Junebug announces 2016 driver selection for Xfinity Series

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

JR Motorsports (JRM) announced today it has entered into a multi-year partnership with BRANDT, a leading agriculture retailer and manufacturer of agricultural specialty products. Additionally, the team has named Justin Allgaier driver of the #7 Chevy Camaro, beginning in 2016. Allgaier will vie full-time for a NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) championship with BRANDT Professional Agriculture as a primary partner on the #7 in 18 of 33 events. BRANDT will receive associate placement in the remaining 15 races. The 2017 races will be announced at a later date. Jason Burdett, current crew chief of the #7 team, will serve in the same capacity with Allgaier. Allgaier and Elliott Sadler will be JR Motorsports' two drivers competing for the 2016 NXS championship. It was announced earlier this month that Sadler will drive JRM's car that is presently occupied by Chase Elliott. JRM's third team, the #88 "All-Star" car, will again race full-time with drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick and Kasey Kahne next season. Additional drivers for the #88 will be named at a later date. Source: (JR Motorsports)(10-28-2015) Media Press Release
