The addition of Klutch Vodka is only the latest move for MBM Motorsports. The team has also announced that there will be a second driver on hand for the trip to Daytona International Speedway.
According to a January 27 announcement, Dexter Stacey will join the team for the Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. 300. He will drive the No. 66 Chevrolet Camaro while working as a teammate to Hill.
Stacey has made 25 Xfinity Series starts in his career while driving for multiple teams, but he hasn’t been active since the 2016 season when he made one start at Texas Motor Speedway. Instead, he has focused on the Pinty’s Series in Canada.
Stacey will now return while joining MBM Motorsports and trying to surpass a previous career-best finish of 21st at Iowa Speedway.

The 2023 season continues a partnership between Hill and MBM Motorsports. The Maryland native has had a constant presence on the team, both in the Xfinity Series and in the Cup Series.
The 2022 season, in particular, featured Hill making nine Xfinity Series starts for MBM Motorsports while driving full-time for his own Craftsman Truck Series team.
This schedule began with the Throwback Weekend race at Darlington Raceway. Hill then took on the next two races, which took place at Texas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Hill’s schedule continued with trips to Pocono Raceway, Watkins Glen International, Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, the Charlotte Roval, and Homestead-Miami Speedway. He posted a season-best finish of second at Daytona. He also added a 14th-place finish during the road course race at Watkins Glen.
“Finishing [second] at Daytona last year was a huge boost to our team and it has paid off with the excitement of a multi-race partnership with Klutch Vodka,” MBM Motorsports team owner Carl Long said. “We are excited to have a Klutch performance and be in contention for the win!”
