For the fifth year LeafFilter Gutter Protection will return to Kaulig Racing and adorn the No. 11 driven by NASCAR driver Justin Haley.
LeafFilter has been with Kaulig Racing since the teams inception and is now considered one of the longest running sponsors in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
LeafFilter got it’s first taste of sponsorship in NASCAR when they sponsored a NASCAR Cup Series team in 2014.
In 2015, the company signed on for 24 races and then made the decision to go full-time sponsorship mode in 2016.
The company was started by Kaulig Racing team owner, Matt Kaulig at his home in Hudson, Ohio in 2005. It’s now grown to be the largest customer home products business within’ the United States.
“I am so excited to have LeafFilter back on the Kaulig Racing No. 11 Chevy for our fifth year, along with the same paint scheme we had since the very beginning!” exclaimed Kaulig in a team press release. “We now have 68 LeafFilter locations in the U.S. and Canada and our employees, customers and partners are crazy excited for 2020!”
Kaulig Racing driver Justin Haley piloted the No. 11 for the full 33 race schedule during the 2019 season and will once again sport the LeafFilter colors on his No. 11 Chevrolet for the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.
“Having LeafFilter on my No. 11 car during my rookie season last year for all 33 races was awesome,” said Haley. “Now to have them come back to do my second full-season is a true testament to Matt (Kaulig) and his success. I am honored to be able to represent him and his company for the 2020 season.
As a primary sponsor, LeafFilter has earned 42 top-10 and five top-five finishes since it’s first sponsorship season in 2016. In addition, it’s also made the playoffs every year.
“Having LeafFilter on a NXS car for the last six seasons is huge for our brand, as well as Kaulig Racing,” said Jeff Beck, CEO of LeafFilter Gutter Protection. “LeafFilter offers the best gutter protection system on the market, and we are proud to take that mindset to the track each week.”
LeafFilter and Justin Haley will be on track for the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season opener from the famed Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 15 on FS1 at 2:30pm ET.
