  • JR Motorsports announced Wednesday that reigning Xfinity Series champion Justin Allgaier will attempt next month's Daytona 500 piloting the No. 40 Chevrolet in partnership with 10-time Grammy Award-winning artist Chris Stapleton.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. explained the significance behind JR Motorsports selecting car No. 40 for the Daytona 500. He highlighted that the number 40 was chosen to honor his father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., who drove the No. 40 car in his first NASCAR Cup Series race in 1975 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This choice reflects a deep personal connection and a tribute to his father's racing legacy. Additionally, Earnhardt Jr. mentioned that the number 40 has been used by JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series, making it a familiar and meaningful number for the team. The decision also aligns with the team's strategy to honor its history while competing in one of NASCAR's most prestigious events.
