– AJ Allmendinger on Talladega Superspeedway
“I’m looking forward to getting to Talladega after the strong showing we had at Daytona. Hopefully we can unload similar to what we had there and have strong run. Superspeedway racing is unpredictable; you don’t want to get caught up in the big one, but you definitely don’t want to be the cause of it.”
Justin Haley, No. 31 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Camaro ZL1
“Talladega is always a fun racetrack. I’ve won there a few times in other series, and it’s a style of racing I always enjoy. We had a good finish as a team last year in the spring at Talladega, so I know there’s an opportunity for us to excel. My teammate, AJ (Allmendinger), is always great to work with at the superspeedways. It’s definitely helped having him at these types of tracks.”

Derek Kraus, No. 10 LeafHome Water Solutions Chevrolet Camaro
“I’m looking forward to Talladega. It’s kind of a wild card race; kind of a 50/50. We just have to stay smart and work with our teammates well. If we can be there at the end, I think we can come home with a good finish. I know Kaulig Racing prepares really good cars to go to superspeedways. I’m looking forward to working with them and being back in the No. 10 this weekend.”
– Derek Kraus on Talladega Superspeedway
Daniel Hemric, No. 11 Cirkul Chevrolet Camaro
“Talladega is always a fun weekend for everyone. I am looking forward to getting to one of our stronger style of race tracks with Kaulig Racing. We are going to try and build on the things we have done well this year and continue to elevate our program.”
– Daniel Hemric on Talladega Superspeedway
Chandler Smith, No. 16 Quick Tie Products Chevrolet Camaro
“Anyone can win at a superspeedway, but it’s going to take solid teamwork from us three (Smith, Hemric and Kraus) to get it done coming to the checkered flag on Saturday. I know that things can change, for better or worse, in an instant at Talladega, so it’ll be important to be aware of what’s going on around me at all times. Thankfully, I’ve got Bruce on top of the box and Freddie on the spotter’s stand to help get me to where I need to go. I think this will be my third superspeedway race in the Xfinity Series. We ran well at Daytona, but we definitely could’ve gotten a top-five if things went more our way that night.”
