After seven starts in 2023, he is off to a better start than last year. He has claimed one more top-10 start and finish than last year, as well as compiled a 16.6 average finishing position (versus 19.7 in 2022)

DiBenedetto caught up with Pit Pass Network to talk about the weight lifted after his Talladega win, his journey through racing, NASCAR’s return to North Wilkesboro, and more!

Matt chose Christ Alive Church as his charity of choice. Christ Alive is the home church for the DiBenedetto’s and is located in Newton, NC. In addition to Sunday morning services, Christ Alive is highly involved in the community, with resources for all ages.
