• Kaulig Racing has made two starts at Sonoma Raceway in 2022.

AJ Allmendinger, No. 16 Gabriel Glas Camaro ZL1

• AJ Allmendinger has made 11 NCS starts at his home track, Sonoma Raceway, where he has earned two top-10 finishes and led 65 laps with an average finish of 23.5. 
• In the 2023 season, Allmendinger has led one lap, earned one top 10 and four top-15 finishes.

“Sonoma is always a special, important weekend for me. It’s near where I grew up and I still get to see a lot of friends and family there. Quite honestly, it’s a racetrack that I don’t have a very good average finish. I’ve felt like I’ve always been fast there, but it hasn’t worked out. Being able to run both races [NXS and NCS] I’m really looking forward to it. Sonoma is a racetrack I’ve always wanted to win at knowing it’s my home racetrack and I would be able to do that in front of a lot of friends and family. Hopefully we can go back there and have some success to keep building on our program.”

Justin Haley, No. 31 Cirkul Camaro ZL1

• Justin Haley has made two starts at Sonoma Raceway in the NCS.

• After completing the 2023 Coca-Cola 600 and Alsco Uniforms 300, Haley now holds the record for the most NASCAR National Series miles completed in a single day by any driver in NASCAR history.

“Sonoma is another road course I really enjoy. We finished 12^th there last year and had a great day as a team overall. We’ve had a string of really solid races the last few weeks and have worked really well as a team, so I’m looking forward to going into the off weekend on a high note.”

• Daniel Hemric has made one start at Sonoma in the NCS where he finished 15th.
