AJ Allmendinger, No. 16 Barger Precast Chevrolet
Start: 10th
Stage 1 Finish: 6th
Stage 2 Finish: 6th
Finish: 1st
“It’s always been a goal of mine to win a race at Bristol. It’s where I made my first Cup Series start, so to win both the race and the regular-season championship is so meaningful, especially with this team. You never know how many more chances you have to do this. I have so much respect for Austin (Cindric) and Team Penske, and we would not be as good as we are without them constantly challenging us and making us better. I have so much love, friendship and respect for my family at Kaulig Racing, and that’s all I’m focused on going into the playoffs. We will take it one race at a time starting next week in Las Vegas.”

Justin Haley, No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevrolet
Start: 5th
Stage 1 Finish: 4th
Stage 2 Finish: 4th
Finish: 6th
“We had a fast LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevy, and I think it was a race-winning car for sure. We had a great run but got some damage, which hurt the handling of the car too much. We weren’t quite able to get it at the end, but I’m proud of the hard work by everyone! I’m happy for AJ (Allmendinger) and everyone at Kaulig Racing for winning our first-ever, regular-season championship. I’m extremely grateful to be a small part of it.”

Jeb Burton, No. 10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevrolet
Start: 7th
Stage 1 Finish: 11th
Stage 2 Finish: 10th
Finish: 24th
“Our night started off promising, and we had a pretty good car all night. I felt like we made a good change for the final run, but we ended up getting a flat, right-front tire that really killed our race in the end. I’m really proud of everyone at Kaulig Racing and am happy that my teammate, AJ (Allmendinger), was able to win the regular-season championship. We will start fresh in Las Vegas for the first round of the playoffs and work on cementing ourselves into the next round.”
