This partnership follows two successful years of collaboration at the Chili Bowl Nationals. Faccinto brings extensive open-wheel racing experience, including notable appearances in World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, USAC National Midgets, and Micro Sprints.
The 2025 season marks Faccinto's first touring venture outside the West Coast, with most tracks being new territory. Key events on his radar include:
- Season opener at Farmer City Raceway's World of Outlaws Illini 100
- Xtreme-POWRi Challenge Series doubleheader at Coles County Speedway
- Pennsylvania Xtreme Appalachian Midget Week
To maintain peak performance, Faccinto plans to supplement his Xtreme Outlaw schedule with additional racing in California, including Midgets, Winged Sprint Cars, and Micros during off nights.
The season kicks off April 10-12 at Farmer City Raceway for the Illini 100, where Faccinto will begin his rookie campaign with championship aspirations.
