Kaulig Racing parted ways Wednesday with NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Josh Williams after less than two years together.

Williams, 31, had been behind the wheel of the No. 11 Chevrolet since the start of the 2024 season, posting six top-10 finishes in 54 starts.

Only two of those top-10 finishes have come in his 21 starts this season. Williams was seventh at Rockingham on April 19 and sixth at Charlotte on May 24. He finished 22nd last weekend at Indianapolis.

"As most of you have seen, Kaulig Racing has made the decision to release me for the remainder of the season," Williams posted on X. "This has been a difficult day for my family, friends, long-time partners and fans, whom I can't thank enough for standing by my side through all of this. We will be back soon and looking forward to a much brighter chapter in my racing career. I wish nothing but the best for my guys on the 11 team."

Williams has run 231 Xfinity races with no wins over the past 10 years. He previously drove for DGM Racing, B.J. McLeod Motorsports, King Autosport and Jimmy Means Racing.

Kaulig Racing said it will use multiple drivers in the No. 11 for the remaining 12 races on the Xfinity schedule, which continues Saturday at Iowa Speedway.
