NASCAR Xfinity Series teams DGM Racing and Jesse Iwuji Motorsports have formed a strategic alliance, in advance of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign, the organizations announced on Monday.
The collaboration brings together DGM Racing’s long-standing success in the motorsports industry – particularly the NASCAR Xfinity Series – and Jesse Iwuji Motorsports’ vision for growth and opportunity, as they join forces to grow their operations.
US Naval Officer and NASCAR competitor Jesse Iwuji formed Jesse Iwuji Motorsports in 2021 alongside Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, and entrepreneur Matt Castro. Powered by Chevrolet, Jesse Iwuji Motorsports will make its return to full-time competition for the first time since 2022.
“This year will be an exciting year aligning our group, resources, and assets to put together the best on and off-track product we can with DGM x JIM,” said Jesse Iwuji, co-owner of Jesse Iwuji Motorsports. “In 2025, we have formed a strong alliance with DGM, who has a long-standing, proven track record of results.”
“Our efforts as a team remain the same: to bring our resources together to consistently compete, generate opportunities to help our brand partners and drivers grow, and inspire others to stay strong enough long enough while chasing their dreams.”
DGM Racing is a family-owned and operated team, which has built its reputation on integrity and hard work as they continue to turn heads and excel in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
“Our team is really looking forward to working with Jesse Iwuji Motorsports for many years to come,” shared Mario Gosselin, owner of DGM Racing. “Jesse and his team share our passion for racing and competition. Our combined resources and share desire to achieve beyond our limits create the perfect recipe for success. I’m confident that our partnership will continue to open doors that take our team to the next level.”
More details regarding the alliance, upcoming race plans, and partner announcements will come at a later date. Together, the alliance will field two full-time entries and a part-time entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, beginning at Daytona.
DGM Racing has previously announced that Ryan Ellis (No. 71), Josh Bilicki (No. 91), and CJ McLaughlin (No. 92) will drive its three entries in the season-opener at Daytona. Ellis will run full-time in the second-tier series, while Bilicki will serve as the anchor driver of the No. 91.
