[autotag]Kaulig Racing[/autotag] is undergoing a lot of changes within its driver lineups as the 2023 NASCAR season comes to a close. Daniel Hemric will move up to the organization’s No. 31 Cup car while Chandler Smith is expected to join Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024. However, A.J. Allmendinger is likely to move back to Kaulig Racing’s Xfinity program, which leaves this driver as the favorite for the No. 16 Cup car.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Ty Dillon is the “favorite” to replace Allmendinger at Kaulig Racing in the No. 16 Cup car next season. Dillon currently drives for Spire Motorsports but his No. 77 car has been given to Carson Hocevar for the 2024 NASCAR season. Dillon has a best-finish of 19th place at Texas Motor Speedway during the 2023 playoffs.
The 31-year-old driver has been linked to Kaulig Racing for a long time and it appears that he could be the choice for the No. 16 car. Dillon would undoubtedly have the best equipment of his Cup Series career as Kaulig Racing has the ability to win races. While nothing is official, Dillon could be on his way to the race team sooner rather than later.
