“I’m looking forward to our second speedway race together as a group and building on the solid foundation Kaulig Racing has established over the years at superspeedways. The engine package has changed some over the last year or so at these type of tracks, but the speed and teamwork within this organization hasn’t, and we are collectively excited about the opportunity in front of us as we head to Talladega. This group has been putting the work in, communicating, and doing the things you have to do to build for our future together. We are ready.”
– Daniel Hemric on Talladega Speedway

Justin Haley, No. 31 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Camaro ZL1

“Talladega is one of my best tracks, so I feel optimistic going into the weekend. I feel like we had good speedway speed at Daytona earlier this year, but we just didn’t get the finish we wanted after the issues we had. Going into the second speedway race of the year, we’re going to race hard all day to try and make up stage points. Hopefully we get good points finish out of it and stay out of the big one.”

This is also the first opportunity in my career to race for the Dash 4 Cash, which is pretty exciting, especially at a place like Talladega, where we definitely know we have a shot to win.

“At Kaulig Racing, we know we have fast cars when we show up to superspeedways. Chevrolet, as a whole, always brings fast racecars. When it comes to outright speed at places like Talladega, I like Kaulig Racing’s chances. I feel like over the four years that I have been with Kaulig Racing, we’ve done a great job as a team dictating these types of races, but Talladega is definitely more challenging, because there is so much you can’t dictate there.”
