When the 2017 NASCAR GANDER OUTDOORS Truck Series season got
underway at the Daytona International Speedway, an “under-age” Justin
Haley was on the sidelines because he wasn’t old enough to compete on
a superspeedway.

When the series moved on to Atlanta a week later, Haley found
himself with helmet in hand – and with a running start to
quickly gaining notoriety in the sport.

With just 50 truck races, which included and three

victories and a spot in the truck series NASCAR
FEATURED DRIVERS from Winamac, Ind., already has advanced to
Playoffs, under his belt, the 19-year-old driver

the next level – a ride in the No. 11 Chevrolet
Camaro SS at Kaulig Racing in the NASCAR
Xfinity Series.

“I really wasn’t looking at the time,” Haley said. “But it’s
really fallen into place and I’m really happy with Kaulig. I’m
excited to be in another Chevrolet; it’s what I’ve done my whole
life. Hopefully we can jump in where Ryan [Truex] left off and have
a really good season.”

Truex, the younger brother of 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup
Series champion Martin Truex Jr., will make selected starts this year in
the Cup series in the No. 71 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Tommy Baldwin
Racing.

Haley became a hot commodity after showing tremendous growth from his
rookie season. He finished 12th in points in 2017 with just three top-five
finishes, but he demonstrated he was a fast learner by improving to three
wins, nine top-fives and 18 top-10s in just 23 starts a year ago.
