In a bold move that has sent ripples through the NASCAR community, Kaulig Racing has hired Ty Norris as its new Chief Business Officer.

Norris's extensive resume includes stints at some of NASCAR's most renowned organizations. He spent eight years at Dale Earnhardt Inc. (1996-2004), followed by a brief tenure at Speedway Motorsports Inc. Norris then joined Michael Waltrip Racing, where he played a key role in building the team from the ground up.

After Michael Waltrip Racing closed, Norris moved to Spire Sports + Entertainment before teaming up with Justin Marks to establish Trackhouse Racing on the foundations of Chip Ganassi Racing.

Norris's expertise in the sponsorship arena is crucial for Kaulig Racing. As the team expands its operations, he brings a proven ability to cultivate and nurture partnerships that are essential for success in the competitive NASCAR landscape.

Kaulig's statement at the time of Norris's hiring alluded to the team's ambition to "solidify the trajectory of its NASCAR Cup Series program well into the future." Kaulig Racing has achieved numerous victories in the Xfinity Series, but the team is eager for greater achievements in NASCAR's top division.

Norris has a close working relationship with Kaulig, having collaborated on projects such as Shane van Gisbergen's loan to Kaulig Racing's Xfinity Series team this season. van Gisbergen will join Trackhouse full-time in the Cup Series next year.

Kaulig Racing is poised to benefit significantly from Norris's addition, leveraging his vast knowledge and industry connections to drive the team's growth and competitiveness in the years to come.
