Eighteen year-old Justin Allgaier recently inked a deal with MB Motorsports [#63] to align for a limited 2005 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule with hopes to continue the teams tradition of boosting the careers of several Midwestern drivers. Late drivers whos legacies still live on, such as the 1998 NASCAR Nextel Cup Rookie of the Year Kenny Irwin, Jr., and Tony Roper both drove for Mike Mittler. Likewise, Carl Edwards, the 2003 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion, and 2003 NASCAR Nextel Cup Rookie of the Year Jamie McMurray both received their NASCAR start at MB Motorsports.
The team is tentatively planning a seven race schedule with Allgaier, who will continue to compete in dirt late models, the ARCA RE/MAX Series, USAC Silver Crown series and midgets in addition to completing his freshman year of college. While scheduling is tentative, proposed NASCAR venues include Gateway, Milwaukee, Kansas, Kentucky, Bristol, Texas and Las Vegas.
