Fans called him the “stone-cold Custer” as he would be making his way back to the series in 2023. Despite the disappointment, Custer has the opportunity now to rejuvenate and reinvent himself from the ground up. He can push for wins instead of ending up being stuck in the middle of the pack. If he does end up winning the championship, it would also serve as a massive boost in his confidence, and he can use that to leverage himself out of SHR and onto somewhere else where he gets the respect he deserves in the first place.
