Driver changes

  • Ryan Vargas made his Canada Series debut in 2025 and competed part-time in the series in the No. 28 car for DJK Racing, originally announced to be full-time contingent upon the team finding sponsorship for every race. Had he been able to run the full season, he would have been the first American to run full-time in the Canada Series since 2001 as well as the first since NASCAR's acquisition of it in 2007. Vargas ran full-time in the NASCAR Euro Series in 2024 and has also previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series.[29]
