Josh Williams will join fellow Xfinity series racer Justin Allgaier at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City Dirt Race. Justin Allgaier will make his return to Cup Series by taking over the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro and the team noted that Allgaier will run a similar scheme to what he uses in the Xfinity Series on his first dirt race.

Reacting to his race debut at Bristol Justin Allgaier in a press release said it was a no-brainer for him to join Spire at Bristol as Xfinity Series has the weekend off and considering the opportunity it provides.

“Since the NASCAR Xfinity Series has the weekend off, we decided to have a little fun over Easter and go mix it up at Bristol Motor Speedway. When BRANDT decided to come on board with Spire Motorsports for the Food City Dirt Race, it was a no-brainer. It’s going to be a fun change of pace to play in the dirt with all the Cup Series regulars,” Justin Allgaier said in the press release.
