NASCAR Xfinity Series HyVee Perks 250 At Iowa Speedway: Josh Williams Out at Kaulig Racing; Justin Allgaier Earns Top Odds

Kaulig Racing is moving on without driver Josh Williams. 

The Welcome, North Carolina-based organization announced Wednesday that Williams has been separated from the No. 11 Chevrolet team. Cup Series regular Carson Hocevar will replace Williams for Saturday’s event at Iowa Speedway. 

A series of drivers are scheduled to fill in over the final 12 events this season. 

Kaulig Racing’s three-garage Xfinity department has struggled this season, failing to visit Victory Lane. Rookies Christian Eckes and Daniel Dye rank 16th and 17th in the drivers’ standings, respectively. Williams was 19th.  

Joining Kaulig as a full-time driver before the 2024 season, Williams, 31, posted just six top-10s in 54 starts. 

Points leader Justin Allgaier (+240) earned the top sports-betting odds to earn Saturday’s title, according to BetOnline Sportsbook.

Busy Jesse Love Overcomes Poor Pit Stop 

Jesse Love had a busy weekend at Indianapolis. 

Before appearing in his fourth Cup Series race and finishing a career-best P24, Love competed for an Xfinity title at IMS. A poor pit stop “cost us some track position,” Love said via press release. “The No. 2 kept our heads down and rebounded the best we could.” 

Love still earned a top-10 (P9).
