Rudeen Racing Releases Zeb Wise

CONCORD, N.C. — Zeb Wise, who won the final All Star Circuit of Champions title in 2023, is looking for work.

Wise was relieved of his duties of driving the Rudeen Racing No. 26 on Friday morning. Wise won the All Star title with the Kevin Rudeen-owned team and finished 11th in High Limit Racing points with the Washington-based team this season.

Rudeen Racing confirmed the move on X.

“We’d like to thank Zeb for his contribution to the team over the last couple of years and we wish him luck in the future,” Rudeen Racing’s post read.

Wise, 21, made his own social media post a short time later.

“Thankful for my time with @RudeenRacing,” Wise posted. “We accomplished some pretty big things together, including a championship and my first Outlaw win,” Wise added. “Will forever be thankful for Kevin taking a chance on me. As far as my plans, hopefully will know more in the coming weeks.”

Trey Starks drove a second Rudeen Racing entry as a teammate to Wise last weekend at the Trophy Cup and won a feature.

The team has yet to announce a replacement.
