Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

This time around at Kansas Speedway, Allison will compete in the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion, a car that not only displays his name above the door, but he’s also listed as the car owner. Justin, along with his father, Kenny Allison have pieced together the car in their own shop in Salisbury, N.C. With decades of experience building cars and competing on the highest level, the Justin Allison Racing team will be stronger than ever as they enter the race weekend.

“I can’t wait to hit the track on Friday,” Allison said. “My team and I have worked tirelessly to get this car ready for the long trip out to the Midwest, and I’m just ready to see where we stack up. It’s a really humbling experience to have this opportunity, and I just can’t thank everyone enough for all of the hard work put into this effort.”

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

(Sparta, KY – September 21, 2014)   After starting 9th in the ZLOOP 150 at Kentucky Speedway, Justin Allison fought hard throughout the 100 laps to capture his 6th top-10 finish of the season in 7th place.

“We were a little aero tight when we were running with traffic, but overall the car felt great,” says Justin Allison. “We lost track position on our pit stop, but we definitely made a ton of gains throughout the race, making our way up to 4th at one point.”

After qualifying for the ZLOOP 150 in the 9th position, Allison maintained his position in the top-10 through the first half of the race. On lap 25, the caution flag flew; giving Team BCR the option to come into pit, but the team chose to stay out. Some of the cars on the lead lap chose to pit, giving Allison the chance to start 5th at the restart. Once the green flag flew again, Allison, in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion made his way up to 4th during a few laps.

When the second caution flag flew for debris on lap 45, where Allison was 7th at the time, the car was still a little tight. Crew Chief, Teddy Brown and the crew serviced the car for a wedge adjustment, air pressure adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco Fuel. When the pit crew went to change tires on the left side of the No. 88 HaVACo Ford, they had difficulties getting the car jacked up, which resulted in several lost positions.

Allison would be forced to restart 16th at the green flag on lap 52. During the last half of the race, Allison fought hard to gain back track position, finishing 7th.

“All in all, we were top-10 all day yesterday during practice and qualifying, but during the race I knew we would have easily been top-5,” says Allison. “Howard Bixman and the crew at Team BCR made sure I had one of the best cars out there as always and I can’t thank them for their commitment and hard work this week. I’d also like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Casite, Stanley Industries and Tornado Alley Car Wash for their continued support.”

Justin Allison Earns Career First ARCA Win with Team BCR

Justin Allison Earns Career First ARCA Win with Team BCR

(Long Pond, PA – August 2, 2014)  Strategy and talent came into play yesterday at Pocono Raceway when Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison earned his career first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards win.

“We made the right call by coming into pit when we did,” says Justin Allison, who is the first Allison to visit victory lane since 1993 when Davey Allison won at Richmond. “I’m at a loss for words. I know we had a good car, just a little bit tight, but we made the right calls. I can’t thank everyone enough, HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and Team BCR.”

Allison had a car to contend for a win with on Thursday’s “Tricky Triangle” practice session, when he posted the second fastest lap time of the day. He then qualified for the Modspace 125 in 5th.

Rainy weather just minutes before driver’s introductions pushed the start time of the Modspace 125 an hour back. With more dark clouds in the distance, all teams knew strategy was going to be key to winning the race if rain were to persist.

Allison, 22, was running 4th through the first two cautions of the race. On lap 18, Crew Chief Teddy Brown and Team Manager Howard Bixman, made the call to bring in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion seeing that the weather was clearing up and they would more than likely see all 50 laps that night. Team BCR’s crew just topped the No. 88 off with fuel and sent Allison back out to restart 17th.

This was no problem for Allison, who made his way into the top-10 on lap 25. On lap 36, he ran into lap traffic and Will Kimmel in the No. 69 car, which was the only other car that had already taken a pit stop in front of him. Justin took the low line and squeezed by all four cars to take away the 4th position. At this point, all three leaders in front of Allison still needed to pit. Once this happened, Allison would take the lead for the remaining 11 laps and earn his first ARCA Racing Series win in his career.

“Will (Kimmel) was trying to make ground on us at the end, but we had them in turn 3,” says Allison. “I don’t know what it is about this track, but I love driving here. Yes, it’s a 2.5-mile track, but you have to drive it like a short track and take each corner at a time.”

Team Manager, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job in the spring race and for him to win this is not only big for him, but the entire Allison family. This really shows how strong Team BCR is. This is our fifth win of the season and this time in the No. 88 car. The guys have been working hard at the shop and at the track. I can’t thank everyone enough for their help this weekend. It’s rare to see a driver pick up on this track as quickly as Justin has. He has a very bright future ahead.”

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

(Indianapolis, IN – July 28, 2014) Electrical issues ended Justin Allison’s night early at Lucas Oil Raceway in the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

“I couldn’t quite get comfortable with the track until the end of the second practice session,” says Allison. “The car felt great during practice, it just took me some time to learn the track and get use to it. We finally had a great run during qualifying and I was looking forward to a strong finish during the race.”

Allison posted the 5th fastest lap time during Menard’s Pole Qualifying. As the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200 progressed, Allison kept inside the top-10. When the first caution came out, Crew Chief Teddy Brown made the call for a track bar adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and to cap the No. 88 HaVACo Ford with Sunoco fuel, sending Allison out to 6th for the restart.

Allison maintained his position up until the second caution of the race. A few of the cars on the lead lap took tires while Allison stayed out to keep track position.

The third caution flew on lap 160 of 200 and the leader was involved in a crash. Brown once again brought the No. 88 Ford Fusion down pit road so the crew could service the car with four tires and make a track bar adjustment.

Allison lined up for the remaining laps. Once the green flag flew, the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford made contact with the wall entering turn 1. With right side damage, the rookie would maintain the ninth position up until lap 197 when the No. 88 Ford starting backing down. Team BCR thought the car was out of fuel until realizing there were electrical issues. Allison finished the race in 13th, ending his top-10 streak.

“We were tight off and on throughout the race,” says Allison. “The car was strong all day and I was able to learn a lot from this track. Howard (Bixman) gave me advice all day, which helped me gain my confidence and improve our performance. I want to thank Team BCR for giving me a good car and we appreciate the support from our partners, Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products. I’m really excited to get back to Pocono, since we ran really well there in June.”

Another Debut for Rookie Driver Justin Allison

Pre-Race Report
Another Debut for Rookie Driver Justin Allison

(Mooresville, NC – July 23, 2014) Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison is still searching for that first win in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. Next on schedule, he will take his first look at Lucas Oil Raceway as he makes his debut on Friday, July 25 for the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

Season Recap: Justin Allison earned four consecutive top-10 finishes in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Toledo Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan Int’l Speedway and most recently at Chicagoland Speedway. His highest finishing race was at Michigan International Speedway when he earned an ARCA career best of 3rd.

Family History at Lucas Oil Raceway: In his racing career, Justin’s cousin Davey Allison won an ARCA Racing Series race at Lucas Oil Raceway back in 1985. Davey has an extensive NASCAR record, holding 19 NASCAR Winston Cup Series victories.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

With that said, I’ve never been to Lucas Oil Raceway, but I have a ton of short track experience. I expect us to be pretty good.

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

(Joliet, IL – July 21, 2014)  In his Chicagoland Speedway ARCA Racing Series debut, Justin Allison earns his fourth consecutive top-10 finish in last weekend’s race.

“We struggled a bit during the weekend but we definitely bounced back and made the changes we needed to finish strong,” says 21-year-old Allison.

Justin Allison started the race from the 8th position and was running in 7th when the car was just too loose to handle for the rookie driver. Allison spun on the backstretch, causing the first caution of the race. No contact was made and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion would come in for a change of four Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and track bar adjustments.
IMG_2649
Allison restarted 18th at the green flag, making up two spots in three laps. As the next caution came out on lap 21, Allison mentioned the car was still too loose to handle so Team BCR brought the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in for a track bar adjustment and fuel, sending Allison back out to 19th for the restart.

The changes to the Ford seemed to help, since Allison made up nine spots by lap 48, taking away the 10th position. A caution mid-way through the race gave the team another opportunity to pit considering the car was still too loose for Allison to finish strong. The team made a wedge and track bar adjustment, changed all four Hoosier tires and capped the No. 88 off with Sunoco fuel, sending him back out to 10th.

After making his way into the top-5 in the remainder of the race, Allison slipped back in the closing laps to hold on to the 8th position and earn another top-10 finish in his Chicagoland Speedway debut.

“We were loose all weekend, but we finally got the car right where we needed it during that last caution,” says Allison. “During the last few laps of the race, though, the car started to get really tight. The weekend could have gone better, but overall we did well and learned a lot this weekend. I have to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and everyone at Team BCR for their commitment this weekend.”

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

(Mooresville, NC – July 14, 2014) Following a career best finish of 3rd at Michigan Int’l Speedway, Justin Allison is set to make his Chicagoland Speedway debut for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 on July 19th.

“I’m really excited to get back in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford,” says 22-year-old Justin Allison. “We had a great run at Michigan so I know we’ll have a strong outing come Chicago. I’m hoping to not only keep the top-5 streak going, but finally get that first win out of the way.”

