-------------------- 


Car No. 91

TBA driver – possibly multiple drivers

 

2024 Stats

Kyle Weatherman was scheduled to be the full-time driver in the 91 last year, but three other drivers took a few races down the stretch

  • Final Standings Position – 24th 

  • Best 2024 Finish – P8 at Dover, Kyle Weatherman

  • Points – 486

  • Average Finish – 22.36

 

2025 Hopes and Expectations

While we still await an official announcement on the driver(s) for the No. 91 car, Ryan Ellis brings some Xfinity Series experience with him to the newly formed No. 71.  While he hasn’t exactly lit up the series over the 12 years he’s made appearances, he hasn’t had great equipment either.  DGM will need a lot of things to go right in order to be regularly competitive, but this could be step in the right direction.
