Kaulig Racing now has three full-time drivers locked down for the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season.

After signing 2025 ARCA Menards Series champion Brenden Queen, the team announced on Wednesday that Daniel Dye and Justin Haley will be driving full-time for the organization in its first Truck Series season in 2026.

Dye is driving for Kaulig's NASCAR Xfinity Series program this season, while Haley - who is currently driving for Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series - drove for the team's Xfinity Series program from 2019-21.

Justin Haley, Daniel Dye bring experience to new team

Haley and Dye and both relatively young drivers - 26 and 21, respectively - but both bring experience to what will be a new Truck Series team.

Haley has 179 Cup Series starts, 108 Xfinity Series starts and 53 Truck Series starts to his credit, including three Truck Series wins and a Championship 4 berth in 2018. Dye is a veteran of 44 Xfinity Series starts and 46 Truck Series starts, and made the Truck Series playoffs in 2024.

For a new Truck Series program working with a new manufacturer in RAM, having a young but experienced group of drivers in Queen, Haley and Dye should pay dividends.
