Custer had another dominant season in NASCAR’s second-tier series with seven top-five finishes and 14 top-10s in 18 races.
LOND POND, Pa. — Cole Custer drove away from Justin Allgaier over the final laps to give the 2023 Xfinity Series champion his first win of the year, earning a playoff spot for Stewart-Haas Racing in its farewell season with the checkered flag Saturday at Pocono Raceway.
“I’ve never been so frustrated being the points leader,” he said. “It was the weirdest feeling in the world.”Custer also gave Stewart-Haas Racing a needed victory before it closes up shop at the end of the season. SHR this year fields Cup cars for Josh Berry, Chase Briscoe, Noah Gragson and Ryan Preece. Custer and Riley Herbst drive for the Xfinity team.
“It’s not been the easiest year for Stewart-Haas,” Custer said. “So to muscle out a win has been huge.”“That’s the plan,” Custer said. “Why not?” Stewart-Haas Racing is primarily run by Joe Custer, the chief operating officer and longtime Haas confidant. The elder Custer will remain president of Haas Factory Team — and his son could get the Cup seat.
