Main Story: Justin Allgaier and longtime sponsor BRANDT will return to JR Motorsports in 2027 under a new multi-year agreement, ending speculation that he would retire from full-time racing after this season. Allgaier says he “wasn’t quite ready yet” and will continue driving the No. 7 Chevrolet as he pursues the 2026 championship.

  • 2027: New deal begins.
  • 6: Wins this season, a career high.
  • 22: Points Allgaier leads the championship Chase by.
  • 32: Wins in 362 starts with JR Motorsports.
  • 34: Career wins in 536 series starts.
State of Play
  • Allgaier is one of five drivers competing for the 2026 title in Saturday’s finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
  • He is seeking a second series championship after winning his first in 2024.
What’s Next

The championship race is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at 5 p.m. ET, airing on The CW, MRN Radio and SiriusXM. A win would make Allgaier the series’ 10th multiple-time champion.
