Kaulig Racing Has a Serious Problem on Its Hands

Then former Cup Series driver Allmendinger joined future Cup Series driver Ross Chastain as part-timers for Kaulig in 2019. Chastain grabbed the organization’s first victory in the July race at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 16 car, and Allmendinger took the No. 10 car to Victory Lane in September at the Charlotte Roval.

Justin Haley was the operation’s full-time driver that season in the No. 11 car. While he didn’t win a race, he finished inside the top 10 in 20 of the series’ 33 events.

Kaulig Racing was then on its way and able to legitimately go “trophy hunting,” as members of the organization like to say.

Allmendinger won another two races in 2020, again in a part-time role, while Haley won three times and reached the Championship 4. He ultimately finished eighth in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway and third in the championship standings.

The organization expanded to a third full-time car in 2021 and increased its trophy haul in a single season from five in 2020 to seven the following year. Allmendinger won a career-high five races in his first year back as a full-time driver and qualified for the Championship 4. Haley and Jeb Burton each took the operation’s other two cars to Victory Lane once each.

Kaulig has had to shuffle its driver lineup in recent years
