Recently, JR Motorsports revealed Allgaier's fire suit for the upcoming season. Fans have been buzzing with excitement, sharing their reactions to this celebratory update.
Justin Allgaier plots the #7 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, competing full-time in the Xfinity Series. Allgaier has been a full-time competitor for Dale Jr.'s team since 2016. Last season, the Illinois native had one of his best-performing Xfinity campaigns. Besides making two trips to victory lane, Allgaier had 20 top-ten and 10 top-five finishes in 33 race starts.
JR Motorsports unveiled the fire suit for their championship-winning driver Justin Allgaier ahead of the 2025 season. Unlike previous years, this season's design features a notable addition under the Xfinity Series badge—a "Champion" tag, celebrating Allgaier's first title and marking a proud moment for the team.

"We can't go down": Justin Allgaier's team owner Dale Jr. reflects on Daytona 500 decision
JR Motorsports recently announced their participation in the 2025 Daytona 500, where they will run their #40 Traveller Whiskey Chevrolet, piloted by reigning Xfinity champion Justin Allgaier. Following the announcement, team owners Dale Jr. and Earnhardt Miller extended their views on the opportunity. (via Dirty Mo Media)
"We're in a position where we can't go down, we're starting at the bottom. I personally hope that this is the start of more opportunities for us to compete at the Cup level. Should it be a situation where it's very challenging, it would only motivate us to continue to go back. When we don't entirely succeed at something, we retool and try again," said Dale Jr.
Furthermore, two-time Xfinity Series champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. also pointed out something 'that doesn't' change in the historic Earnhardt racing family.
"And I love another thing that you've always said we race as life has changed. You know retiring from full-time cup racing and becoming a dad, and our own personal interests have changed. One thing that doesn't is we race" he added
The Daytona 500 is scheduled for February 16th at 2:30 PM Eastern time. Catch the action live on FOX, MRN, and SiriusXM.
