The veteran driver and primary sponsor Brandt Professional Agriculture both signed multi-year extensions, which run through the end of the 2026 Xfinity Series season. Brandt will serve as the primary sponsor of Allgaier and the No. 7 Chevrolet in 20 events each season and as an associate partner in the rest of the races.
"It feels great to be returning to JRM and to continue our partnership with Brandt Professional Agriculture," Allgaier said in a statement. "Brandt has played such an integral part in my career and I am extremely proud of everything that we have accomplished thus far together.
"I'm honored to be able to continue to drive this No. 7 Chevrolet for Dale (Earnhardt Jr.) and Kelley (Earnhardt Miller) and compete for race wins and championships. Hopefully, we can get this renewal jumpstarted on a strong note and finish off these playoffs in the best way possible."
The signing of Allgaier finalizes another JR Motorsports entry. The team has already announced that Carson Kvapil will drive the No. 1 in 2025 while Connor Zilisch will drive the No. 88.
Brandt Professional Agriculture first joined forces with Allgaier in the 2011 season when he drove for Turner Scott Motorsports. The Indiana native won two races in his first two seasons with Brandt as his primary partner, including a fuel mileage race at Chicagoland Speedway.
The partnership continued in 2016 as Allgaier joined JR Motorsports to drive the No. 7 Chevrolet. It has remained in place ever since as Allgaier has won 22 races and reached the Championship 4 six times in the last eight seasons.
The veteran driver will try to reach the Championship 4 once more after announcing this extension. He will first take on Homestead-Miami Speedway and then he will close out the Round of 8 at Martinsville Speedway, the track where he won last season.
"On behalf of everyone at Team Brandt, we are beyond happy to extend our decade-long partnership with Justin and JR Motorsports for the next two seasons," said Rick Brandt, president and CEO of Brandt, in a statement.
"Our philosophy has always been to win in the field and on the track, and this partnership has helped us do just that. But before we start looking ahead to next year, there's still one thing left to do this year: Let's go win that 2024 championship."