Allison’s 2014 part-time schedule includes all of the FOX Sports 1 televised races. He captured a top-10 finish at Toledo Speedway and then moved on to Pocono Raceway to earn a top-5 finish. He not only had a strong outing during the Pocono race, but also topped the leader boards during testing and qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd at the “Tricky Triangle.” Allison kept the streak of career best finishes going when he earned a 3rd place finish at Michigan Int’l Speedway in his most recent start.

Allison commented, “I can’t thank Howard Bixman and Team BCR enough for giving me this opportunity to develop my skills in moving forward with my racing career this season. This team hxlargeas given me some really fast cars this year, which has given me some great finishes. Based on our recent races, I feel really confident going into Chicago. Without the support of my family and our marketing partners this season, this life long dream wouldn’t be a reality.”

Piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite, Allison will be making his 6th debut of the season.

Team Manager, Howard Bixman mentioned, “I’m very impressed with how well Justin is adapting in the ARCA Racing Series. Justin is one of the top up and coming young drivers in this series. He’s had strong finishes in the last three races he has competed in for Team BCR. It won’t be long before he’s in a position to score his first win. Chicago is a very fast and demanding track for drivers, but Justin’s strong drive to be competitive and his raw talent will shine this weekend.”

The Ansell Activ Armr 150 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 2 on Saturday, July 19 at 5pm CT. ARCAracing.com will provide live timing and scoring of practice on Friday, July 18 from 3:30-5:20pm CT. Menard’s Pole Qualifying will take place on Saturday, July 19 at 1:30pm CT.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

(Brooklyn, MI – June 15, 2014)  Rookie driver, Justin Allison earns his career best finish of 3rd in his Michigan debut on Friday. The finish marks his third career best finish this year after finishing 7th at Toledo and then 5th at Pocono.

“Once I got comfortable with the car in the first few laps of the race, the car was fast and I knew at that point we were going to have a car to beat,” says Allison.
IMG_2089
Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in 12th for the Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan Int’l Speedway.

Allison mentioned, “We were a little free in qualifying and I was a little conservative. I wasn’t sure what to expect during the race, but after five or 10 laps, the car handled really well.”

After starting 12th, the No. 88 Ford powered by RoushYates Engines, made its way up to the 4th position on lap 16. Allison posted faster lap times than the race leader, but lost too much track position to compete for the lead. Not until the leaders came onto pit road under green flag conditions, Allison would lead the race for three laps.

Team BCR called in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford under green flag conditions for a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, sending Allison back out to the 4th position.

The caution flag flew for the second time of the race on lap 75. Team BCR decided to keep the No. 88 out, but Allison would have to conserve as much fuel as possible. Once the green flag flew for the restart, Allison had one eye on the fuel pressure gauge and the other on the leader, leaving him to finish the race in the 3rd position.

“I have to thank Team BCR and Howard Bixman for giving me another great car,” says Allison. “We have led laps and have been very competitive the last three races. Now it’s time to lead the last lap for our first win. I also have to thank HaVACo along with Rush Racing Products for giving me the opportunity to carry on the family legacy.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison plan to enter in the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 19.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

(Long Pond, PA – June 8, 2014)  What seemed like an exciting career best finish was disappointing for the rookie who had some of the fastest lap times throughout the weekend. Justin Allison, who had never even seen Pocono Raceway in person, made his debut on Saturday, where he earned a 5th place finish with Team BCR.

Driving the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion, Allison posted the fastest lap time in Wednesday’s afternoon testing session.
IMG_1908
“It was just a matter of me getting comfortable with the car,” says Allison. “Our car was good the first day of testing, even on old tires. All I needed after that was just to get comfortable with the track and the car. The track is so much different from any other track because it’s so difficult to stay in the same rhythm every lap.”

Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd and found his way right behind the #22 car up until lap 27, when he finally made his way around and up into the 2nd position. The No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines was posting faster lap times than the leader but lost the track position to compete for the lead early in the race.

Team BCR brought Allison in twice during the Pocono ARCA 200, with the first stop being a fuel-only stop and the second for a change of Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and adjustments. When Allison tried to exit the second stop, he found himself caught in the fourth gear. This made the restarts incredibly difficult and Allison would slowly back drop to 10th but managed to gain track position in the last ten laps to earn a career best top-5 finish.

Allison said, “I’m a little disappointed considering we should have won this in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford. Howard Bixman and Team BCR put together one of the best cars in the field, but we just had a gear issue. I learned a lot at Pocono and even got to lead a few laps of the race. I’m looking forward to coming back in August in order to compete for a win. I can’t thank HaVACoSales.com for their support this year.”

Howard Bixman, Team Manager and Crew Chief said, “Justin impressed me with how fast he adopted to this difficult track. He is one of the most talented young drivers in this series.  If we wouldn’t have had the problem at the end, I think we could have definitely had a win from him. All in all, we had a great weekend topping the leader board during testing, a strong 3rd place qualifying effort and the highest finishing rookie of the race. I’m sure Justin will take this confidence and momentum into next weekend’s Michigan race.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

Pre-Race Report
Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

(Mooresville, NC – June 3, 2014)  Justin Allison is set to make his Pocono Raceway debut this weekend piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. In preparation for his debut, he’ll be testing at the Tricky Triangle on Wednesday, June 4.

Season Recap: Allison will make his fourth start of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Pocono Raceway. His first two starts being at Daytona and Talladega. Allison then earned his career best finish at Toledo Speedway two weeks ago, finishing in 7th.
xlarge
Family History at the Tricky Triangle: Justin’s Great Uncle, Bobby Allison holds the most consecutive Pocono wins in NASCAR to this day. He won both Pocono races in 1982, then the spring race in 1983.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Meet Justin: Justin will be signing autographs on Saturday morning with other ARCA Racing Series drivers from 9:45-10:15am in the autograph area outside the track. He’ll also be signing at the Realtree Trailer throughout the weekend. Go to Justin’s Fan Facebook Page for updates throughout the weekend!

Team Manager / Crew Chief, Howard Bixman: “I’m impressed with how well Justin has adjusted to these cars, he did a great job at Toledo two weeks ago. He gave us great feedback all weekend and finished in the top-10 for his first ARCA short track race. We will be testing on Wednesday before the race and there’s a lot for Justin to learn at this difficult track. We’ve been working hard in the shop to get the No. 88 Ford ready and I’m expecting to have a strong outing.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

How are you preparing for the Tricky Triangle considering you’ve never been there and there’s so many different corners to learn?

“There really is no way to prepare myself for this type of track other than figuring it out myself. I’ve heard how fun and exciting it can be, but I also know there’s a lot to learn to be competitive. I don’t do any sort of simulator racing or watch videos like some drivers may. I think it’s best to just feel the track out myself. Howard and the team will give me a great car and the open test day will give me extra laps throughout the week.”

Being that your family has an extensive history at Pocono, with Bobby winning three races but also ending his career at the track, do you feel this factors into how you will perform?

“I don’t think the Allison history will have any factor into how we’ll perform at Pocono. Every track you to go to, there’s a risk you’re taking. It’s always helpful to know someone else who has the experience at the particular track, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to perform just like that. We’re in totally different equipment and with a winning team.”

Tune into the Race: The Pocono ARCA 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday, June 7 at 1pm ET. Practice for the race will take place on Friday, June 7 from 10-11:50am. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin on Friday at 2:30pm ET.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

(Toledo, OH – May 19, 2014)  Justin Allison in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion earned his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards top-10 finish in the Menards 200 yesterday at Toledo Speedway.

Allison began the race in the 10th position, gaining two positions by lap 51, where the caution flag flew. A majority of the field came in to pit, but Crew Chief Howard Bixman decided it was too early in the race to come in. Justin became the race leader and continued to run in the top-10.
IMG_0148
Once the second caution flag flew, Bixman called the No. 88 Ford in for a change of four tires, cap off the fuel and some minor adjustments. Allison would stay in the top-10 until coming in for a final pit stop on lap 130, sending him back out to 13th. In those last laps, Allison made up the positions, to earn a 7th place finish.

“Overall, this was a great day for the No. 88 HaVACo Ford and Team BCR,” says Allison. “Howard made a great call on pit strategy to give us tires when nobody had any left towards the end of the race. I learned a few things towards the end of the race that I wish I would have picked up earlier on. I have to thank Howard for all the effort that is put into this program and the crew for putting together a great car.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman commented on Justin’s performance, “Wow, I’m really impressed with Justin today. He did a great job all day and showed he has the talent to be a contender. We had a goal to qualify and finish in the top-10, and we accomplished that. I think Justin learned a lot from the race today, and it will help as he progresses throughout the season.”

Allison’s next race on schedule is the Pocono ARCA 200 on June 7. The race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 1pm ET.

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

(Mooresville, NC – May 13, 2014) Having only speedway ARCA experience from Kansas, Daytona and Talladega, Justin Allison will make his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards short track debut at Toledo Speedway this weekend. Allison will pilot the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Team BCR Racing.

