With this week’s news that Clint Bowyer will join HScott Motorsports for the 2016 season before moving over to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2017, questions remain about the team’s complete lineup for next season. The team currently fields two Sprint Cup Series cars with drivers #51-Justin Allgaier and #46-Michael Annett, something that is likely to change for next season with Bowyer coming on board. During Friday’s press conference at Dover International Speedway, team owner Harry Scott indicated he has not “ruled out anything for 2016 or beyond,” but it appears Allgaier may be the odd man out. With Annett bringing support from Pilot/Flying J, Allgaier indicated there are a lot of unknowns surrounding his current situation and future plans. Allgaier said there were “definitely a lot of options” for 2016 and beyond, but added that it was too early to tell how it would all come together. A longtime representative of Brandt, he hopes to continue that relationship wherever he lands after this season. Along with its Sprint Cup organization, HScott Motorsports fields teams in the XFINITY and K&N Series, another possible landing place for Allgaier next season. “There are definitely a lot of options, but there are also a lot of moving parts. This has got to be something that works out on all sides for everybody no matter how we do it,” he said. “I’ve been proud to wear the Brandt colors for five, six years now and I look forward to doing that in the future. I don’t know what series or what car that’s going to end up being in. There’s just a lot of excitement for me to see what the future holds.”(Fox Sports)(10-5-2015)
