Sage Karam will run selected NASCAR Xfinity Series events for Sam Hunt Racing in the upcoming 2024 season, as announced by the team on Tuesday, January 24. Last year, he claimed his career-best finish of fourth place with Sam Hunt Racing at Road America.
The 28-year-old will drive the #26 Toyota Supra in his partial schedule with primary sponsorship backing from CRC Brakleen.
Karam will make his first of the 2024 Xfinity Series season with a season-opening race at Daytona Intentional Speedway on February 17. However, Sam Hunt Racing did not announce what other races Karam will compete in 2024.
Sam Hunt, the owner of the team, is looking forward to having Sage Karam in its driver’s lineup with a partnership from CRC heading into the 2024 Xfinity Series season.
“Sage proved very quickly last season that he is a high-caliber talent with lots of potential to succeed in stock car racing. He brings a focus and intensity to his work that is far above average and embraces his challenge and journey. To have a great brand like CRC Industries partner with us this year is a clear sign of their commitment to motorsports, and our job is to ensure we grow and succeed together in harmony,” Hunt said in a statement.

Both SHR and CRC are two companies that are very close to my heart, and I am honored that they have given another shot to showcase the great things we can accomplish in 2024.
