DALLAS, N.C. — Caleb Costner will compete in the opening race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series season at Daytona International Speedway in addition to multiple ARCA races piloting the Costner Weaver Motorsports No. 93 Chevrolet.

Costner will also take part in the pre-race practice at Daytona on Jan. 13-14. Crew chief Darrell Phillips will be atop the pit box calling the shots for the race on Feb. 18.

The Costner Weaver Motorsports team returns to the ARCA Menards Series after making its debut last season in the ARCA Menards Series East. Owner/driver Costner also put two ARCA Menards Series West races under his belt in 2021.

“2022 was a pivotal year in continuing to build our team along with planning for the future of how we wanted to take our team to the next level,” Costner said. “We’ll start the season off at Daytona on the biggest stage, and I couldn’t be more ready.”

After beginning his career at age 13 racing Bandoleros, Costner transitioned to local dirt-track racing and has spent the last several years competing in late models. Racing at Daytona will be a dream come true for Costner.

“Getting to this point in my career is a story of pure resilience and the sheer determination of a never-give-up mentality,” Costner said. “Others may tell you you’re crazy or it’ll never happen, but don’t ever let anyone or anything deter you from achieving your dreams.

“The journey me and my team are on is truly a dream come true, and we’re just getting started.”

Lickety Lews – All-Purpose Boo Yow Sauce will be a new co-sponsor of the No. 93 Costner Weaver Motorsports Chevrolet on the high banks of Daytona. Innovative Tiny Houses will continue its partnership with Costner Weaver Motorsports at Daytona and throughout the season.

“2023 will be the biggest opportunity of my racing career to this point as we plan to make multiple starts in the ARCA Menards Series throughout the season,” Costner concluded.
