As the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East heads to VIRginia International Raceway for Saturday afternoon’s Biscuitville 125, Justin Haley looks to continue his strong start to the 2016 season. Haley earned his first career victory in March when he led 28 laps en route to victory at Greenville-Pickens Speedway.

Haley’s streak of four top-ten finishes to start the season in the No. 5 Braun Auto Chevrolet has him second in the championship standings, a mere three points behind series leader Kyle Benjamin.

Last season in his VIR debut, Haley qualified third and finished fifth. The Indiana native led six laps in the race and earned a top-five result in a wild ending that required two attempts at a green-white-checkered finish. Continue reading →

Chase Elliott took the NASCAR XFINITY (then Nationwide) Series by storm in 2014, winning three races en route to capturing the championship in his rookie campaign.