Although this is Justin’s first ARCA short track race, running on short tracks is certainly nothing new. Allison started his racing career in the Allison Legacy Series in 2006, where the series’ schedule consists of mainly short tracks. From 2007-2010, he won five races in the series. He then continued to dominate as he won the Allison Legacy Series Championship in 2011, winning 7 races and finishing top-5, 20 times in 21 races. From 2012-2013, Allison ran select PASS Super Late Model races.
10298920_646544588759276_236730290708957191_n
“All of my racing experience comes from short track racing,” says Allison. “I’m looking forward to going to Toledo. We have a winning short track program at Team BCR, and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford should be strong.”

Allison tested the No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines at South Boston Speedway yesterday in preparation for the Menards 200.

Allison added, “Testing at South Boston Speedway gave me the extra confidence I needed. Short tracks are definitely more in my comfort zone. Howard Bixman and the crew gave me a great car, and I learned a great deal throughout the day. I know there’s room for improvement and a tremendous amount I need to learn moving forward. I’m really excited to see what the weekend holds for our #88 team.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did an outstanding job at the test yesterday. Once we had our base line, he turned competitive laps and I can tell he feels very comfortable at a short track. We worked on all kinds of scenarios at the test from short runs, long runs and restarts. His feedback was excellent and he’s going to have one competitive car at Toledo.”

The HaVACo Souvenir Trailer will be at Toledo Speedway with all of Justin Allison’s “Continuing the Legacy” apparel including hats, shirts and more. Stop by if you’re at the track!

The Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18.  Two practice sessions will take place on Saturday, from 11:45am-12:30pm and 1-1:45pm. Menards Pole Qualifying is set to start on Saturday at 3:30pm.

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

(Mooresville, NC – May 7, 2014)  As the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison (members of the original Alabama Gang), Justin Allison hopes to carry on the family legacy as he advances in his racing career. Allison will attempt to make this dream become a reality with the help from Team BCR teammate, Grant Enfinger, an Alabama native. Together, they could become the new “Alabama Gang.”
10268409_692678637460079_5007116616195435945_n
Allison has made only two starts in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion. With only speedway experience under his belt from Kansas in 2013, and Daytona and Talladega in 2014, the ARCA rookie will make his ARCA short track debut at Toledo Speedway.

“This is where the ‘real racing’ will happen,” says Allison. “Racing at these speedways, such as Daytona and Talladega, has a tremendous amount of variables.  At the short tracks, you not only have to bring a fast car, but have the talent as a driver. Howard Bixman and Team BCR has a proven winning short track program. I think we’ll be a threat to our competition in Toledo since short track racing is what I grew up on and have the most experience with.”

Allison’s teammate at Team BCR, Grant Enfinger in the No. 90 Motor Honey/Casite – Triple K Construction Ford, started off the year in victory lane. Not just once, or twice, but three times! And then remained to dominate as he earned his second-career pole award at Talladega Superspeedway.
-74a3d490cda5aa24
Enfinger raced Schrader door to door in last season’s Toledo race, until cutting a tire down, with just a few laps left of the race. Fairhope, AL’s driver will make his fifth start of the season as the current points leader for the 2014 ARCA Racing Series Championship with Team BCR.

Enfinger said, “Toledo’s a really good track to race at. We were very competitive last year and we’re bringing that same car back with us. We’ve made improvements, and I think we’re going to be even better than we were.”

The Menards 200 presented by Federated Auto Parts at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18, 2014.

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

(Lincoln, AL – May 5, 2014)  Alabama’s Justin Allison made his ARCA Talladega debut on Saturday, where luck was not on his side. The rookie driver blew two tires throughout the race, leaving him to finish in 19th.

Justin Allison, who is the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison, was honored to attend the Alabama Gang Superstretch unveiling on Wednesday, April 30. The track named the backstretch in honor of Donnie Allison, Bobby Allison, Davey Allison and Red Farmer (the original Alabama Gang). Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger (who is also from Alabama), attended the event as special guests and the new generation of Alabama racers.

“I grew up hearing all the stories about the Alabama Gang,” says Justin Allison. “Growing up, I never thought of them as big racers. I just saw them as family, but they’re still my heroes. As I get older, I’m realizing this is a really big deal.”

After the unveiling, it was finally time for Allison to make his Talladega debut and to continue his family’s legacy. Allison started 25th for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines. He was gaining positions in the first half of the race until a tire cut down, sending him into Clay Campbell in the #52 car.

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman called Allison in to fix the damages and sent him back out. Allison could feel a vibration in the car as he made his first lap around, realizing the fender was rubbing against the tire, which cut down another tire. Bixman brought the No. 88 Ford down pit road several more times for repairs. The crew did major repairs to the right side of the HaVACo Ford, while keeping Justin from losing any more positions. Allison fought hard to the end where he finished 19th.

“It’s disappointing our day ended like this,” says Justin Allison. “We had faster lap times than the leaders for a majority of the race, but we couldn’t make up the spots lost. With the green flag pit stops, the field was too spread out. I have to thank my Crew Chief, Howard Bixman and my crew for doing a good job on pit road and building a fast car. I also have to thank my Grandpa, Donnie, for pushing me through the entire race to the end. This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without the support of Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products.”

The next race on Allison’s schedule is Toledo Speedway on May 18 where the race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET.

Allison said, “Now it’s time to go ‘real’ racing at Toledo Speedway. I love short track racing and that’s where my strong suit is. Team BCR has a strong short track program, and we should be a threat there in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford. ”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job at Talladega this week dealing with a lot of damages. I’m proud of him for keeping focused and finishing strong after all the unfortunate events. Justin has that Allison blood in him and you can tell he is a very talented driver. He provided great feedback and his knowledge of the car is remarkable. Donnie has been his mentor throughout his racing career, and it shows.”

Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison and nephew of Bobby Allison, who were the original members of the Alabama Gang. Donnie has won two races at the 2.5-mile track while Bobby has won four.
Daytona
“There’s a lot of family history at this track and a lot to live up to,” says Justin Allison. “It’s always been a dream of mine to race at Talladega Superspeedway. Not only do we have a lot of fans in Alabama, but we have a lot of family and friends there to support all of us for many decades.”

The ARCA Racing Series has made changes to the qualifying procedures for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200. Instead of doing a single car, two-lap qualifying run, the drivers will be placed into groups based on practice times.

“We’re really hoping my teammate, Grant Enfinger, and I will be able to help each other during qualifying and then the race,” says Allison. “We wanted to work together at Daytona, but since our chances ended early, we weren’t able to do so. It’s very beneficial to have a strong teammate at a superspeedway.”

Allison also tested the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines at Talladega two weeks ago, where he posted top-5 lap times on the second day of testing.

Allison said, “Howard Bixman [Crew Chief] and the rest of the guys at Team BCR have put together a great car for me so I feel confident going into this. Team BCR is the 2014 Daytona Champion, and our goal is nothing short of winning this. I’d like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Carwash and Randy Jones Nationwide Insurance for the support and faith in me to do this.”
Donnie/Justin
Crew Chief, Howard Bixman is confident in Justin’s capabilities at Talladega, “The test went very well with Justin. He’s never competed at Talladega and he did a great job. Donnie Allison spotted for Justin during the test, giving him great advice. Justin is a natural and a very talented driver. With his teammate Grant Enfinger, from Alabama as well, we may have the ‘New Alabama Gang.’ I’m really excited for him and his family to continue this legacy.”

Justin will make various appearances throughout the week. One of the events he will attend is on Friday, May 2 at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for the Race Fever event. The annual event benefits the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger, will do an on-stage interview at 5pm and then sign autographs for the children of the institute as well as other attendees of the event. Come by if you’re in the area!

Justin will also be at Talladega Superspeedway in the Sprint Fan Zone prior to the Sprint Cup Race. He will be at the Realtree trailer both Saturday and Sunday, times posted at the trailer. On Sunday, he will be in the grandstands signing autographs from 9-11am.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 11am ET on Saturday, May 3. Practice takes place on Friday, May 2 from 9-11am CT. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin at 3:30pm CT. Stay connected during practice and qualifying by going to www.arcaracing.com or by liking Team BCR or Justin’s Facebook Page.

I would like to thank Havacosales.com, Rush Racing Products and all our partners that have supported us.”

Tough Luck for Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing at Daytona

(Daytona Beach, FL – February 17, 2014)  Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing had a strong car, qualifying 12th for the Lucas Oil 200, but due to a 15-car wreck early in the race, their day ended early.

Allison tested at Daytona back in December with over 70 drivers and posted the 3rdfastest lap time throughout the entire weekend. Set to make his Daytona debut, the rookie driver drove the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford up into the 9th position respectively by lap 12 of the race.

Just 13 laps in, the race spiraled out of control when the No. 99 and No. 9 cars triggered a multiple car wreck. Allison quickly turned the wheel in order to avoid the wreck and would have been clear until the No. 66 hit the nose of Allison’s No. 88Havacosales.com Ford Fusion.

“It’s a shame our day had to end like this,” says 21-year-old driver, Justin Allison. “The Team BCR crew and I have been putting a lot of effort into making this car capable of a win. Howard gave me a great car that had the ability to finish well here but I guess it wasn’t in our cards today. I’m thankful I was given the chance to come here and make my Daytona debut with the support from HaVACo and Team BCR.”

Allison also mentioned, “I’d like to congratulate my teammate, Grant Enfinger, on winning the race. The team along with Grant and I work on our cars together at the shop so it’s rewarding to see our hard work paid off.”

