The reigning Xfinity Series champion Justin Allgaier is set race in the 2025 Daytona 500, leading JR Motorsports on their cup debut. He will drive the No:40 Chevy, with the technical support from Hendrick Motorsports and the financial support from their primary sponsor Travellers Whiskey, owned by Grammy Award-Winning Artist Chris Stapleton.
With Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. as his boss, supporting him, the champion driver has a lot hopes about the Daytona 500 entry. The number one factor that is giving him hope is having Junior as his mentor. The ex-HMS driver has won the race twice in his career and has always been one of the most competent racers at the track over the years.
You’re going to have to go try and see what you can accomplish. Number one, I have a great mentor in superspeedway racing.
Justin Allgaier said via Cup Scene.
The second factor that gives him hope is that fact that he has been good at Daytona in the Xfinity series since joining JRM. Him winning the race two years ago in the second division and the belief in his capacity gives him more hope.
And number two, we’ve had success on superspeedways in the past, we won Daytona not this past summer but the summer before in the Xfinity Series, so there are things that I think are going for us in that capacity but it’s not lost on me how much pressure there is.
Justin Allgaier added.
