After conversations about a potential retirement earlier this year, Justin Allgaier has been confirmed to be returning to the No. 7 Chevrolet for 2027 and beyond.
The current O’Reilly Auto Parts Series points leader and 2024 series champion, along with Junior Motorsports, dropped the announcement on social media not long ago, Monday afternoon. In the announcement, Justin said, “At the beginning of the year, I knew that it was the year I was going to retire… But … I wasn’t quite ready yet.”
Justin Allgaier’s 2026 season has brought six victories, and he currently sits 22 points above second place heading to Homestead-Miami this weekend. Since the Chase has started, Justin has finished outside of the top 5 only three times.
Justin Allgaier is the 6th-most-winning driver in series history, and he will be looking to continue to climb that ladder.
