Kaulig Racing has terminated the contract of driver Josh Williams in the NASCAR Xfinity series after less than two years of collaboration. Williams, 31 years old, was behind the wheel of the No. 11 Chevrolet from the start of the 2024 season, achieving six top-ten finishes in 54 races. In what has been this season, only two of those top 10 results have been in the 21 races held. Williams obtained seventh place in Rockingham on April 19 and sixth in Charlotte on May 24. In last weekend’s race in Indianapolis, he finished in 22nd position.
Williams has participated in 231 Xfinity races without obtaining victories in the last 10 years. Previously, he competed for DGM Racing, B.J. McLeod Motorsports, King Autosport and Jimmy Means Racing. Kaulig Racing announced that it will use several drivers in the No. 11 car for the remaining 12 races of the Xfinity schedule, which continues this Saturday at Iowa Speedway. The first of them is Carson Hocevar, who will drive the No. 11 Chevrolet in the HyVee Perks 250. Hocevar, 22, competes in the NASCAR Cup Series for Spire Motorsports. This will be only his seventh Xfinity start.As most of you have seen, Kaulig Racing has made the decision to release me for the rest of the season. This has been a difficult day for my family, friends, long-time partners, and fans, whom I cannot thank enough for being by my side throughout all of this. We will be back soon and look forward to a much brighter chapter in my racing career. I wish the best to my guys on the 11 team.

I love to run, anywhere, anytime, so when I was asked to drive the Kaulig Xfinity car in Iowa, I jumped at the opportunity. I am grateful to the Kaulig Racing team for believing in me and to Jeff Dickerson and my Spire team for letting me have fun with the 11 team this weekend. I promise to make the most of it.
