Truck No. 25 history[]

On December 18, 2020, it was announced that former truck series driver, Willie Allen, and Rackley Roofing CEO, Curtis Sutton, would be forming their team, Rackley WAR, that will debut in the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, with Timothy Peters set as the full-time driver.[1][2] The team made their first truck start at the 2021 NextEra Energy 250, finishing 26th, after suffering a mechanical issue. Peters' best finish for the team was 16th, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

On June 1, 2021, it was announced that Rackley WAR and Timothy Peters would part ways after the 2021 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte.[3] Josh Berry was announced as the new driver of the No. 25, scheduled to drive three races for the team, Texas, Nashville, and Pocono. Berry would give the team their best career finish, getting 10th at the SpeedyCash.com 220 at Texas. Berry would later go on to drive six more races for Rackley, starting at the Corn Belt 150 at Knoxville Raceway.[4]

Brett Moffitt would return to the truck series to drive the No. 25 at the 2021 Victoria's Voice Foundation 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Moffitt would start 22nd and finish 25th.[5]

After a 8-year hiatus, Willie Allen, co-founder of the team, made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series return at Talladega Superspeedway, for the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 250. Allen started 30th and finished 18th.[6]

On January 6, 2022, it was announced that Matt DiBenedetto will drive the 25 truck full-time for the 2022 season.[7]
