- Hendrick Motorsports announced early Wednesday morning that Justin Allgaier will drive the No. 48 Ally Chevrolet this weekend in Las Vegas in place of Alex Bowman. Bowman is still dealing with a case of vertigo that stems from his issues in the car at Circuit of the Americas.
Allgaier will replace Anthony Alfredo, who drove the car
Sunday in Phoenix. While he struggled early on, he took advantage of pit strategy to get closer to the front before crashing out of the race late.
- Garage 66 announced Wednesday that they signed a deal with Auto Direct USA for an expanded partnership. The company will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 66 Ford in multiple races starting at Darlington. Beyond Darlington,
Talladega is definite as an associate sponsor, but beyond that is unclear.
