The driver Justin Haley has achieved that the team Kaulig Racing obtains its first top 5 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, a notable milestone after a year full of difficulties. This has been the first time that a RAM truck finishes among the top five since the brand’s return to the championship.
Since its return with five vehicles, the team has had a complicated start, competing without prior notes and without simulators. Despite this, they have achieved 15 top 10s, culminating in a fourth place at Bristol.
Haley emphasized that this has been a great victory for the entire team: ‘I am very proud of everyone who works at Kaulig Racing and RAM; it has been a tough year, and finishing fourth with one of our oldest vehicles is a great achievement for us,’ he commented after the race.
The last top 5 for a RAM truck in the NASCAR Truck Series was achieved by Ryan Blaney at Phoenix in 2012. Furthermore, Haley was the only driver from the team to qualify among the top 15, while his teammates finished in lower positions.
The progression of Kaulig Racing has been palpable, with Haley acknowledging the importance of this result for the morale of the group. ‘It has been a year of fighting, and this fourth place is proof that we can compete with the best. We need to keep working to improve,’ he added.
This first top 5 not only credits the team’s effort but also serves as motivation to continue building a solid foundation in the upcoming seasons. The team hopes that this result helps accelerate their progress and maintain competitiveness in future races.
