will be a monumental year in the growth and development of our team. Daytona can’t get here soon enough!”
You can catch Costner at Daytona for the season opener on February 17th at 1:30 PM ET live on Fox Sports 1.
