Chip Ganassi Racing officials announced Wednesday that AJ Allmendinger would drive the team’s #42 Dodge in the next five Busch Series races. Allmendinger’s first race in the car will be this weekend’s Camping World 300 at California Speedway. Allmendinger drives Team Red Bull’s #84 Toyota in the Nextel Cup Series, and the agreement with Ganassi allows Allmendinger, a rookie in Cup, more seat time in a NASCAR stock car. Allmendinger will also drive the $42 at Richmond, Dover, Kansas and Charlotte.(SceneDaily.com)(8-29-2007)
