I was thinking the same thing. I’d imagine Smith replaces Truex and Heim replaces Hamlin when the time comes. Then Toyota’s cup lineup is Gibbs, Bell, Smith, Heim, Reddick, Wallace, Jones, and Nemecheck. Unless 23XI or LMC get another charter that’s a young and stacked lineup.
I’m surprised not many people talk about William Sawalich. I don’t know if it’s confirmed or rumored but it seems like he’s driving part time for JGR and going full in 2025, He’s made starts in the truck series and has done well when the only truck in Tricon that’s close to the level KBM was is the 11. Toyota and JGR believe in him, and he might be the next big thing. And they’ve sold me on him.
I’d say once love didn’t get a Gibbs Xfinity car this year and would have to stay in arca, he said no way I’m out. When Creed got picked over him and Smith, it pissed him off and went to Chevy
I think Austin was in on that decision with Jessie, he will drive for 2 more years and then move to the business side of RCR opening up that seat for the Love child!

Big L for TRD? Assume Smith and Heim will replace Hamlin and Truex once they retire.

Creed going to the 18
I agree with y’all about Smith replacing Truex but I think Sawalich comes right behind him in less than 2 years and takes over the 19
Don’t forget that Jones is coming back to Toyota along with Nemechek at LMC.
@Logan England I don’t think we’ll ever see the 18 back. I feel like Gibbs would’ve taken it if the number was gonna stay around.
I didn’t expect Jesse love to go to RCR, I was thinking maybe Noah, or a Chevy truck driver.
I don’t think Jesse love is ready for xfinity!
I was thinking JRM with his Jeff Gordon connection
Let’s give up on the Noah talk. Not gonna happen anytime soon.
ppl who say Noah are not clear thinking in NASCAR
Toyota: Haha in your face we got Chandler Smith back!
Chevy: *BET*
Richard Childress is gonna win the 2024 Xfinity championship with either Hill or Love
Dude was driving twice the equipment as any other driver in ARCA. Maybe Toyota knows more about his talent level in equal equipment than we do.
Yeah I wanna see him run in equal equipment as the others, no doubt that car was twice as good as anyone else’s car
@Dillon Blackwoodwell he’s always been awful on iRacing so idk. Bad in a sprint car in CA too
@Chad Zeidershe run truck and he was fine
As a Toyota team enthusiast, I’d much rather lose Jesse love than William Sawalich. So I’m not mad about this, Goodluck at RCR
Toyota’s driver development program seems to have become Chevrolet’s main feeder system.
NASCAR news is always keeping us on our toes. I love it

He looked really solid in the Winchester 400 last week—finished 4th.

I can feel your frustration thru the screen Eric lol, I hope the best for Jesse love
There is still a chance he struggles because going from Arca, skipping truck’s and going strait to Exfinity could be tough
I think Austin was in on that decision with Jessie, he will drive for 2 more years and then move to the business side of RCR opening up that seat for the Love child!
The LOVE MACHINE going to RCR…i can get on board with that
Jesse Love is the future of Nascar, keep your eye on him!
You should make a video ranking the tracks with the best fan experiences
I’m more interested where Shelodn Creed will land. I hope its a good ride.
