NASCAR: Go Fas Racing acquire charter for Matt DiBenedetto

Go Fas Racing have acquired a charter for Matt DiBenedetto for the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season. How will he perform this year?

Go Fas Racing have acquired a charter for the #32 Ford of Matt DiBenedetto so the 26-year-old can drive the full 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season, according to Racer.com.

The team acquired Joe Falk’s charter after sending their charter to the #21 Ford of Wood Brothers Racing, which is set to be driven by Paul Menard for the first time in the 2018 season.

Here is what Go Fas Racing team owner Archie St. Hilaire had to say about the deal, according to Racer.com.

"“This deal pretty much fills up our plate for the 2018 season. We decided that the best long-term strategy for GFR’s original charter was to strike a deal with our good friends at Wood Brothers Racing, which left us seeking a charter for our own No. 32 car.“I think this partnership with Joe Falk is mutually beneficial for both Joe and ourselves going into the future. Joe has been in the business for a long time and will add a wealth of knowledge to our programs in 2018 and beyond.”"

DiBenedetto is set to enter his fourth season as a full-time Cup Series driver and his second season as a full-time driver for Go Fas Racing after he spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons as a driver for BK Racing.
