Richard Childress’s Grandson Faces Uncertainty as AJ Allmendinger Eyes Epic Cup Series Comeback

A question has been making the rounds through the NASCAR community: Where will AJ Allmendinger race next year? And how it will affect the young grandson of Richard Childress. Hold onto your racing helmets, folks, because the answer might be as unpredictable as a last-lap pass for the checkered flag!

Revving up speculations from last week, road racing expert AJ Allmendinger hinted at a full-time commitment, but with a twist! The decision rests not in his capable hands but in the shrewd minds at Kaulig Racing. Cup or Xfinity? That’s the million-dollar question, and Allmendinger leaves the answer to the pros. The suspense is building faster than a race car at the Daytona Superspeedway.

AJ Allmendinger’s bold declaration

But wait, the plot thickens! If Allmendinger opts for the Xfinity Series, Kaulig Racing might have a shiny spot waiting for Ty Dillon, who drives the #77 full-time in Cup for Spire Motorsports and #3 part-time for Richard Childress in Xfinity. The domino effect doesn’t end there, folks! Enter Carson Hocevar, a rising star in the truck racing world, lurking on the horizon as the top candidate for the vacated seat. The possibilities are as thrilling as a last-lap pass for the checkered flag!

In an interview with SiriusXM, he revealed that he’s open to whichever path Kaulig Racing chooses for him. “At the end of the day, I don’t have a preference,” AJ stated. 

AJ Allmendinger, the versatile virtuoso, is ready to embrace the unknown. Will he continue his daredevilry in the Cup Series, or could he descend to the Xfinity Series and stir up some dust there? It’s a puzzle where even the driver doesn’t have all the pieces.
