Experienced NASCAR campaigner AJ Allmendinger has said, in a video posted by him on Twitter, that he will return with Kaulig Racing for the 2021 season. Although it is not clear whether it will be a full-time commitment, it will delight his fans to see him on the track again next year.
The veteran from California, who turns 39 next month, might not be done with racing yet. Allmendinger also works as a motorsports analyst with NBC Sports, which could indicate a part-time racing commitment with Kaulig for 2021.
He stated in the video, “When it comes to 2021, I can tell you this. I will be back at Kaulig Racing. How many races, I don’t know yet. We are working together on my schedule and how many races will fit into my schedule next year, and especially for Kaulig Racing as well.
