MY FAVORITE WITH Justin Haley

Following a solid freshman campaign in the NAS CAR Cup Series, Justin Haley is settled in with the No. 31 Kaulig Racing team. Always smiling and hav ing a good time, the Indiana native is ready for the challenge that awaits during his sophomore season at NASCAR’s premier level.

Now, it’s time to get to know Haley off the track.
