Justin Allison (born June 25, 1992) is an American professionalstock car racing driver. He is the grandson of formerWinston Cup Series driverDonnie Allison, and the great nephew of1983 NASCAR Winston Cup Series championBobby Allison. He formerly competed in theARCA Racing Series from 2013 to 2014, winning one race atPocono Raceway in the latter year. Prior to this, he won theAllison Legacy Series title in 2010.
Allison was born inSalisbury, North Carolina on June 25, 1992, and attended and graduated fromWest Rowan High School.[1]
Allison first started racing at the age of five, competing in go-karts whilst working at his father's race shop. Allison would run in theAllison Legacy Series from 2006 to 2013, winning the championship in 2010, despite not winning a pole that year. He also ran in the PASS National Championship Super Late Model Series and the PASS South Super Late Model Series, as well as theX-1R Pro Cup Series.[2]
In 2013, Allison would make hisARCA Racing Series debut at theKansas Lottery 98.9 atKansas Speedway driving the No. 88Ford for Team BCR Racing, where he would start and finish eleventh.[3]
For 2014, Team BCR Racing announced that Allison would run in a select number of races during the2014 season, driving the team's No. 88 entry as a teammate to the team's main driverGrant Enfinger.[4] After a testing session at the track, he would make his first start at the season opener atDaytona International Speedway, where he would start twelfth, but ultimately finished thirty-sixth due to being caught up in a multi-car crash on the 12th lap.[5][6] After withdrawing from the second round atMobile International Speedway, he would make his next start atTalladega Superspeedway, where he would finish a lap down in 19th. In his next race atToledo Speedway, he would secure his first top-ten with a seventh-place finish after staying out early during an early caution period and after making a late pit stop on lap 130.[7]
Allison would make his next start atPocono Raceway, a track where he participated in a test a few days prior with the fastest time of 168.425 mph.[8] He would qualify a career best third, and finished in fifth place, his first top-five finish. He would improve that at the next race atMichigan Speedway, where he would finish in third place behindMason Mitchell and race winnerAustin Theriault. His next race would be atChicagoland Speedway, where he would ultimately start and finish eighth. He would then make his second short track race atLucas Oil Raceway, where he would start fifth, but finish thirteenth three laps down to race winnerBrandon Jones.
On the series' return toPocono Raceway on August 1, 2014, Allison would start fifth. In the race, Allison would pit on lap 16 after a couple of cautions marred the early portion of the race, satisfying ARCA's rules that state that drivers must pit at least once before the halfway point of the race, which in this event was lap 40.[9][10] Right before that lap,Brennan Poole andJustin Boston would pit, handing the lead to Allison, who was ahead ofWill Kimmel, who was on the same strategy as Allison. Allison would ultimately hold off the challenge from Kimmel to score his first careerARCA Racing Series win by four-tenths. He became the third member of the Allison family to win anARCA Racing Series race, and was the first by an Allison in a major stock car series event sinceDavey Allison won thePontiac Excitement 400 atRichmond International Raceway in 1993.[11]
Allison would run his next race atKentucky Speedway, where he would finish seventh on the lead lap after starting ninth. His last race of the year would be at the season finale atKansas Speedway, driving the No. 08Ford in a car that he owned, as his normal ride was occupied byCharles Evans Jr. for the event.[12] After starting 33rd and last due to qualifying being rained out, he would avoid many accidents to finish in ninth place, one lap down behind race winnerSpencer Gallagher. He has not run in ARCA, or any other major stock car series, since 2014.
