Justin Allgaier oficializou o que o paddock já esperava: em 2027 ele vai em busca do título da O'Reilly Auto Parts Series mais uma vez, ao volante do Chevrolet número 7 da JR Motorsports, com a parceira de longa data BRANDT.
Aos 40 anos, ele venceu o campeonato em 2024 e chega à final deste fim de semana com 22 pontos de vantagem na caça ao segundo título da equipe de Dale Earnhardt Jr.
O currículo na segunda divisão da NASCAR é extenso: mais de 500 largadas e 34 vitórias, 31 delas com a JRM. Ele também levou o carro da equipe à Cup na Daytona 500: nono em 2025 e, em 2026, fora da liderança e na parede.
Allgaier chegou à JR Motorsports em 2016 e terminou entre os cinco primeiros da tabela em todas as temporadas desde então, com uma única exceção. Ele chama 2026 de seu melhor ano, com seis vitórias até aqui.
A equipe alinha cinco carros — o 1, o 7, o 8, o 9 e o 88 — e eles somam 17 vitórias em 32 corridas nesta temporada, incluindo um 1-2-3-4 histórico no Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
