The North Carolina-based team emerged as a full-time organization in 2016 in the Cup and Xfinity Series. The team fields two full-time cars, featuring AJ Allmendinger piloting the #16 Chevy Camaro ZL1 and Ty Dillon driving the #10 Chevy in the Cup Series. Additionally, Will Brown competes on a part-time basis for the team, driving the #13 car.

Following the same, in the Xfinity Series, Kaulig Racing features two full-time rookies, Daniel Dye in the #10 Chevy and Christian Eckes in the #16 Chevy. Josh Williams formerly drove the #11 car, and the team recently cut ties with him. The team secured two Cup Series and 27 wins in the Xfinity Series with Allmendinger's win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last year.

The 31-year-old has been driving the #11 Chevy since the beginning of the 2024 season for the team. However, he has been underperforming, and the team decided to part ways with him. Williams has 231 starts in NASCAR's second-tier racing series over a decade and has secured 16 top-ten finishes.

Reflecting on the news, the former Kaulig Racing driver stated (via X):

"As most of you have seen, Kaulig Racing has made the decision to release me for the remainder of the season. This has been a difficult day for my family, friends, long-time partners and fans, whom I can't thank enough for standing by my side through all of this. We will be back soon and looking forward to a much brighter chapter in my racing career. I wish nothing but the best for my guys on the 11 team."

The Xfinity Series driver overcame a few health-related issues in the 2025 season and some performance struggles. Despite that, Williams hopes for a better chapter in his racing career.
