A.J. Allmendinger will make his 11th start at the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18, 2024, driving the No. 16 entry for Kaulig Racing.
Though the 42-year-old is committed to the NASCAR Xfinity Series full time next season, piloting the No. 16 Chevrolet for Kaulig, he will kick off the year with a Cup Series appearance at Daytona Int’l Speedway.
The team announced the news via social media on Wednesday.Â
Allmendinger’s best finish at the Daytona 500 is a pair of thirds (2009, ’17). Last year, the California native scored a sixth-place result in the 212-lap race.
He has yet to win a race at the famed 2.5-mile facility, in either the Xfinity or Cup Series.
