Jeb Burton Wins First-Career NASCAR Xfinity Series Race
Ag-Pro 300
Jeb Burton, No. 10 LS Tractor Chevrolet
Start: 9th
Stage 1 Finish: 2nd
Stage 2 Finish: 17th
Finish: 1st
“These guys at Kaulig Racing deserve to win. The 10 team didn’t win all year last year, so to get them to victory lane is special. I wouldn’t be here without Nutrien Ag Solutions, as well as all my other partners – Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, Alsco, State Water Heaters, Rocky Boots. I’m so thankful to Matt Kaulig, Chris Rice and everyone at Kaulig Racing. It’s unbelievable.”

AJ Allmendinger No. 16 Hyperice Chevrolet
Start: 11th
Stage 1 Finish: 6th
Stage 2 Finish: 15th
Finish: 3rd
“It’s a really solid day anytime you can come out of Talladega with a top five and a clean racecar. More importantly to be able to help push Jeb to the win and get another superspeedway win for Kaulig Racing is really special. I’m so proud and happy for Jeb and his family. I can’t thank everyone at Kaulig Racing enough for giving us fast racecars. We stepped our program up again, so the cars had a lot of speed in them. I’m happy to have qualified for the Dash 4 Cash and have a shot to win it at Darlington.”

Justin Haley, No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevrolet
Start: 5th
Stage 1 Finish: 1st
Stage 2 Finish: 14th
Finish: 8th
“Our No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevrolet was a rocketship! We ran up front the whole race and were able to line up with our teammates, Jeb Burton and AJ Allmendinger for a majority of the day. I’m disappointed that we didn’t get a better finish, but I’m super excited for my teammate, Jeb and his crew chief, Bruce Schlicker for getting their first win. I’m happy for Matt Kaulig and the entire Kaulig Racing organization for bringing home another one of those awesome trophies and earning our third win in-a-row at Talladega.”

Kaz Grala, No. 16 Hyperice Camaro ZL1 1LE
Start: 38th
Stage 1 Finish: 24th
Stage 2 Finish: 23rd
Finish: 6th
“It was an awesome day here with the Kaulig Racing crew here at Talladega. They won the Xfinity race on Saturday, and we got a sixth-place finish today – both of our career bests in the Cup Series. It was a really big weekend. Matt Swiderski called a great race, and Brett Griffin did an awesome job on the roof at keeping us in the position we wanted to be in to advance and make it to the end. We had a really fast Hyperice Camaro ZL1 1LE today, and I’m excited about being able to run some more races with these guys.”
