J. Kennington.[2]

For 2014, Hayley moved to the K&N Pro Series East full-time with Turner Scott Motorsports, driving the No. 98 Chevrolet Impala that had won the championship the year before with Dylan Kwasniewski.[8] Hayley earned a pole and seven top fives to finish second in points behind teammate Ben Rhodes.
