Ty Gibbs drove the No:45 and later the No:23 car in his absence. Now, Busch has announced his decision to step away from full time cup racing in 2023.

23X1 Racing has purchased Tyler Reddick contract from RCR and he will move to the Toyota team as the No:45 driver. Reddick was contracted to join 23X1 in 2024. Kurt Busch will remain with the 23X1 team next season as part time driver and will work behind the scene as mentor for both the drivers.