Allison and Team BCR hope to bring the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion to Mobile International Speedway on March 22.

Team Manager and Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “It’s too bad this happened for Justin and the team. A lot of dedication and effort went into Justin’s car. He ran in the top ten and proved throughout speed weeks, he has the ability to be a winner in this series. I‘d like to thank HaVACo for their support. Now it’s just time to focus on the next race on our schedule, so we can have a strong finish Justin is more than capable of.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

What were your thoughts going out on the track the very first time at Daytona?

“I was terrified leaving the pits and I did not know what to expect. Of course, I’ve been given plenty of advice from my grandfather [Donnie Allison] along with my teammate Grant Enfinger but you don’t fully know what to expect until you’re out there doing it yourself. Once I got going, though, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. My Crew Chief Howard Bixman gave me a great car as the speed charts showed.”

What sort of advice has your grandfather given you and what will you take from that going into the race?

“My grandfather gave me advice in drafting and in single car runs. At this point in my career, all the advice I can get is very helpful. I have a great teammate, Grant Enfinger and a veteran Crew Chief, Howard Bixman to rely on as well.”

11th place Finish for Justin Allison’s First ARCA Start

(Kansas City, KS – Oct. 7, 2013) Justin Allison came home with a solid 11th place finish in his first-ever ARCA Racing Series event, the rain-shortened Kansas Lottery 98.9 which was run on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Kansas Speedway.Originally scheduled for 99 laps, ARCA and track officials shortened the race by 34 laps for safety reasons due to the rain and threatening weather in the area.

Allison qualified 11th in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines, and once the green flag flew, he was able to maneuver through the field and make his way as high as 6th at one point.

Several cautions slowed the race allowing Crew Chief Howard Bixman plenty of chances to boost Allison’s confidence as much as possible. At one point, Bixman told him over the radio, “You’re doing a great job out there. Many drivers are out there to gain Championship points so they’re driving aggressively. Just stay smart and stick to our game plan, and you’ll be in great shape.”Bixman made the call to bring in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion during a caution on lap 35 for four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, but made no adjustments. While Allison was making his way down pit road, Bixman then decided to bring him back down pit road again for fuel only before the green flag flew, and this gave the No. 88 enough gas to make it to end.

With a possible tornado in the area, ARCA officials felt it was best to clear the grandstands, so they announced on lap 55 that the race would end in 10 laps. At that time, Allison was in 16th and had to make up as much as ground as possible in the short time available, and he was able to climb to 11th.“We had a top 5 car here for sure,” Allison said. “I hate to see the race end so early when we were the first car with fresh tires and enough fuel to make it to the checkered flag. This was a great start to my ARCA racing career, and I look forward to working with Team BCR and Howard in the future. I’d like to thank the HaVACo group for coming out to watch the race, and I would like to thank the rest of my marketing partners for being a part of my debut; Rush Racing Products, Rick and Bubba Sausage produced by Polk’s Meat and Husky Liners. I greatly appreciate it.”

Bixman was equally thrilled with the results.

“Justin has some amazing driving talents, and I can already tell the family legacy will continue to live on,” Bixman said. “Justin has given me a lot to look forward to, and I can’t wait to work with him even more in the future. If the race wasn’t shortened, I have no doubts Justin would have came home with a top 5 finish and possibly have been a contender for a win. He has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Justin Allison is grandson of NASCAR legend Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison. Donnie attended the race to support his grandson and could not be more proud of Justin’s first performance on a major racing circuit.

“I think Justin did a tremendous job being that it was his first race ever in this type of car on this big of a racetrack,” Donnie Allison said. “I think he showed everybody his abilities as a race car driver.”

Team BCR Racing and Development Team, located in Mooresville, N.C, has positioned itself to become a first-rate driver development team that seeks out talented drivers and provides them with a quality equipment with the goal of grooming them for successful entry into NASCAR various racing series.

2012 News

June 30, 2012 –  Southern National – After qualifying 7th and running in the top five most of the night, Justin was involved in a wreck on lap 87 of the 125 lapper that took him out of the race with front end damage.
June 29, 2012 8:15pm – While Justin turned some really fast laps in practice today, the temperature soared to 107 degrees and much higher than that on the track. Temperatures for tomorrow are forcasted to be even hotter.
June 29, 2012- Justin is at Southern National Raceway Park practicing today for the 125 lap Super Late Model race tomorrow, Saturday June 30th. The track is a 4/10 mile located in Kenly, NC.  He was at the dyno yesterday and things went well so he is hoping for a good qualifying run and finish.  There has been a good field of cars at Kenly since the track reopened earlier this year and Justin will have some fierce competition.  Tomorrow the pit gate opens at 11:00am with practice at 2:00pm and qualifying at 5:00pm.  The green flag drops at 7:00pm.  Good Luck Justin!
May 26, 2012-Concord Motor Speedway CV Products 125- Justin started 20th and made his way up to the 10th spot by lap 10 of the race.  He avoided a major wreck and then was coming up on 6th place when he tapped the wall while running outside of Jay Fogleman.  He ran several more laps but the car had some minor damage that affected the handling so he had to park the car and finished in 19th place.
May 11, 2012-Wake County Speedway- Justin ran fast times in practice, qualified 13th and finished in the 10th spot in the 125 lapper…bringing the car home in one piece in the P.A.S.S. Super Late Model race at the 1/4 bullring track near Raleigh, NC.
4/21/2012 … “Orange County Speedway” … Justin Allison finally got to run his Ford Fusion “Grillin’ Sauce” #1 car at the “Pass 150” lap race at Orange County Speedway on Saturday night.  Just like the other races we have attempted, he ran really good in practice but our crate motor just won’t make the speed to qualify.  Justin started 22 out of the 26 cars there and it didn’t take but about fifteen laps for him to get in the top 15. He was patient all night as he worked his way into the top 10.  Justin did an excellent job of managing his tires, as the race was 150 green flag laps, and Justin was sitting in 9th place on the last restart with 30 laps to go.  With some awsome racing, as the laps were winding down, Justin moved into 7th place. He had his sights set on moving up, until interference with a lap car cost him too much ground on the track to make up in the short number of laps remaining, so Justin had to settle for a 7th place finish. 

The race “felt like a victory for him and the effort of his whole team”.  It was a great confidence booster for Justin after running so good in practice at the other events, but not being able to qaulify. The next race will be at Wake County Speedway on May 11th for the Pass 125 lapper.  As it looks right now, we may have our new engine for that event from Doug Yates and all the great guys at RoushYates Engines. We really look forward to competing in the remainder of the “Pass South” Super Late Model races, but right now we are taking them one at a time depending on sponsorship.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

Justin Allison Eager To Debut Team In ARCA 98.9 At Kansas Speedway

(SALISBURY, N.C. – October 1, 2014) – Coming off a seventh place finish at Kentucky Speedway two weekends ago, Justin Allison is eager to get back behind the wheel for the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway while debuting his own team, Justin Allison Racing on Friday, Oct. 3.

Justin Allison made his series debut at Kansas Speedway last year, finishing just outside the top-10 in the 11th place. One year later, Allison has compiled one win (Pocono Raceway in August), three top-five and six top-10 finishes in only nine starts this season in the ARCA Racing Series.

“I’m excited about going back to Kansas,” Allison said. “It’s a place I’ve already been, and I like the track. I’m also excited about running my own stuff and starting my own team. I’d like to thank the Prischak family-HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible for me to run my car at Kansas and race in ARCA for the 2014 season”.

This time around at Kansas Speedway, Allison will compete in the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion, a car that not only displays his name above the door, but he’s also listed as the car owner. Justin, along with his father, Kenny Allison have pieced together the car in their own shop in Salisbury, N.C. With decades of experience building cars and competing on the highest level, the Justin Allison Racing team will be stronger than ever as they enter the race weekend.

“I can’t wait to hit the track on Friday,” Allison said. “My team and I have worked tirelessly to get this car ready for the long trip out to the Midwest, and I’m just ready to see where we stack up. It’s a really humbling experience to have this opportunity, and I just can’t thank everyone enough for all of the hard work put into this effort.”

On Friday, the one and only practice session kicks off at 9 a.m. CDT, followed by Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell at 1:35 p.m. CDT. The ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway will be live on Fox Sports 2 at 8:30 p.m. EST

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

(Sparta, KY – September 21, 2014)   After starting 9th in the ZLOOP 150 at Kentucky Speedway, Justin Allison fought hard throughout the 100 laps to capture his 6th top-10 finish of the season in 7th place.

“We were a little aero tight when we were running with traffic, but overall the car felt great,” says Justin Allison. “We lost track position on our pit stop, but we definitely made a ton of gains throughout the race, making our way up to 4th at one point.”

After qualifying for the ZLOOP 150 in the 9th position, Allison maintained his position in the top-10 through the first half of the race. On lap 25, the caution flag flew; giving Team BCR the option to come into pit, but the team chose to stay out. Some of the cars on the lead lap chose to pit, giving Allison the chance to start 5th at the restart. Once the green flag flew again, Allison, in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion made his way up to 4th during a few laps.

