Allmendinger Not Returning to JTG

Silly Season Updates

AJ Allmendinger and JTG Daugherty Racing are parting ways at the end of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.

Allmendinger has raced for JTG Daugherty since 2013 and gave the team its lone Cup Series win in 2014 at Watkins Glen International.

“AJ Allmendinger has been a valuable asset to the growth of our company, and we are grateful for his professionalism with our brands and the passion he has shown for this race team over the years,” Tad Geschickter said. “As hard as it may be, we’re moving in a different direction for the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season and will be parting ways at the end of this season. It’s not an easy decision and change is never easy. We wish him the very best in his endeavors and he will always be family to us.”

Currently 24th in the standings, Allmendinger saw his best finish, and only top five, so far this season come at Daytona in July, third.
