Matt DiBenedetto, who contested 28 NASCAR Xfinity Series starts during the 2024 season with Viking Motorsports, will expand to a full-time role with the team for the upcoming 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign.

The Viking Motorsports team will break away from RSS Racing, a team it had a partnership with a season ago, to field its own No. 99 Chevrolets in 2025.

The team made the announcement via a social media video, which posted on Thursday morning. The video shows DiBenedetto working out, when he receives a phone call telling him the time to make a decision is now. The driver climbs into his Chevrolet Camaro, and speeds to a race shop.

That race shop is revealed to be Viking Motorsports, and the new number for the team is shown to be the No. 99.

In 28 starts a season ago, DiBenedetto racked up three top-10 finishes, including a best finish of seventh, which he achieved twice.

The 33-year-old driver spent seven seasons as a full-time competitor in the NASCAR Cup Series ranks, which culminated in a NASCAR Cup Series Playoff appearance in 2020 while driving for Wood Brothers Racing.

DiBenedetto would move to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for two seasons, where he would pick up a win at Talladega Superspeedway in 2022, and would lock into the Truck Series Playoffs in 2023. The driver and his upstart Viking Motorsports team will look to impress as the 2025 season gets underway at Daytona International Speedway next month.