When the second caution flag flew for debris on lap 45, where Allison was 7th at the time, the car was still a little tight. Crew Chief, Teddy Brown and the crew serviced the car for a wedge adjustment, air pressure adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco Fuel. When the pit crew went to change tires on the left side of the No. 88 HaVACo Ford, they had difficulties getting the car jacked up, which resulted in several lost positions.

Allison would be forced to restart 16th at the green flag on lap 52. During the last half of the race, Allison fought hard to gain back track position, finishing 7th.

“All in all, we were top-10 all day yesterday during practice and qualifying, but during the race I knew we would have easily been top-5,” says Allison. “Howard Bixman and the crew at Team BCR made sure I had one of the best cars out there as always and I can’t thank them for their commitment and hard work this week. I’d also like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Casite, Stanley Industries and Tornado Alley Car Wash for their continued support.”

(Long Pond, PA – August 2, 2014)  Strategy and talent came into play yesterday at Pocono Raceway when Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison earned his career first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards win.

“We made the right call by coming into pit when we did,” says Justin Allison, who is the first Allison to visit victory lane since 1993 when Davey Allison won at Richmond. “I’m at a loss for words. I know we had a good car, just a little bit tight, but we made the right calls. I can’t thank everyone enough, HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and Team BCR.”

Allison had a car to contend for a win with on Thursday’s “Tricky Triangle” practice session, when he posted the second fastest lap time of the day. He then qualified for the Modspace 125 in 5th.

Rainy weather just minutes before driver’s introductions pushed the start time of the Modspace 125 an hour back. With more dark clouds in the distance, all teams knew strategy was going to be key to winning the race if rain were to persist.

Allison, 22, was running 4th through the first two cautions of the race. On lap 18, Crew Chief Teddy Brown and Team Manager Howard Bixman, made the call to bring in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion seeing that the weather was clearing up and they would more than likely see all 50 laps that night. Team BCR’s crew just topped the No. 88 off with fuel and sent Allison back out to restart 17th.

This was no problem for Allison, who made his way into the top-10 on lap 25. On lap 36, he ran into lap traffic and Will Kimmel in the No. 69 car, which was the only other car that had already taken a pit stop in front of him. Justin took the low line and squeezed by all four cars to take away the 4th position. At this point, all three leaders in front of Allison still needed to pit. Once this happened, Allison would take the lead for the remaining 11 laps and earn his first ARCA Racing Series win in his career.

“Will (Kimmel) was trying to make ground on us at the end, but we had them in turn 3,” says Allison. “I don’t know what it is about this track, but I love driving here. Yes, it’s a 2.5-mile track, but you have to drive it like a short track and take each corner at a time.”

Team Manager, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job in the spring race and for him to win this is not only big for him, but the entire Allison family. This really shows how strong Team BCR is. This is our fifth win of the season and this time in the No. 88 car. The guys have been working hard at the shop and at the track. I can’t thank everyone enough for their help this weekend. It’s rare to see a driver pick up on this track as quickly as Justin has. He has a very bright future ahead.”

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

(Indianapolis, IN – July 28, 2014) Electrical issues ended Justin Allison’s night early at Lucas Oil Raceway in the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

“I couldn’t quite get comfortable with the track until the end of the second practice session,” says Allison. “The car felt great during practice, it just took me some time to learn the track and get use to it. We finally had a great run during qualifying and I was looking forward to a strong finish during the race.”

Allison posted the 5th fastest lap time during Menard’s Pole Qualifying. As the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200 progressed, Allison kept inside the top-10. When the first caution came out, Crew Chief Teddy Brown made the call for a track bar adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and to cap the No. 88 HaVACo Ford with Sunoco fuel, sending Allison out to 6th for the restart.

Allison maintained his position up until the second caution of the race. A few of the cars on the lead lap took tires while Allison stayed out to keep track position.

The third caution flew on lap 160 of 200 and the leader was involved in a crash. Brown once again brought the No. 88 Ford Fusion down pit road so the crew could service the car with four tires and make a track bar adjustment.

Allison lined up for the remaining laps. Once the green flag flew, the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford made contact with the wall entering turn 1. With right side damage, the rookie would maintain the ninth position up until lap 197 when the No. 88 Ford starting backing down. Team BCR thought the car was out of fuel until realizing there were electrical issues. Allison finished the race in 13th, ending his top-10 streak.

“We were tight off and on throughout the race,” says Allison. “The car was strong all day and I was able to learn a lot from this track. Howard (Bixman) gave me advice all day, which helped me gain my confidence and improve our performance. I want to thank Team BCR for giving me a good car and we appreciate the support from our partners, Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products. I’m really excited to get back to Pocono, since we ran really well there in June.”

Next on schedule, he will take his first look at Lucas Oil Raceway as he makes his debut on Friday, July 25 for the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

Season Recap: Justin Allison earned four consecutive top-10 finishes in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Toledo Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan Int’l Speedway and most recently at Chicagoland Speedway.

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

(Joliet, IL – July 21, 2014)  In his Chicagoland Speedway ARCA Racing Series debut, Justin Allison earns his fourth consecutive top-10 finish in last weekend’s race.

“We struggled a bit during the weekend but we definitely bounced back and made the changes we needed to finish strong,” says 21-year-old Allison.

Justin Allison started the race from the 8th position and was running in 7th when the car was just too loose to handle for the rookie driver. Allison spun on the backstretch, causing the first caution of the race. No contact was made and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion would come in for a change of four Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and track bar adjustments.
IMG_2649
Allison restarted 18th at the green flag, making up two spots in three laps. As the next caution came out on lap 21, Allison mentioned the car was still too loose to handle so Team BCR brought the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in for a track bar adjustment and fuel, sending Allison back out to 19th for the restart.

The changes to the Ford seemed to help, since Allison made up nine spots by lap 48, taking away the 10th position. A caution mid-way through the race gave the team another opportunity to pit considering the car was still too loose for Allison to finish strong. The team made a wedge and track bar adjustment, changed all four Hoosier tires and capped the No. 88 off with Sunoco fuel, sending him back out to 10th.

After making his way into the top-5 in the remainder of the race, Allison slipped back in the closing laps to hold on to the 8th position and earn another top-10 finish in his Chicagoland Speedway debut.

“We were loose all weekend, but we finally got the car right where we needed it during that last caution,” says Allison. “During the last few laps of the race, though, the car started to get really tight. The weekend could have gone better, but overall we did well and learned a lot this weekend. I have to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and everyone at Team BCR for their commitment this weekend.”

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

(Mooresville, NC – July 14, 2014) Following a career best finish of 3rd at Michigan Int’l Speedway, Justin Allison is set to make his Chicagoland Speedway debut for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 on July 19th.

“I’m really excited to get back in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford,” says 22-year-old Justin Allison. “We had a great run at Michigan so I know we’ll have a strong outing come Chicago. I’m hoping to not only keep the top-5 streak going, but finally get that first win out of the way.”

Allison’s 2014 part-time schedule includes all of the FOX Sports 1 televised races. He captured a top-10 finish at Toledo Speedway and then moved on to Pocono Raceway to earn a top-5 finish.

Allison commented, “I can’t thank Howard Bixman and Team BCR enough for giving me this opportunity to develop my skills in moving forward with my racing career this season. This team hxlargeas given me some really fast cars this year, which has given me some great finishes. Based on our recent races, I feel really confident going into Chicago. Without the support of my family and our marketing partners this season, this life long dream wouldn’t be a reality.”

Piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite, Allison will be making his 6th debut of the season.

Team Manager, Howard Bixman mentioned, “I’m very impressed with how well Justin is adapting in the ARCA Racing Series. Justin is one of the top up and coming young drivers in this series. He’s had strong finishes in the last three races he has competed in for Team BCR. It won’t be long before he’s in a position to score his first win. Chicago is a very fast and demanding track for drivers, but Justin’s strong drive to be competitive and his raw talent will shine this weekend.”

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

(Brooklyn, MI – June 15, 2014)  Rookie driver, Justin Allison earns his career best finish of 3rd in his Michigan debut on Friday. The finish marks his third career best finish this year after finishing 7th at Toledo and then 5th at Pocono.

“Once I got comfortable with the car in the first few laps of the race, the car was fast and I knew at that point we were going to have a car to beat,” says Allison.
IMG_2089
Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in 12th for the Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan Int’l Speedway.

Allison mentioned, “We were a little free in qualifying and I was a little conservative. I wasn’t sure what to expect during the race, but after five or 10 laps, the car handled really well.”

After starting 12th, the No. 88 Ford powered by RoushYates Engines, made its way up to the 4th position on lap 16. Allison posted faster lap times than the race leader, but lost too much track position to compete for the lead. Not until the leaders came onto pit road under green flag conditions, Allison would lead the race for three laps.

Team BCR called in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford under green flag conditions for a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, sending Allison back out to the 4th position.

The caution flag flew for the second time of the race on lap 75. Team BCR decided to keep the No. 88 out, but Allison would have to conserve as much fuel as possible. Once the green flag flew for the restart, Allison had one eye on the fuel pressure gauge and the other on the leader, leaving him to finish the race in the 3rd position.

