Since leaving the Wood Brothers and Cup Series racing<\/a> after 2021, Matt DiBenedetto has kept his head down<\/a> and worked hard in the NASCAR Truck Series. He's found some success with the Rackley WAR Team, including his first win in a national series race last year at Talladega<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the 32-year-old hasn't won a race but did make the postseason. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, in the middle of the playoffs, the driver announced that he wouldn't be returning with the team in 2024. Something seemed amiss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the team, once again, out of nowhere, announced that Matty D wouldn't be piloting the car for the final three races. The upset driver didn't hide the disappointment in his response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
