PENSKE SIGNS ALLGAIER FOR PART-TME RIDE from Captain Thunder.

This is the same Justin Allgaier that runs the Chili Bowl and other open wheel races.
His Dad Mike owns Hooiser Tire Mid-West.

Congrats.

Penske Racing has named Justin Allgaier as its Nationwide Series driver for select races in 2008 and 2009.

“We’ve had our eye on Justin for some time, and Penske Racing is fortunate to be in a position to bring him on board,” Penske Racing president Tim Cindric said in a news release. “Roger always enjoys the opportunity to grow people within our system and we are looking forward to helping him achieve his career goals.”

The 22-year-old Allgaier was the youngest driver in Chili Bowl history to advance to the final event when he accomplished that feat in the prestigious Midget race at age 14. Allgaier has three career ARCA wins and 13 top-10s in 18 career ARCA races. He also has competed in eight Craftsman Truck Series races.

“What a great opportunity to join Penske Racing and to show what we are capable of together in the Nationwide Series,” Allgaier said.

Congrats to Justin and the whole Allgaier family.....a great bunch!
What a great opportunity for Little Gator, as this seems to be the path he was striving for these past several years. But he can drive the $hit out of a Midget:thumb

Good people. Justin has become a great racer. Good for him.

Justin is a real good driver in anything he gets in. He is a super nice guy too. I missed seeing him in the Silver Crown this year, but Bergfeld sold his SC car. Good luck Justin, I know you'll do well.

I'll second what Morty said! Don't ever take your eyes off the blue 86 when he runs Lil Belleville...