“I have to thank Team BCR and Howard Bixman for giving me another great car,” says Allison. “We have led laps and have been very competitive the last three races. Now it’s time to lead the last lap for our first win. I also have to thank HaVACo along with Rush Racing Products for giving me the opportunity to carry on the family legacy.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison plan to enter in the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 19.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

(Long Pond, PA – June 8, 2014)  What seemed like an exciting career best finish was disappointing for the rookie who had some of the fastest lap times throughout the weekend. Justin Allison, who had never even seen Pocono Raceway in person, made his debut on Saturday, where he earned a 5th place finish with Team BCR.

Driving the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion, Allison posted the fastest lap time in Wednesday’s afternoon testing session.
IMG_1908
“It was just a matter of me getting comfortable with the car,” says Allison. “Our car was good the first day of testing, even on old tires. All I needed after that was just to get comfortable with the track and the car. The track is so much different from any other track because it’s so difficult to stay in the same rhythm every lap.”

Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd and found his way right behind the #22 car up until lap 27, when he finally made his way around and up into the 2nd position. The No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines was posting faster lap times than the leader but lost the track position to compete for the lead early in the race.

Team BCR brought Allison in twice during the Pocono ARCA 200, with the first stop being a fuel-only stop and the second for a change of Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and adjustments. When Allison tried to exit the second stop, he found himself caught in the fourth gear. This made the restarts incredibly difficult and Allison would slowly back drop to 10th but managed to gain track position in the last ten laps to earn a career best top-5 finish.

Allison said, “I’m a little disappointed considering we should have won this in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford. Howard Bixman and Team BCR put together one of the best cars in the field, but we just had a gear issue. I learned a lot at Pocono and even got to lead a few laps of the race. I’m looking forward to coming back in August in order to compete for a win. I can’t thank HaVACoSales.com for their support this year.”

Howard Bixman, Team Manager and Crew Chief said, “Justin impressed me with how fast he adopted to this difficult track. He is one of the most talented young drivers in this series.  If we wouldn’t have had the problem at the end, I think we could have definitely had a win from him. All in all, we had a great weekend topping the leader board during testing, a strong 3rd place qualifying effort and the highest finishing rookie of the race. I’m sure Justin will take this confidence and momentum into next weekend’s Michigan race.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

Pre-Race Report
Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

(Mooresville, NC – June 3, 2014)  Justin Allison is set to make his Pocono Raceway debut this weekend piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. In preparation for his debut, he’ll be testing at the Tricky Triangle on Wednesday, June 4.

Season Recap: Allison will make his fourth start of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Pocono Raceway. His first two starts being at Daytona and Talladega. Allison then earned his career best finish at Toledo Speedway two weeks ago, finishing in 7th.
xlarge
Family History at the Tricky Triangle: Justin’s Great Uncle, Bobby Allison holds the most consecutive Pocono wins in NASCAR to this day. He won both Pocono races in 1982, then the spring race in 1983.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Meet Justin: Justin will be signing autographs on Saturday morning with other ARCA Racing Series drivers from 9:45-10:15am in the autograph area outside the track. He’ll also be signing at the Realtree Trailer throughout the weekend. Go to Justin’s Fan Facebook Page for updates throughout the weekend!

Team Manager / Crew Chief, Howard Bixman: “I’m impressed with how well Justin has adjusted to these cars, he did a great job at Toledo two weeks ago. He gave us great feedback all weekend and finished in the top-10 for his first ARCA short track race. We will be testing on Wednesday before the race and there’s a lot for Justin to learn at this difficult track. We’ve been working hard in the shop to get the No. 88 Ford ready and I’m expecting to have a strong outing.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

How are you preparing for the Tricky Triangle considering you’ve never been there and there’s so many different corners to learn?

“There really is no way to prepare myself for this type of track other than figuring it out myself. I’ve heard how fun and exciting it can be, but I also know there’s a lot to learn to be competitive. I don’t do any sort of simulator racing or watch videos like some drivers may. I think it’s best to just feel the track out myself. Howard and the team will give me a great car and the open test day will give me extra laps throughout the week.”

Being that your family has an extensive history at Pocono, with Bobby winning three races but also ending his career at the track, do you feel this factors into how you will perform?

“I don’t think the Allison history will have any factor into how we’ll perform at Pocono. Every track you to go to, there’s a risk you’re taking. It’s always helpful to know someone else who has the experience at the particular track, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to perform just like that. We’re in totally different equipment and with a winning team.”

Tune into the Race: The Pocono ARCA 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday, June 7 at 1pm ET. Practice for the race will take place on Friday, June 7 from 10-11:50am. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin on Friday at 2:30pm ET.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

(Toledo, OH – May 19, 2014)  Justin Allison in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion earned his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards top-10 finish in the Menards 200 yesterday at Toledo Speedway.

Allison began the race in the 10th position, gaining two positions by lap 51, where the caution flag flew. A majority of the field came in to pit, but Crew Chief Howard Bixman decided it was too early in the race to come in. Justin became the race leader and continued to run in the top-10.

Once the second caution flag flew, Bixman called the No. 88 Ford in for a change of four tires, cap off the fuel and some minor adjustments. Allison would stay in the top-10 until coming in for a final pit stop on lap 130, sending him back out to 13th. In those last laps, Allison made up the positions, to earn a 7th place finish.

“Overall, this was a great day for the No. 88 HaVACo Ford and Team BCR,” says Allison. “Howard made a great call on pit strategy to give us tires when nobody had any left towards the end of the race. I learned a few things towards the end of the race that I wish I would have picked up earlier on. I have to thank Howard for all the effort that is put into this program and the crew for putting together a great car.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman commented on Justin’s performance, “Wow, I’m really impressed with Justin today. He did a great job all day and showed he has the talent to be a contender. We had a goal to qualify and finish in the top-10, and we accomplished that. I think Justin learned a lot from the race today, and it will help as he progresses throughout the season.”

Allison’s next race on schedule is the Pocono ARCA 200 on June 7. The race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 1pm ET.

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

(Mooresville, NC – May 13, 2014) Having only speedway ARCA experience from Kansas, Daytona and Talladega, Justin Allison will make his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards short track debut at Toledo Speedway this weekend. Allison will pilot the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Team BCR Racing.

Although this is Justin’s first ARCA short track race, running on short tracks is certainly nothing new. Allison started his racing career in the Allison Legacy Series in 2006, where the series’ schedule consists of mainly short tracks. From 2007-2010, he won five races in the series. He then continued to dominate as he won the Allison Legacy Series Championship in 2011, winning 7 races and finishing top-5, 20 times in 21 races. From 2012-2013, Allison ran select PASS Super Late Model races.

“All of my racing experience comes from short track racing,” says Allison. “I’m looking forward to going to Toledo. We have a winning short track program at Team BCR, and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford should be strong.”

Allison tested the No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines at South Boston Speedway yesterday in preparation for the Menards 200.

Allison added, “Testing at South Boston Speedway gave me the extra confidence I needed. Short tracks are definitely more in my comfort zone. Howard Bixman and the crew gave me a great car, and I learned a great deal throughout the day. I know there’s room for improvement and a tremendous amount I need to learn moving forward. I’m really excited to see what the weekend holds for our #88 team.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did an outstanding job at the test yesterday. Once we had our base line, he turned competitive laps and I can tell he feels very comfortable at a short track. We worked on all kinds of scenarios at the test from short runs, long runs and restarts. His feedback was excellent and he’s going to have one competitive car at Toledo.”

The HaVACo Souvenir Trailer will be at Toledo Speedway with all of Justin Allison’s “Continuing the Legacy” apparel including hats, shirts and more. Stop by if you’re at the track!

The Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18.  Two practice sessions will take place on Saturday, from 11:45am-12:30pm and 1-1:45pm. Menards Pole Qualifying is set to start on Saturday at 3:30pm.

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

(Mooresville, NC – May 7, 2014)  As the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison (members of the original Alabama Gang), Justin Allison hopes to carry on the family legacy as he advances in his racing career. Allison will attempt to make this dream become a reality with the help from Team BCR teammate, Grant Enfinger, an Alabama native. Together, they could become the new “Alabama Gang.”
10268409_692678637460079_5007116616195435945_n
Allison has made only two starts in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion. With only speedway experience under his belt from Kansas in 2013, and Daytona and Talladega in 2014, the ARCA rookie will make his ARCA short track debut at Toledo Speedway.

“This is where the ‘real racing’ will happen,” says Allison. “Racing at these speedways, such as Daytona and Talladega, has a tremendous amount of variables.  At the short tracks, you not only have to bring a fast car, but have the talent as a driver. Howard Bixman and Team BCR has a proven winning short track program. I think we’ll be a threat to our competition in Toledo since short track racing is what I grew up on and have the most experience with.”

Allison’s teammate at Team BCR, Grant Enfinger in the No. 90 Motor Honey/Casite – Triple K Construction Ford, started off the year in victory lane. Not just once, or twice, but three times! And then remained to dominate as he earned his second-career pole award at Talladega Superspeedway.
-74a3d490cda5aa24
Enfinger raced Schrader door to door in last season’s Toledo race, until cutting a tire down, with just a few laps left of the race. Fairhope, AL’s driver will make his fifth start of the season as the current points leader for the 2014 ARCA Racing Series Championship with Team BCR.

