Two NASCAR drivers confirm their 2026 racing plans, bringing clarity to the upcoming season amidst the season's end. Jesse Love and Justin Allgaier, speaking at Talladega Superspeedway, revealed their commitments to Richard Childress Racing and JR Motorsports, respectively.
Love, who will drive the No. 2 Chevrolet for a third consecutive season, expressed his eagerness to expand his Cup Series races. With five starts and a 24th-place finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Love aims to enhance his performance. As an Xfinity driver, he has achieved success with two wins and consistent top-10 finishes.
Allgaier, driving the No. 7 for an 11th consecutive season, reflects on his journey with JR Motorsports. After two Cup seasons, he joined the team in 2016, accumulating 25 wins and a championship. Allgaier's talent is evident, but a change awaits after the season. Crew chief Jim Pohlman's move to Richard Childress Racing with Kyle Busch poses a challenge for Allgaier.
The driver's focus remains on the championship, with Pohlman's commitment to winning a second consecutive title. Allgaier emphasizes the importance of their partnership, expressing confidence in their ability to achieve success together. The anticipation builds as the season finale at Phoenix Raceway approaches, leaving fans eager to see the outcomes of these racing plans.
