Roger Penske, who in June said there was no way JUstin Allgaier would get away from his organization, has since told his 24-year-old driver he is free to look around. Penske has told Allgaier the only way he can keep him even in the Nationwide Series is if a sponsor steps up. None have so far. Allgaier isn’t holding his breath. So Allgaier is talking to Cup and Nationwide teams around the garage, but the same problem exists. No sponsor. Richard Petty Motorsports would be an ideal place for this budding star. Joe Gibbs Racing has been rumored to show interest. Allgaier admits he’s had casual talks with both of them, but not to the point he would say there is strong interest unless he has a sponsor promising to come with him. “I’ve made a decision that I want to stay in this sport next year,” Allgaier said with a smile. “Other than that it’s not really up to me. It’s frustrating in some aspects because there’s not a whole lot available. Whatever happens at this point is going to happen.”(ESPN.com)(10-16-2010)
