Moving to Big Machine Racing

ANALYSIS
Staropoli made just four Truck Series starts last season and only four in the O'Reilly Series as well. The 36-year-old driver managed a pair of Top 20's in that effort in NASCAR's junior division. Staropoli now gets a big chance to kickstart his racing career as he takes over the No. 48 Chevrolet full-time for the 2026 season.
