The start of 2023 showed lots of promise. The possibility of a full-time driver, the beginning of a new partnership with Ford Performance, and more were growing on the team. However, that all changed the morning of January 26th.

Jason White raced a tribute scheme on the No. 34 that read “From the ashes we will rise”, putting a decisive period on a tumultuous 6 weeks.
