Cole Custer
Cole Custer has led Stewart-Haas Racing with Biagi-DenBeste through a stellar sophomore season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, leading the division with 25 top-10 finishes and earning five poles, tied for the most with Christopher Bell. He won at Texas Motor Speedway to secure his spot in the Championship 4.
Custer’s trump card may be his dominant victory from last year’s season finale at Homestead, where he led 180 of 200 laps in a total rout of the field despite not being one of the four title contenders. That kind of speed is exactly what Custer will need if he wants to take home his first NASCAR championship.
