Sam Hunt Racing announced Tuesday that Dean Thompson will race for the team full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series beginning in 2025.

Dean Thompson joins Sam Hunt Racing full-time in 2025, driving the No. 26 Toyota GR Supra in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

The 23-year-old Thompson from Anaheim, California, is scheduled to campaign in his first full-time stint in the Xfinity circuit after spending the previous three seasons as a full-time Craftsman Truck Series competitor.

Sweeping changes, which involve multiple drivers and teams within the organization, have come to Joe Gibbs Racing for the 2025 NASCAR season.

Joe Gibbs Racing announced today that four-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Champion Justin Bonsignore will drive the team’s No. 19 Toyota GR Supra in five NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2025. Bonsignore made his Xfinity Series debut for JGR last June at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
