Cole Custer

Cole Custer took the humbling route and came back better for it. After getting sent down to Xfinity, he won the 2023 championship, finished runner-up in 2024, and earned his way back to Cup with Haas Factory Team's No. 41 Ford. The reinvented version of Custer is more polished and patient than the first go-round. His 2025 Cup return has been a grind with a rebuilding single-car team, but flashes of speed at Mexico City and Daytona show the talent is real. In DFS, he's a low-ownership place differential dart throw -- priced cheap with upside when the equipment cooperates. Best deployed at superspeedways and short tracks.
