Josh Williams weighs in on his departure from Kaulig Racing

After more than a year and a half together, Josh Williams and Kaulig Racing parted ways. Following his P22 finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, discussions regarding the future of the No. 11 car reportedly began behind closed doors.

“We had our differences a little bit. I don’t think they were happy, and I wasn’t happy," Williams told NASCAR of his departure from Kaulig. "It seemed like it was the best thing to do for both of us that we can all move forward and work towards the future a little bit faster. It worked out for both of us."

As the wheelman of Kaulig’s flagship No. 11 Chevrolet in a total of 54 starts, Josh Williams amassed six top-10s. His best performance was a P6 run at Charlotte back in May. As things stand, Kaulig Racing is on a 24-race winless streak in 2025.

As per reports, series rookie Christian Eckes is the only driver to have brought Kaulig Racing a top-five finish this year. He sits 16th in the driver standings with three top-fives, 10 top-10s, and 523 points to his name.
