Kaulig Racing Releases Josh Williams
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 since the beginning of the 2024 season, achieving six top-ten finishes in 54 races. Of those six results, only two have occurred in his 21 races this season. Williams was seventh at Rockingham on April 19 and sixth at Charlotte on May 24. Last week, he finished in 22nd place in Indianapolis.Williams has participated in 231 Xfinity races without wins in the last 10 years. Previously, he raced 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 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, lifelong partners, and fans, whom I cannot thank enough for standing by me throughout 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 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 some fun with the 11 team this weekend. I promise to make the most of it.
