Justin C. Haley (born April 28, 1999) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 51 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Rick Ware Racing. He previously went by his nickname J. J. Haley, until he switched to his first name in January 2016 to avoid confusion with fellow competitor J. J. Yeley. Haley owns Darkhorse Racecars, a dirt late model and dirt modified chassis manufacturer.
Haley had a shocking win in the 2019 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona in just his third career Cup Series start due to being in the lead, through pit strategy, under caution when lightning and eventual rain hit the area. After scoring his first Xfinity victory in 2020, Haley became the 32nd driver to win a race in all three NASCAR national touring series.
Haley started the 2024 season with a 26th place finish at the 2024 Daytona 500. At the Circuit of the Americas, Haley finished 17th, but was later disqualified after post-race inspection revealed his car did not meet the minimum weight requirement. At the Goodyear 400 at Darlington, Haley would put up a solid race and finish 9th, earning his first Top 10 with Rick Ware Racing. Two weeks later at Gateway he would score his second Top 10, another 9th place finish.
