LEXINGTON, N.C. – Kaulig Racing will field three Chevrolets for the first time in team history during the upcoming NASCAR Xfinity Series event at Daytona Int’l Speedway.
The team has added Ross Chastain to its roster at Daytona, along with previously-announced driver AJ Allmendinger and full-time driver Justin Haley.
The team will race the No. 16 with Chastain behind the wheel, in addition to its No. 10 (Allmendinger) and No. 11 (Haley) Chevrolets at Daytona.
“Being able to bring a third car to Daytona and have our part-time driver Ross Chastain behind the wheel only increases our chances of getting the win,” team owner Matt Kaulig said. “Not by the addition of a car, but by the additional teammate our two drivers Justin Haley and AJ Allmendinger will have – Daytona is all about teamwork.”
To date, the team has led 57 laps at the World Center of Racing, with an average start of 8.1 and best finish of seventh (Feb. 2018). Earlier this year, Haley took the first stage win of the season at Daytona, with teammate Chastain winning the second stage.
“The success this team has had at resistor-plate tracks this season hasn’t gone unnoticed,” team president Chris Rice commented. “To have two stage wins and five top-five stage finishes in just two races shows the strength Kaulig Racing has.”
