Justin Allgaier will remain with JR Motorsports through at least 2026, which should boost morale for the No. 7 team as they focus on the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs. At 38 years old, Allgaier will be 40 by the end of this extension and continues to demonstrate his competitiveness by winning races and contending for championships. Earlier this year, he also became the all-time leader in top-10 finishes in the series.
Having a seasoned driver like Allgaier is a significant advantage for JR Motorsports. His deep commitment to the Xfinity Series is evident, and he looks forward to building on his success. Brandt will continue to sponsor the No. 7 car, reinforcing their partnership with Allgaier and JR Motorsports.
Allgaier’s record speaks for itself, with expectations that he will surpass 500 starts in the Xfinity Series by the end of his extension. With more races ahead, he could potentially add numerous wins, top-10 finishes, and pole awards to his impressive tally.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller, CEO of JR Motorsports, expressed enthusiasm for the ongoing partnership with Allgaier and Brandt. She highlighted the strong connection between the Brandt family and the team, emphasizing that the No. 7 car has consistently performed well within the garage.
As the championship chase progresses, Allgaier is well aware of the importance of the upcoming races at Homestead-Miami and Martinsville. Despite comparisons to Denny Hamlin, both drivers share a common challenge: a quest for a championship title. With his experience and dedication, many are wondering if 2024 will finally be the year Allgaier achieves that elusive championship.
