Huntersville, N.C. (Feb. 27, 2025) – 23XI Racing announced today a multi-year expansion of its relationship with Upper Deck, the worldwide leader in sports and entertainment collectibles. Last year, the collaboration debuted with Upper Deck featured on the No. 45 Toyota Camry at Darlington Raceway, as Tyler Reddick raced his way to the regular season championship. The expanded collaboration will continue to see Upper Deck highlighted on-track with 23XI’s drivers and feature Upper Deck Authenticated memorabilia and race-used collectibles. 

Upper Deck’s first race will be this coming weekend at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) with Corey Heim in the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Heim, who was recently announced as 23XI’s first development driver, will be making his first start at COTA in the Xfinity Series. Later in the summer, Upper Deck will be featured on the No. 45 Toyota Camry XSE when Tyler Reddick competes at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The collaboration will again extend beyond the track to include a premium memorabilia collection featuring authentic race-used pieces from all of 23XI’s teams and drivers. Available to fans and collectors, the memorabilia collection will include race-worn items, car-raced items, autographed artwork, and more. When 23XI and Upper Deck partnered last season, it marked the first racing additions to the Upper Deck roster in over 20 years. This season, Riley Herbst and Corey Heim join Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace on that growing roster.

“We’re eager to continue connecting new audiences to the world of racing with a fresh approach, especially after the excitement from our initial collaboration,” said Jason Masherah, president of Upper Deck. “We look forward to expanding on last season’s success and creating lasting memories through unique memorabilia and collectibles.”

Steve Lauletta, President of 23XI Racing, shared, “Following a thrilling start to our partnership last season with Tyler securing the regular season championship in the Upper Deck Toyota, we’re excited to expand our relationship with Upper Deck. We’re always interested in unique ways to connect with fans and this collaboration continues to be a great way to do that. We look forward to generating more memorable moments this year and sharing those moments with fans through the exciting world of collectibles.” 

Upper Deck’s 23XI Racing memorabilia collection will be available this year through the Upper Deck Store and Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealer hobby shops.
