Such is the case with NASCAR Silly Season — one day you’re down and the next you’re up.
That’s certainly the case for Matt DiBenedetto, currently the driver of the No. 95 Leavine Family Racing Toyota. Just weeks after announcing 2019 would be his final season racing for LFR, DiBenedetto was tabbed for the famed No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers Racing after Paul Menard’s retirement at the end of the season.
DiBenedetto shared his reaction to the news on social media:
