Josh Williams Leaves Kaulig Racing in the Xfinity Series
Kaulig Racing announced the release of driver Josh Williams from his contract in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, ending their relationship after less than two years. Williams, 31 years old, had been behind the wheel of the No. 11 Chevrolet since the beginning of the 2024 season, achieving six top-ten finishes in 54 races.Only two of those top 10 results have occurred in his 21 races this season. Williams finished seventh at Rockingham on April 19 and sixth at Charlotte on May 24. In last weekend’s race at Indianapolis, he finished in 22nd position.
Williams has competed in 231 Xfinity races, with no wins in the last 10 years. Previously, he drove for DGM Racing, B.J. McLeod Motorsports, King Autosport and Jimmy Means Racing. Kaulig Racing announced that it will use multiple drivers in the No. 11 for the remaining 12 races of the Xfinity schedule, which continues this Saturday at Iowa Speedway. The first of these 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.
Josh Williams
I love to race, 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.
Carson Hocevar
