2025 Hopes and Expectations
Unfortunately, Kaulig’s Cup Series teams have not had the success their Xfinity Series program has had. Whether it’s a case of them pushing more funding to the Xfinity side, or not having as much success learning the Next-Gen Car in the Cup Series, the fact remains that they have been less consistent in NASCAR’s top series. Moving AJ Allmendinger back up to the Cup Series certainly gives them a shot at any of the road courses, and while Ty Dillon’s talent has yet to fully blossom, he likely brings some solid funding with him that could push them over the edge and get them a car in the playoffs.
