Matt DiBenedetto Provides Unfortunate Update Regarding His 2024 Hopes

Matt DiBenedetto has been a well-known face in NASCAR for some time now. Having raced in the Cup Series for seven years, DiBenedetto has been seen in the Truck Series for the last two years. However, the California-born driver came up with some disappointing news recently.

It is amazing how DiBenedetto once helped Wood Brothers Racing to the playoffs in the Cup Series. From doing that to recently competing in the Truck Series, the transition hasn’t been as easy. Unfortunately, things have only got more challenging for him now.

Matthew DiBenedetto comes up with disheartening news ahead of the 2024 NASCAR Truck Series season

Just as Matt DiBenedetto was trying to find his foot in the Truck Series, his fans were jolted with saddening news. For the last few weeks, his future in the competition looked bleak with him struggling to find a seat for the new season. However, things took a wild turn when he was rumored to be joining Kaulig Racing in the Cup Series.

Unfortunately, the move did not materialize in case there was any truth to it. It only got worse when the 32-year-old announced on social media that he would be able to participate only in a part-time capacity in 2024 with a sponsor deal going south.

At the end of 2023, DiBenedetto left a cryptic message with a “🖊️” sign. While that gave plenty of hope to his loyal fanbase, the latest update on his future was nothing but disappointing. The frequency of his part-time participation remains uncertain.

DiBenedetto said, “So, we’re just gonna have to let 2024 racing stuff play out, part-time, whatever opportunities fall our way and are meant to be, and are the right fit.”

It is indeed a pity and while DiBenedetto looks out for other options, he insisted his fans stay positive. Surely, it is a big loss for the Truck Series as things stand. On the other hand, the fans made sure they gave the former Joe Gibbs Racing driver the morale support he needed.

Having won once in 2022 in the Truck Series, Matt DiBenedetto had a promising start. While he struggled to be victorious last year, all he needed was some consistency. It is unimaginable how well he could have capitalized on a full-time opportunity.

However, his fans made sure he was not alone in this challenging time. One fan reacted by saying, “Keep up the hard work and head held high Matt! Still think you’re easily a top 30 driver in the world.” Fellow motorsport driver Julia Landauer also spoke on similar lines as she said, “Hate that for you, know how tough that is. Hang in there!”

One fan expressed how DiBenedetto’s presence would be missed, He said, “Sad to here this, I was really looking forward to see you race.” At the same time, another fan added, “All the best, Matt. God has a plan.” While most fans spoke positively, one fan taunted him by saying, “Probably best to not post a pen emoji until you’ve actually signed something.”

All said and done, it would be interesting to see how DiBenedetto reacts from here.
