The Xfinity Series event in Texas will be broadcast nationally on the CW Network as well as SiriusXM and PRN radio networks.
In addition to the upcoming TMS race, Dye and his bproauto machine will compete at two later Xfinity events in 2025.

We feel the bproauto brand is a perfect match with the NASCAR action and the excitement for the racing fans. We wish Daniel and the Kaulig Racing operation with best with his fast No. 10 bproauto race car.”
Dye, who started his racing career in quarter midgets, followed by late models and then the ARCA Menards Series in 2020, and two seasons in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, has driven for Kaulig Racing in eleven Xfinity Series races in 2025, scoring five top ten finishes, and comes to the Texas Motor Speedway race after impressive performances.
“It’s an honor to represent bproauto on our No. 10 Kaulig Racing machine once again this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway,” said Dye. “It will be cool to have many bproauto customers and employees at the track with us in Fort Worth and hopefully we can give them something to cheer for and get another solid finish.”

“Daniel and the 10 team are going into Texas with a lot of momentum,” said Ty Norris, Chief Business Officer, Kaulig Racing. “You can just see the confidence continue to build every week within that group, and I know Daniel has turned some heads this year with his top ten finishes.
“None of this happens for a young driver without partners who believe in him, which is why Kaulig Racing is so honored to work with bproauto, a high-quality auto aftermarket company who is allowing Daniel to blossom during his rookie season. Texas is an important market for bproauto and a good track for Daniel, so it should be a great weekend on and off the track.”

When he’s not busy running full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, Kyle Larson is almost always behind the wheel of a sprint car. This week was no different as Larson was competing in a winged sprint car race at the Plymouth Dirt Track in Wisconsin.
On the seventh lap of the 35-lap World of Outlaws feature race, Larson was running second and was attempting to run down Rico Abreu for the race lead. However, a wheel appeared to disconnect or break off as he entered Turn 1 at a high rate of speed. The failure immediately sent the car flipping end over end before slamming into the catch-fencing that surrounds the track.
Thankfully, the 2021 NASCAR Cup champion and 2024 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year was able to climb from his No. 57 machine unscathed.
“I don’t know,” Larson told Dirt Vision after the crash. “I think the right rear axle or something broke so it just kind of launched me, and I was along for the ride. Bummer, but I felt really good pacing Rico there and just finally catching traffic and get racing there. Glad I’m okay, big hit but all-in-all, feel fine.”
Larson now heads over to Michigan for the 15th round of the 2025 season, returning to his usual job as the driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Larson’s first career win in the Cup Series came at Michigan back in 2016, winning three consecutive races at the two-mile speedway.
After qualifying fifth for the Cup race at Michigan, he told NASCAR on Prime that he felt find after the sprint car crash, calling it an “unfortunate part failure.”

NASCAR driver Harrison Burton has spoken about his relationship with Wood Brothers Racing following his exit from the team at the end of the 2024 season, insisting that he still has a strong connection with the team.
The team announced in July 2024 that the 24-year-old driver would be replaced by Josh Berry in 2025, despite later clinching his first career Cup Series win at the Daytona summer race.
As a result, Burton now competes full-time in the Xfinity Series with AM Racing, driving the No. 25 Ford Mustang Dark Horse.
Speaking about his relationship with Wood Brothers Racing following his exit, Burton explained on SpeedFreaks:
“That’s something that I think is one of my biggest strengths.
“I was so lucky to have a great relationship with everyone at the Wood Brothers that there was no bad feeling. They truly care about me.
“I mean they still send me stuff — it’s their 75th season — or Leonard Wood built me [a radio-controlled] car, as well. I just have a great relationship with that group, so it made it a way less bitter taste in my mouth.”
Effectively stepping down from the Cup to the Xfinity Series, Burton is using the opportunity to come back to the top series stronger. He added:
“It was really to me about self-reflection and what I can do to be better, and I feel I’m doing those things to be better and it’s starting to show in the AM Racing team.
“We’re turning that program around which I’m super excited about. We’ve got the right people over there. Obviously, for me, it’s all been about moving forward and what’s next.
“That’s been the biggest weapon of mine and I’ve raced the best drivers in the world for the past three years, so I’ve learned a lot and I feel I can take that with me to the future and hopefully when I get back to the Cup Series, I’ll be ready to go again and understand and fire off with some pace.”
For the first time in team history, NY Racing Team competed in back-to-back NASCAR Cup Series races with two different drivers. J.J. Yeley made his first four starts of the 2025 season at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Darlington Raceway, and Talladega Superspeedway after failing to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International […]
For the first time in team history, NY Racing Team competed in back-to-back NASCAR Cup Series races with two different drivers.
J.J. Yeley made his first four starts of the 2025 season at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Darlington Raceway, and Talladega Superspeedway after failing to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.
But the team had Derek Kraus drive the No. 44 Chevrolet for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway two weekends ago before Yeley returned for this past Sunday night’s Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.
Yeley finished in 34th place at Nashville after Kraus finished in 32nd at Charlotte, a finish which matched Yeley’s best finish of the season from the late April race at Talladega.
But the No. 44 Chevrolet is not on the entry list for this Sunday afternoon’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
In fact, there are no non-chartered (open) cars on the entry list for this 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Brooklyn, Michigan oval after three competed at Nashville.
The other two that competed at Nashville were the No. 66 Garage 66 Ford, which was driven by Chad Finchum for the second time this year, and the No. 67 23XI Racing Toyota, which was driven by Corey Heim for the second time this year as well.
As of now, NY Racing Team’s future plans only include the season finale at Phoenix Raceway, Yeley’s home race track, on Sunday, November 2. It is likely that they will fill in that gap at some point, but no further starts have been confirmed for the team beyond their Nashville appearance.
Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 is set to become just the second race of the year to feature only the 36 chartered cars, and believe it or not, it is set to become just the second race in Cup Series history to feature exclusively full-time drivers.
Amazon Prime Video is set to provide live coverage beginning at 2:00 p.m. ET.

In October, Hall of Fame NBA guard and 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan helped bring a federal antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR—accusing stock car racing’s governing body of monopolistic, anticompetitive practices through its charter system.
Despite filing the lawsuit, 23XI Racing was granted an injunction that compelled NASCAR to treat the team as a chartered team in 2025. That period may be over.
A federal appeals court on Thursday vacated the injunction protecting 23XI Racing and the other team to file the suit, Front Row Racing.
“We are disappointed by today’s ruling by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and are reviewing the decision to determine our next step,” attorney Jeffrey Kessler said via David Rumsey of Front Office Sports. “We remain confident in our case and committed to racing for the entirety of this season as we continue our fight to create a fair and just economic system for stock car racing that is free of anticompetitive, monopolistic conduct.”
23XI Racing now has two weeks to file a petition for another hearing, so there is still some time before the ruling would impact their status on the current season.
In NASCAR, teams with charters are reserved a certain number of automatic spots in races. There are currently fifteen such full-time teams in NASCAR, including the two that have sued.