Enfinger said, “Toledo’s a really good track to race at. We were very competitive last year and we’re bringing that same car back with us. We’ve made improvements, and I think we’re going to be even better than we were.”

The Menards 200 presented by Federated Auto Parts at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18, 2014.

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

(Lincoln, AL – May 5, 2014)  Alabama’s Justin Allison made his ARCA Talladega debut on Saturday, where luck was not on his side. The rookie driver blew two tires throughout the race, leaving him to finish in 19th.

Justin Allison, who is the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison, was honored to attend the Alabama Gang Superstretch unveiling on Wednesday, April 30. The track named the backstretch in honor of Donnie Allison, Bobby Allison, Davey Allison and Red Farmer (the original Alabama Gang). Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger (who is also from Alabama), attended the event as special guests and the new generation of Alabama racers.

“I grew up hearing all the stories about the Alabama Gang,” says Justin Allison. “Growing up, I never thought of them as big racers. I just saw them as family, but they’re still my heroes. As I get older, I’m realizing this is a really big deal.”

After the unveiling, it was finally time for Allison to make his Talladega debut and to continue his family’s legacy. Allison started 25th for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines. He was gaining positions in the first half of the race until a tire cut down, sending him into Clay Campbell in the #52 car.

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman called Allison in to fix the damages and sent him back out. Allison could feel a vibration in the car as he made his first lap around, realizing the fender was rubbing against the tire, which cut down another tire. Bixman brought the No. 88 Ford down pit road several more times for repairs. The crew did major repairs to the right side of the HaVACo Ford, while keeping Justin from losing any more positions. Allison fought hard to the end where he finished 19th.

“It’s disappointing our day ended like this,” says Justin Allison. “We had faster lap times than the leaders for a majority of the race, but we couldn’t make up the spots lost. With the green flag pit stops, the field was too spread out. I have to thank my Crew Chief, Howard Bixman and my crew for doing a good job on pit road and building a fast car. I also have to thank my Grandpa, Donnie, for pushing me through the entire race to the end. This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without the support of Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products.”

The next race on Allison’s schedule is Toledo Speedway on May 18 where the race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET.

Allison said, “Now it’s time to go ‘real’ racing at Toledo Speedway. I love short track racing and that’s where my strong suit is. Team BCR has a strong short track program, and we should be a threat there in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford. ”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job at Talladega this week dealing with a lot of damages. I’m proud of him for keeping focused and finishing strong after all the unfortunate events. Justin has that Allison blood in him and you can tell he is a very talented driver. He provided great feedback and his knowledge of the car is remarkable. Donnie has been his mentor throughout his racing career, and it shows.”

Team BCR Racing and Justin Allison Plan to Carry Family’s Talladega Legacy

(Mooresville, NC – April 29, 2014)  Justin Allison will have all eyes on him this weekend as he makes his Talladega ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards debut with Team BCR Racing in the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion.

Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison and nephew of Bobby Allison, who were the original members of the Alabama Gang. Donnie has won two races at the 2.5-mile track while Bobby has won four.
Daytona
“There’s a lot of family history at this track and a lot to live up to,” says Justin Allison. “It’s always been a dream of mine to race at Talladega Superspeedway. Not only do we have a lot of fans in Alabama, but we have a lot of family and friends there to support all of us for many decades.”

The ARCA Racing Series has made changes to the qualifying procedures for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200. Instead of doing a single car, two-lap qualifying run, the drivers will be placed into groups based on practice times.

“We’re really hoping my teammate, Grant Enfinger, and I will be able to help each other during qualifying and then the race,” says Allison. “We wanted to work together at Daytona, but since our chances ended early, we weren’t able to do so. It’s very beneficial to have a strong teammate at a superspeedway.”

Allison also tested the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines at Talladega two weeks ago, where he posted top-5 lap times on the second day of testing.

Allison said, “Howard Bixman [Crew Chief] and the rest of the guys at Team BCR have put together a great car for me so I feel confident going into this. Team BCR is the 2014 Daytona Champion, and our goal is nothing short of winning this. I’d like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Carwash and Randy Jones Nationwide Insurance for the support and faith in me to do this.”
Donnie/Justin
Crew Chief, Howard Bixman is confident in Justin’s capabilities at Talladega, “The test went very well with Justin. He’s never competed at Talladega and he did a great job. Donnie Allison spotted for Justin during the test, giving him great advice. Justin is a natural and a very talented driver. With his teammate Grant Enfinger, from Alabama as well, we may have the ‘New Alabama Gang.’ I’m really excited for him and his family to continue this legacy.”

Justin will make various appearances throughout the week. One of the events he will attend is on Friday, May 2 at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for the Race Fever event. The annual event benefits the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger, will do an on-stage interview at 5pm and then sign autographs for the children of the institute as well as other attendees of the event. Come by if you’re in the area!

Justin will also be at Talladega Superspeedway in the Sprint Fan Zone prior to the Sprint Cup Race. He will be at the Realtree trailer both Saturday and Sunday, times posted at the trailer. On Sunday, he will be in the grandstands signing autographs from 9-11am.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 11am ET on Saturday, May 3. Practice takes place on Friday, May 2 from 9-11am CT. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin at 3:30pm CT. Stay connected during practice and qualifying by going to www.arcaracing.com or by liking Team BCR or Justin’s Facebook Page.

(Mooresville, NC – April 14, 2014) In preparation for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 at Talladega Superspeedway, Justin Allison and Team BCR will attend the open test on April 16 and 17 in the #88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines.

I would like to thank Havacosales.com, Rush Racing Products and all our partners that have supported us.”

“Justin has shown us he has a tremendous amount of talent,” commented Crew Chief, Howard Bixman. “Daytona was disappointing for the #88 team, but Justin has adapted very well with our program. With that being said, we’re all looking forward to Talladega. The entire Allison family is very excited as well that Justin is carrying on the Allison Legacy at Talladega.”

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 is set to take place on Saturday, May 3 at 10am. The race will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1.

Tough Luck for Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing at Daytona

(Daytona Beach, FL – February 17, 2014)  Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing had a strong car, qualifying 12th for the Lucas Oil 200, but due to a 15-car wreck early in the race, their day ended early.

Allison tested at Daytona back in December with over 70 drivers and posted the 3rdfastest lap time throughout the entire weekend. Set to make his Daytona debut, the rookie driver drove the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford up into the 9th position respectively by lap 12 of the race.

Just 13 laps in, the race spiraled out of control when the No. 99 and No. 9 cars triggered a multiple car wreck. Allison quickly turned the wheel in order to avoid the wreck and would have been clear until the No. 66 hit the nose of Allison’s No. 88Havacosales.com Ford Fusion.

“It’s a shame our day had to end like this,” says 21-year-old driver, Justin Allison. “The Team BCR crew and I have been putting a lot of effort into making this car capable of a win. Howard gave me a great car that had the ability to finish well here but I guess it wasn’t in our cards today. I’m thankful I was given the chance to come here and make my Daytona debut with the support from HaVACo and Team BCR.”

Allison also mentioned, “I’d like to congratulate my teammate, Grant Enfinger, on winning the race. The team along with Grant and I work on our cars together at the shop so it’s rewarding to see our hard work paid off.”

Allison and Team BCR hope to bring the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion to Mobile International Speedway on March 22.

Team Manager and Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “It’s too bad this happened for Justin and the team. A lot of dedication and effort went into Justin’s car. He ran in the top ten and proved throughout speed weeks, he has the ability to be a winner in this series. I‘d like to thank HaVACo for their support. Now it’s just time to focus on the next race on our schedule, so we can have a strong finish Justin is more than capable of.”

Justin Allison to make Daytona Debut with Team BCR: Pre-Race Report

(Mooresville, NC – February 10, 2014) On the journey to carry his family’s legacy, Justin Allison will make his Daytona debut with Team BCR Racing in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion.

Family Legacy: Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison, who won the Firecracker 400 at Daytona International Speedway and a 125-mile qualifying race for the Daytona 500 in his career. His uncle Bobby Allison, a former Winston Cup Champion, has won six races at Daytona International Speedway.

Rookie Status: Where short track racing is the norm for the rookie driver, Daytona International Speedway will be the largest track Allison has ever driven on. Justin made his ARCA Racing Series debut with Team BCR at Kansas Speedway’s mile and a half track in 2013. Justin along with the rest of the staff at Team BCR believed he had the potential to take home a top-5 finish at Kansas, but finished up in 11th after a rain-shortened race.

Justin attended the ARCA Daytona test in December, finishing up 3rd overall on the weekend’s speed charts.

History on the Driver: Justin won the 2010 Legacy Racing Series Championship, finishing in the top-5 in 20 out of 21 races. He then ran selected races in the PASS Super Late Model Series and the Allison Legacy Series until 2013 when he made his ARCA debut with Team BCR Racing and Development Team.

Q & A with Justin Allison

What were your thoughts going out on the track the very first time at Daytona?

“I was terrified leaving the pits and I did not know what to expect. Of course, I’ve been given plenty of advice from my grandfather [Donnie Allison] along with my teammate Grant Enfinger but you don’t fully know what to expect until you’re out there doing it yourself. Once I got going, though, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. My Crew Chief Howard Bixman gave me a great car as the speed charts showed.”

