It has been an eventful season for Custer. At 18, he made his fourth start in the Xfinity Series on Saturday. He will join the series full time in 2017 as the first developmental driver for Stewart-Haas Racing. https://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/news/nascar-sprint-cup-tony-stewart-haas-cole-custer-xfinity-developmental-driver/on32681vl8r71bj85sqgm0j89 He also has run 18 races in the Truck Series.
If the name sounds familiar, it isn't because of a certain general who led his cavalry troop into a massacre.
Custer tangled with John Hunter Nemechek at the finish of a September Truck race in Canada. After their vehicles crashed through the finish line, Custer expressed his unhappiness.
Tony Stewart must love the guy's fire.
