AJ Allmendinger has no plans to step away from racing anytime soon.
Allmendinger told reporters Saturday at Naval Base Coronado that he’s set to return to Kaulig Racing’s No. 16 car in the NASCAR Cup Series with no changes imminent.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Allmendinger said. “Like, I laugh when I see that. I mean, according to Chris [Rice, team CEO], I’ve got a contract till like 2032, so I’m not going anywhere. So I do kind of laugh about, like, ‘oh, next year?’ I’m like, that’s not on my mind because I’m here for life in one way or another.”

“I think it’s always whether I’m doing a good enough job and I’m further moving us and our race team [forward],” Allmendinger said. “That’s what goes back to that frustration part of it. That’s why I’m always like, I need to be better to keep moving us forward. But that’s up to Matt [Kaulig, team owner] and Chris. But yeah, at the end of the day, we’re not going anywhere.”
