Kaulig Racing says farewell to NASCAR Xfinity program after...

Kaulig Racing has been operating a team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series since 2016, which is when they first entered NASCAR.

Over time, the team has expanded into the Cup Series and won several races. However, after announcing plans to partner with Ram and form a new team in the NASCR Truck Series (with five entries) in 2026, Motorsport.com understands that they will now pause the Xfinity program. Stellantis has been absent from the NASCAR grid for over a decade, but will resurrect its Truck program next year with Kaulig as its factory team.

Kaulig Racing shared a post on Tuesday, paying tribute to its decade in the secondary level of NASCAR, where they have won 27 races and placed as high as third in final driver standings.

The team's first win came with Ross Chastain at Daytona in 2019. Since then, they've won races with Justin Haley, Jeb Burton, Chandler Smith, Kyle Larson, Shane van Gisbergen, and A.J. Allmendinger.

However, no driver has contributed more to the team than Allmendinger, who is responsible for 16 of its 27 NXS wins (as well as both of the team's Cup wins). Allmendinger won the regular season title twice, and has been a massive factor in propelling the team forward over the years.

They have been fielding three full-time entries in 2025 with Christian Eckes in the No. 16, Daniel Dye in the No. 10, and a variety of drivers in the No. 11. While there is one more opportunity for the self-described 'trophy hunting' group at Kaulig to collect a 28th checkered flag at Phoenix, they have been winless so far this year.
