- On August 25, 2022, Front Row Motorsports announced that Zane Smith, who drives for the team full-time in the Truck Series, would run part-time for a Ford team in the Xfinity Series with entries being fielded in a collaboration with them (instead of FRM starting their own Xfinity Series team).[54]

- On March 3, 2023, Preston Pardus announced that he would return to driving for his own team in the Xfinity Series, which he last did in 2019.
