The driver for Big Machine Racing, Parker Kligerman recently revealed that he will not return for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. His return to full-time racing was for the team last year as he finished ninth and had three top-five finishes to his name.
Big Machine Racing has previously worked with many talented drivers and the speculations are still going on that who will replace Parker Kligerman.
Here are the top three contenders to replace Parker Kligerman at Big Machine Racing
Jade Buford
Jade Buford has multiple wins and podium finishes to his name as he has been racing since 2009 and he recently switched to NASCAR in 2020. He joined the Big Machine Racing in 2021 and since then, he has had some strong finishes that include a best result of ninth at Michigan International Speedway.
He was replaced in the 2022 season after featuring in only eight races. He then made a comeback in the 2023 season with the Talladega team driving at Daytona. In the 2024 season, he joined Harmon Racing (MHR). His relationship with Big Machine Racing could play a major role in him being replacing Parker.
Matt DiBenedetto
Matt DiBenedetto has the experience of driving in both Cup and Truck Series. He was planning to race part-time in NASCAR Sup Series 2024 but the deal didn't go ahead. He was then signed by Viking MotorSport for a part-time Xfinity schedule and he did not disappoint as he has several top-ten finishes to his name.
DiBenedetto has 88 Xfinity and 248 Cup Series starts to his name and that could be a big factor in replacing Parker Kligerman.
Nick Sanchez
The winner of the ARCA Menards Series championship in 2022, Nick Sanchez could also be another possibility who could replace Parker. In the 2022 season, he raced in a few races for the Big Machine Racing team.
He won his first race at Daytona in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year driving for Rev Racing. His experience with Big Machine Racing and his rising career could make him a strong candidate.
