Kaulig Racing Has Some Speed, but Probably Not Enough for A.J. Allmendinger to Contend
2 months agoAlthough Kaulig Racing has not had much speed on most tracks other than road courses this year with any driver in either the NASCAR Cup Series or the Xfinity Series, they have been decent on the drafting tracks in both series as A.J. Allmendinger did finish 6th in the Daytona 500 where he made a pass for the lead and Shane van Gisbergen and Daniel Hemric both made passes for the lead in the spring Talladega race. On the other hand, Allmendinger has only led 11 laps at Talladega in his long career and has crashed out of four of his last six starts, which does not inspire much confidence and he is only starting 25th. However, he did lead 13 laps in yesterday's Xfinity Series race and he won once in 2022 in that division. Expect Allmendinger to lead a couple laps at some point without significantly contending.
