Justin Haley (born April 28, 1999) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado for GMS Racing and part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the Nos. 23 and 24 Chevrolet Camaros for GMS Racing. He was formerly known as J. J. Haley until he changed his name in January 2016 to avoid confusion with fellow competitor J. J. Yeley.

Racing career

Haley began his racing career at age 9 in Quarter Midgets at Kokomo Quarter Midget Club during the late summer months of 2008. In 2009 and 2010 he scored the KQMC, Indiana State Series and Light 160 State Championships while in 2011.[1]

Regional series

In 2014, Haley ran three K&N Pro Series East races, recording a best finish of seventh at Dover International Speedway.[2] The next year, he joined HScott Motorsports to compete full-time in the Pro Series East, competing for Rookie of the Year honors.[3] In 2016, Haley recorded his first career Pro Series East win at Greenville-Pickens Speedway.[4] Haley won his first Pro Series East championship in 2016 after finishing in the top-ten in all 14 races, the only driver to do so in series history.[5]

Camping World Truck Series

In 2015, Haley made his Camping World Truck Series debut at Bristol with Braun Motorsports, driving the No. 32 Chevrolet Silverado[6] and finishing 14th. His following Truck race at Martinsville Speedway ended when he was involved in a crash on lap 119.[7] At Phoenix International Raceway, Haley recorded his first top ten, when he finished in seventh.[8] On December 9, 2016, it was announced that Haley would drive the No. 24 truck for GMS Racing in 2017, starting with the third race of the year.[9]

Haley joined GMS full-time in 2017, driving the No. 24 Silverado.[10] However, Haley missed the first two races – the NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway and the Active Pest Control 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway – due to NASCAR's age restriction. Scott Lagasse Jr. and Alex Bowman replaced Haley at Daytona and Atlanta, respectively.[11][12] He missed the playoffs and finished 12th in the final point standings. In 2018, he earned his first career win at Gateway in June, locking him into the playoffs for the first time ever. Haley would get his 2nd win of the season at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, after leaders Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson took each other out in the final corner.

Xfinity Series

In June 2018, Haley made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Iowa Speedway, driving the No. 23 for GMS Racing while filling for Spencer Gallagher.[13] He would go onto finish 12th.

Haley drove the No. 24 car at Daytona in July 2018 for GMS Racing, where he unofficially won the race ahead of Kyle Larson and Elliott Sadler. However, it was revealed that Haley went below the double yellow line to pass both of the leaders just before the finish line and NASCAR ruled Haley's pass illegal after the race, giving Kyle Larson the win, while Haley finished 18th.[14]

Personal life

Haley is the nephew of Todd Braun, owner of Braun Motorsports.[15] He lives in North Carolina. He is one of 4 children, with 2 younger sisters and an older brother. Haley is a big believer in a healty lifestyle, having previously gone vegan for stretches of time.[16]
