A.J. Allmendinger Could have Another Strong run at Sonoma
A.J. Allmendinger, driver of the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet, will start in the eighth position for this week's Toyota/Save Mart 250 at Sonoma Raceway. This marks the first time since 2017 and 2018 that Allmendinger earned two consecutive top-10 starting positions in qualifying in two consecutive Sonoma Cup races. In 14 Cup races at the site, Allmendinger has four top-10 finishes, including two of the last three Cup events. After 17 races so far this year, Allmendinger has three top-10 finishes, with all of them coming in the three road course events. In practice for this week's race, Allmendinger ranked first in five consecutive lap averages. Allmendinger's background is in road course racing, which lends itself well to Sonoma. With his high practice speeds, road course proficiency, and high starting position, Allmendinger makes for a sneaky tournament option capable of competing for a top-5 finish.
