What Is Up With Kaulig Racing?

Looking back 3 years ago Kaulig Racing was mentioned in the same breath as 23XI, Trackhouse, and other more new age teams. Fast forward to 2024 and at best the team pops up and at worst they can be completely irrelevant. So, what is up with Kaulig Racing?

What do you think Kaulig can do to improve in both Cup and Xfinity?

Reply
@thembanjoko2844 April 2, 2024 at 11:09 pm

By selling one or both of their Cup Series charters.

Stick to Xfinity racing only for the next 5-7 years then, if profitable, add a driver to the cup series.

Put the majority of the focus on Xfinity for the next decade. Become the largest fish in that pond.

And with a few dozen wins and a couple of Xfinity championships, take some of that momentum to the next level.

Kaulig Racing needs to sell both of there charters and go back to Xfinity.

People get excited over his 3rd at Atlanta and 6th at Phoenix but he’s a mid-teens driver every week. Congrats on taking advantage of other driver’s misfortunes at Atlanta and Phoenix (which is part of the game) but he’s not run any significant competitive laps in the top 10 all year outside of COTA.

I did not like the fact that they gave Hemric a cup ride when he hasn’t won more Xfinity series races to move back up.

Tbf to Hemric, the 11 team in Xfinity aren’t on the level of Kaulig’s 16.

Giving Hemric a cup ride is disrespectful to the sport. Pathetic team all around imo need to get out of Nascar doing shyt like that.

Kaulig’s a weird team. They have good talents, they have solid foundations but they just don’t have an X-Factor like teams such as Buescher is for RFK. They certainly need one big piece.

@@memolestas1017 SVG is more of a lower-series guy right now and AJ just moved back down to Xfinity full-time. Also, in the case of AJ, I’m sorry if I don’t consider a 42-year-old Part-Time Cup driver whose driving Full-Time in Xfinity to be the great solution here.

They should sell their charters
They would be better as Chevy’s development team

This was inevitable. All of last years backmarkers made huge steps forward this year – LMC to Toyota, and Spire and RWR both invested and made ambitious driver signings. Kaulig were kind of the obvious new backmarkers when we knew they couldn’t afford Dinger

Reply
@thembanjoko2844 April 2, 2024 at 11:14 pm

Kaulig is obviously struggling in Cup, especially after running 5 different drivers in the 16 car, they’re also struggling a bit in Xfinity. The only way Kaulig can improve is by selling one of their charters to either RFK, Trackhouse or 23XI.

Reply
@smunger69 April 2, 2024 at 11:14 pm

They just don’t have a great driver lineup, a lot of pay guys, and the one solid driver on their roster they somehow can’t find funding for to put him in cup. Hemric isn’t bad but in the best equipment he’s not great, so in mediocre equipment he’s not gonna run well. Ty Dillon will at least bring a car home in one piece but he won’t do much with it in the race. Derek Kraus and Josh Williams have no cup experience so in their starts they have either run decent or had problems. The one thing that team doesn’t have but desperately needs is a cup veteran with some funding, doesn’t even need to be much just something and be a proven cup series driver. Someone like Christopher Bell or William Byron I’m sure could hop into those cars and at least contend for wins, or even a Bubba Wallace or Erik Jones could make those cars look competitive and bring some funding. But I don’t really see many options of that sorts. Justin Haley was a bigger loss than most would think, he’s making Rick Ware cars look good. But if Kaulig could pick up a decent veteran driver with some past wins and funding, I think they could be decent in the future. If they put AJ back full time in cup, he wouldnt be a great long term choice but he’s the best of their current lineup for the job, he can at least get them wins.

@Lasportsfan April 2, 2024 at 11:18 pm

Hermic in cup was stupid, Aj going back to Xfinity was stupid, Josh Williams to the 11 car over Derick Kruas was very stupid. It’s the drivers they chose.

@GatoradeCupSeriesX94 April 2, 2024 at 11:23 pm

Kraus is garbage anyways so does it really make a difference?

Reply
@naparacingfan9275 April 2, 2024 at 11:19 pm

They made a mistake with cup. They should have 1 charter with AJ Allmendinger running full time in cup. Losing Justin Haley hurt them more than I think fans and they realized at the time.

@ACfairgrounds April 2, 2024 at 11:19 pm

Kaulig racing should have kept to the format, of having three cars in Xfinity and having a trophy hunting car with AJ almendinger, in the cup series.

Reply
@wtfcatonfire April 2, 2024 at 11:25 pm

I think Kaulig will do a partnership with trackhouse and SVG in a cupcar next year. Trackhouse said they dont have the staff to admin another fulltime cup car.(although im pretty sure SVGs 16 Cota car was assembled by trackhouse) So probaly another partnership like SVG and 97 xfinity car.

Reply
@NASCARFAN93100 April 2, 2024 at 11:27 pm

Kaulig should merge with Trackhouse Considering SVG

Reply
@mattsisoler6125 April 2, 2024 at 11:53 pm

I don’t think they should do that, but I do think they need to either lease or sell a charter outright to Trackhouse so that that team has a seat available full time for SVG when he goes Cup race either next season or two seasons from now without losing Suarez or Chastain. The money from the leasing or sale of a charter would be a boost, they’d be able to focus on putting their best guys and best efforts in their one chartered car every week and then kinda work to get their Xfinity program back up to being an every week contender.

@DaytonaPrototypes April 2, 2024 at 11:27 pm

What’s wrong with Kaulig?

Driver Lineup. Losing Justin Haley. Ty Dillon, Derek Kraus, Josh Williams. Demoting Dinger to be replaced by Hemric.

@MegaMr46 April 3, 2024 at 3:47 am

But at least AJ is good in the 13 on a road course and SVG in the 16 at the Xfinity side

I think they need to sell one of their charters that will give them a lot of money that they probably lost expanding too fast. Downsize in cup to one full time driver and figure out a way to get out of the hole that they have dug themselves into.

Losing AJ and Justin Hailey in their cup team really set them back, sure having svg and Aj in xfinity is good for road courses but unlike a few years ago just because you have Almendinger doesn’t mean you’ll automatically win at road courses

@cito1101 April 3, 2024 at 12:21 am

Remember from 2020 to late 2021, Kaulig had the Superspeedways figured out??
They were like DEI from the 2000’s
