AJ Allmendinger, No. 16 Hyperice Chevrolet
Start: 3rd
Stage 1 Finish: 1st
Stage 2 Finish: 1st
Finish: 4th
“The tire falloff made a pretty big difference today, especially when you are on older tires and someone like Kyle (Busch) is on newer tires. We didn’t have the fastest car in practice, but everyone at Kaulig Racing worked really hard on our No. 16 Hyperice Chevy, and it woke up when the green flag dropped. We swept the first two stages, but we just couldn’t execute there at the end with the way the strategy worked out. I think we got everything we could out of it, so I’m really proud of this team.”

Justin Haley, No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevrolet
Start: 13th
Stage 1 Finish: 4th
Stage 2 Finish: 4th
Finish: 10th
“We had a solid day overall at Road America. It’s not the outcome we wanted after finishing the first two stages in the top five, but we were able to get a top-10 finish out of it. Tire wear was the biggest contributing factor in the end, but I’m proud of everyone at Kaulig Racing for bringing a fast No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevy that could contend all day.”

Jeb Burton, No. 10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevrolet
Start: 8th
Stage 1 Finish: 3rd
Stage 2 Finish: 29th
Finish: 14th
“It was another difficult road-course race. I made contact with the 19 car and spun out, which hurt us in the end. I couldn’t quite get our track position back, but I’m proud of everyone for working really hard on pit road. It’s unfortunate, because our Kaulig Racing team brought a super fast No. 10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevy, but we will continue to work to improve and get better each week.”

AJ Allmendinger, No. 16 Hyperice Camaro ZL1 1LE
Start: 3rd
Stage 1 Finish: 2nd
Stage 2 Finish: 22nd
Finish: 29th
“Our day started off really promising. We qualified 3rd and finished 2nd in the first stage. My air hose came off my helmet, and we had a broken crush panel, which made it extremely hot inside the car. We were able to fix it under caution but just couldn’t get the track position back. We took a gamble late in the race, but it just didn’t work out in our favor. Our Hyperice Chevy was so fast, and I’m so proud of everyone at Kaulig Racing for the hard work this weekend.”
