Car No. 27 history
On October 9, 2021, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series champion Loris Hezemans, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Josh Reaume announced the formation of Team Hezeberg, and will compete in a partial schedule for the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series, and are hoping to go full-time in 2023. The team is owned by Loris' father, former racer Toine Hezemans, Dutch entrepreneur Ernst Berg, and truck series driver Josh Reaume. Hezeberg Systems, the family company owned by Toine Hezemans, will be the primary sponsor for the team. Jacques Villeneuve, who made his last NASCAR start in 2013, will be returning to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2022 to drive for select races next season. The team will have prepared cars from Reaume Brothers Racing, owned by Josh Reaume.[2][3][4]
