Being in a contract year, Justin_Haley_ knows just how important 2023 will be for his NASCAR career. Well he's off to a strong start, leading all in qualifying for the Clash at the L.A. Coliseum:
“I felt like we had a pretty good No. 31 Chevy in practice. I just felt like I wasn’t getting the full potential out of the race car, and then obviously in qualifying, our lap was just dominant,” Haley, 23, said.
“It’s pretty cool to get Kaulig Racing their first NASCAR Cup Series pole; my first pole as a driver in my second year here.”Haley struggled in his first season with Kaulig, finishing 22nd in the series standings with three top-five and four top-10 finishes. His best finish was third, which he accomplished twice – at Darlington in the spring and Texas in the fall.
He also knows the Kaulig organization is a young one in the Cup Series and 2023 will be the first time the organization will have two drivers compete fulltime for the series championship. “We have to earn our name in the sport, earn my name in the sport. I have to feel like I belong, which has been tough for me. It was a very humbling year last year trying to figure out if I belong at the top or not.By the end of the 2022 season, Haley believes his No. 31 team was running much more consistently and he was beginning gain the attention of his fellow competitors.
