NASCAR silly season is getting closer to a conclusion as the 2023 season has been completed. There have been several ride announcements, such as Josh Berry to Stewart-Haas Racing and Justin Haley to Rick Ware Racing. However, there are still two major seats open with the No. 10 car for Stewart-Haas Racing and the No. 16 car for Kaulig Racing.
Well, one of those rides might actually have a driver for the 2024 NASCAR season. [autotag]Dale Earnhardt Jr.[/autotag] talked about Kaulig Racing on his podcast, The Dale Jr. Download, and appeared to leak a big NASCAR silly season story as the driver of the No. 16 car in 2024 as yet to be announced.

“Daniel Hemric is coming back into the [NASCAR Cup Series] with [Kaulig Racing]. Ty Dillon is going over there to run the second car, and so, those cars struggled so badly at [Phoenix Raceway],” Earnhardt said. “It was not good. I think this is going to be a very difficult year on the Cup side for Kaulig.”
Dillon has been mentioned as the “favorite” to drive the No. 16 Cup car but Earnhardt appears to have spoiled the news. It has not been announced yet but the former NASCAR driver is well connected to what happens in the garage area. For now, the NASCAR world will wait for Kaulig Racing’s announcement but it may have already been leaked.
