In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the NASCAR community, racing veteran Matt Crafton, a three-time champion of the Craftsman Truck Series, has announced his retirement from full-time racing at the conclusion of the 2025 season. The beloved driver, who has been a stalwart in the sport, will hang up his racing boots, marking the end of an era for both Crafton and ThorSport Racing.

Crafton’s illustrious career with ThorSport Racing has been nothing short of remarkable. Having claimed the championship title three times, he has etched his name into the annals of NASCAR history. Fans and fellow competitors alike are bracing for this significant shift in the racing landscape as Crafton prepares to pass the torch to the talented Ty Majeski.

Starting next season, Majeski, the reigning series champion for ThorSport Racing, will take the wheel of the iconic No. 88 truck, ushering in a new chapter for the team. As the excitement builds for Majeski’s ascent, the racing world is left to ponder the legacy Crafton will leave behind.

With a career spanning years filled with thrilling victories and intense rivalries, Crafton has been a true embodiment of determination and skill on the racetrack. His departure is not just the end of a chapter but the closing of a book that has inspired countless fans and aspiring drivers. As Crafton gears up for his final season, the anticipation is palpable—how will he bid farewell to a sport that has defined him?

As we look ahead, the NASCAR Truck Series promises to be electric, with Majeski ready to fill Crafton’s formidable shoes. Will he be able to carry forward the legacy of excellence established by Crafton? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: the end of Crafton’s full-time career is a momentous occasion that will resonate within the hearts of racing fans for years to come.
