Driver changes

  • Ryan Vargas will make his Canada Series debut in 2025 and will run part-time in the series in the No. 28 car for DJK Racing, contingent upon the team finding sponsorship for every race. Had he been able to run the full season, he would have been the first American to run full-time in the Canada Series since 2001 as well as the first since NASCAR's acquisition of it in 2007. Vargas ran full-time in the NASCAR Euro Series in 2024 and has also previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series.[29]
