Kaz Grala will reunite with Sam Hunt Racing, where he became the organization’s first full-time driver in 2023, as he is set to compete in three NASCAR Xfinity Series road course events during the 2025 season. Grala’s first turn behind the wheel of the team’s part-time No. 24 Toyota GR Supra will come in the Loop 110 at the Chicago Street Course.

In addition to the Chicago Street Course, Grala will pilot the No. 24 entry at Watkins Glen International and the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. Overplay Games, a no-code gaming platform recently featured on Shark Tank, will serve as a primary sponsorship partner for Grala and the No. 24 Sam Hunt Racing team.

“I can’t wait to finally suit back up, especially with my friends at Sam Hunt Racing. We had a lot of success together in 2023, and with the growth they’ve had since then, I have confidence that we’ll be able to contend up front each time we hit the track,” said Grala in a team release.

This season, while Grala hasn’t competed in as many races as he has in recent years, he has served as the simulator and reserve driver for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, a team, which is much improved this season in the NASCAR Cup Series.

“My role at LEGACY MOTOR CLUB as their simulation driver has kept me sharp behind the wheel this year, and ties in perfectly with the driving games we’ve created with Overplay,” Grala explained. “For the first time, fans are playing racing games that I made. Overplay has been an incredible sponsor to work with so far, as they’ve fully immersed themselves in the NASCAR world this year. I’m looking forward to what we are all able to accomplish together, and I can’t think of a better place to get started than the streets of Chicago.”

Sam Hunt, the team owner of Sam Hunt Racing, is proud to have Grala back behind the wheel of his race cars this season.

“It’s always nice to have a familiar face walk into SHR. Kaz has been working in the LEGACY MC simulator all year, so I know he’s more than eager to be back on track and get real-world reps,” said Hunt. “He knows our process as well as anyone and has had a lot of success with us in the past, especially on these road courses. I think we have all continued to improve since 2023, and I’m thankful and proud to have Overplay partner with us to support the effort. It’s going to be a fun couple of races for sure.”

The 26-year-old Grala has competed in 77 NASCAR Xfinity Series races in his career and has collected seven top-five finishes and 19 top-10s. In 2023, he finished 17th in the championship standings while driving full-time for Sam Hunt Racing.
