NASCAR News: Hendrick Motorsports has confirmed that Justin Allgaier will practice and qualify Kyle Larson’s car for the All-Star Race this weekend….
Hendrick Motorsports has officially confirmed that Justin Allgaier will handle practice and qualifying duties for Kyle Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet at the NASCAR All-Star Race weekend. With Larson fulfilling his commitment to race in the Indy 500, Allgaier steps in to ensure the car is properly dialed in ahead of Sunday’s main event.
This isn’t the first time Allgaier, a seasoned Xfinity Series veteran, has filled in under similar circumstances. While Larson will return in time to compete in the All-Star Race itself, Allgaier’s role is critical for gathering data and helping the team set up the car for success. Hendrick Motorsports expressed full confidence in Allgaier’s ability to represent the team effectively during Larson’s absence.
The move reflects the increasingly ambitious schedules of top-tier drivers like Larson, who continue to push boundaries by balancing NASCAR and IndyCar commitments. Fans can expect an exciting weekend of cross-series action as Larson attempts the Indy 500/Coca-Cola 600 double, with Allgaier playing a key supporting role.