What sort of advice has your grandfather given you and what will you take from that going into the race?

“My grandfather gave me advice in drafting and in single car runs. At this point in my career, all the advice I can get is very helpful. I have a great teammate, Grant Enfinger and a veteran Crew Chief, Howard Bixman to rely on as well.”

Meet Justin Allison: If you’re in the Daytona area, stop by the Daytona Racing Souvenirs and Hobbies Store on Friday February 14 from 6-7pm.

11th place Finish for Justin Allison’s First ARCA Start

(Kansas City, KS – Oct. 7, 2013) Justin Allison came home with a solid 11th place finish in his first-ever ARCA Racing Series event, the rain-shortened Kansas Lottery 98.9 which was run on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Kansas Speedway.Originally scheduled for 99 laps, ARCA and track officials shortened the race by 34 laps for safety reasons due to the rain and threatening weather in the area.

Allison qualified 11th in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines, and once the green flag flew, he was able to maneuver through the field and make his way as high as 6th at one point.

Several cautions slowed the race allowing Crew Chief Howard Bixman plenty of chances to boost Allison’s confidence as much as possible. At one point, Bixman told him over the radio, “You’re doing a great job out there. Many drivers are out there to gain Championship points so they’re driving aggressively. Just stay smart and stick to our game plan, and you’ll be in great shape.”Bixman made the call to bring in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion during a caution on lap 35 for four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, but made no adjustments. While Allison was making his way down pit road, Bixman then decided to bring him back down pit road again for fuel only before the green flag flew, and this gave the No. 88 enough gas to make it to end.

With a possible tornado in the area, ARCA officials felt it was best to clear the grandstands, so they announced on lap 55 that the race would end in 10 laps. At that time, Allison was in 16th and had to make up as much as ground as possible in the short time available, and he was able to climb to 11th.“We had a top 5 car here for sure,” Allison said. “I hate to see the race end so early when we were the first car with fresh tires and enough fuel to make it to the checkered flag. This was a great start to my ARCA racing career, and I look forward to working with Team BCR and Howard in the future. I’d like to thank the HaVACo group for coming out to watch the race, and I would like to thank the rest of my marketing partners for being a part of my debut; Rush Racing Products, Rick and Bubba Sausage produced by Polk’s Meat and Husky Liners. I greatly appreciate it.”

Bixman was equally thrilled with the results.

“Justin has some amazing driving talents, and I can already tell the family legacy will continue to live on,” Bixman said. “Justin has given me a lot to look forward to, and I can’t wait to work with him even more in the future. If the race wasn’t shortened, I have no doubts Justin would have came home with a top 5 finish and possibly have been a contender for a win. He has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Justin Allison is grandson of NASCAR legend Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison. Donnie attended the race to support his grandson and could not be more proud of Justin’s first performance on a major racing circuit.

“I think Justin did a tremendous job being that it was his first race ever in this type of car on this big of a racetrack,” Donnie Allison said. “I think he showed everybody his abilities as a race car driver.”

Team BCR Racing and Development Team, located in Mooresville, N.C, has positioned itself to become a first-rate driver development team that seeks out talented drivers and provides them with a quality equipment with the goal of grooming them for successful entry into NASCAR various racing series.

Justin Allison Announces Marketing Partners for Kansas Debut

(Mooresville, NC – Oct. 3, 2013)  When he makes his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards debut this Friday at Kansas Speedway, Justin Allison will be proud to have these marketing partners along for the ride.

The primary marketing partner on the No. 88 Ford Fusion is HaVACo Technologies Inc. while Rush Racing Products, Husky Liners and Rick and Bubba’s Smoked Sausage, produced by Polk’s Meat Products will be on board as associate marketing partners.

HaVACo, and its exclusive sales and marketing arm DuraTite Systems LLC, is a brand new company based in Erie, Penn., that manufacturers HVAC components out of plastic instead of tin and aluminum for sale to home builders, contractors and distributors.

“I am very excited to be associated with the Allisons and the reputation and good will that goes along with them,” HaVACo President Joe Prischak said. “I am very happy to have them help me promote our products, and I’m looking forward to a great relationship to come. I know Justin is going to do real well, and I believe this will be the start of something really good for many, many years to come for HaVACo and for race fans across the country.

Rush Racing Products has been Justin’s primary sponsor throughout the year on the Pro All-Star Series circuit and President Lou Pringle is thrilled that his company is taking the next step right along with Justin.

“This is extremely exciting,” Pringle said. “This young man has worked hard and now he is going to fulfill his dream. I am always excited when I see a young man that’s as hard working as Justin to accomplish his dreams. It’s a family thing for the Allisons that’s great to see, and it’s something generations of race fans are excited to see as well I’m sure.”

From the Rick and Bubba Show, Rick is very pleased to announce the partnership, “The Rick and Bubba Show is honored to have our brand associated with the legendary Allison name. It is truly an honor,” says Rick Burgess.

Justin Allison, grandson of legendary NASCAR driver Donnie Allison and nephew of NASCAR driver Bobby Allison, is looking to carry on the Allison family legacy. Allison successfully tested at Nashville Superspeedway on Monday to receive approval for his Kansas debut on Friday. He is excited to make his ARCA Racing Series debut with these partners.

“Testing at Nashville earlier this week went great with Team BCR,” Justin said. “(Crew Chief) Howard Bixman provided me with a great car. The test has given me the confidence I need for Kansas. Rush Racing Products has been a big part of my racing career, partnering with me in the PASS Super Late Model SOUTH Series for the 2013 season. I’m grateful they want to move forward and be a part of my ARCA debut. I would also like to thank HaVACo, Husky Liners and Rick and Bubba’s Smoked Sausage, produced by Polk’s Meat for stepping forward and making this all possible!”

Team BCR’s marketing partners Casite, Stanley Industries, RoushYates Engines, RoushYates Performance Parts, Ford Racing and Motorsports Rehabilitation Foundation will also be associated with Allison.

2012 News

June 30, 2012 –  Southern National – After qualifying 7th and running in the top five most of the night, Justin was involved in a wreck on lap 87 of the 125 lapper that took him out of the race with front end damage.
June 29, 2012 8:15pm – While Justin turned some really fast laps in practice today, the temperature soared to 107 degrees and much higher than that on the track. Temperatures for tomorrow are forcasted to be even hotter.
June 29, 2012- Justin is at Southern National Raceway Park practicing today for the 125 lap Super Late Model race tomorrow, Saturday June 30th. The track is a 4/10 mile located in Kenly, NC.  He was at the dyno yesterday and things went well so he is hoping for a good qualifying run and finish.  There has been a good field of cars at Kenly since the track reopened earlier this year and Justin will have some fierce competition.  Tomorrow the pit gate opens at 11:00am with practice at 2:00pm and qualifying at 5:00pm.  The green flag drops at 7:00pm.  Good Luck Justin!
May 26, 2012-Concord Motor Speedway CV Products 125- Justin started 20th and made his way up to the 10th spot by lap 10 of the race.  He avoided a major wreck and then was coming up on 6th place when he tapped the wall while running outside of Jay Fogleman.  He ran several more laps but the car had some minor damage that affected the handling so he had to park the car and finished in 19th place.
May 11, 2012-Wake County Speedway- Justin ran fast times in practice, qualified 13th and finished in the 10th spot in the 125 lapper…bringing the car home in one piece in the P.A.S.S. Super Late Model race at the 1/4 bullring track near Raleigh, NC.
4/21/2012 … “Orange County Speedway” … Justin Allison finally got to run his Ford Fusion “Grillin’ Sauce” #1 car at the “Pass 150” lap race at Orange County Speedway on Saturday night.  Just like the other races we have attempted, he ran really good in practice but our crate motor just won’t make the speed to qualify.  Justin started 22 out of the 26 cars there and it didn’t take but about fifteen laps for him to get in the top 15. He was patient all night as he worked his way into the top 10.  Justin did an excellent job of managing his tires, as the race was 150 green flag laps, and Justin was sitting in 9th place on the last restart with 30 laps to go.  With some awsome racing, as the laps were winding down, Justin moved into 7th place. He had his sights set on moving up, until interference with a lap car cost him too much ground on the track to make up in the short number of laps remaining, so Justin had to settle for a 7th place finish. 

The race “felt like a victory for him and the effort of his whole team”.  It was a great confidence booster for Justin after running so good in practice at the other events, but not being able to qaulify. The next race will be at Wake County Speedway on May 11th for the Pass 125 lapper.  As it looks right now, we may have our new engine for that event from Doug Yates and all the great guys at RoushYates Engines. We really look forward to competing in the remainder of the “Pass South” Super Late Model races, but right now we are taking them one at a time depending on sponsorship.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

This time around at Kansas Speedway, Allison will compete in the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion, a car that not only displays his name above the door, but he’s also listed as the car owner. Justin, along with his father, Kenny Allison have pieced together the car in their own shop in Salisbury, N.C. With decades of experience building cars and competing on the highest level, the Justin Allison Racing team will be stronger than ever as they enter the race weekend.

“I can’t wait to hit the track on Friday,” Allison said. “My team and I have worked tirelessly to get this car ready for the long trip out to the Midwest, and I’m just ready to see where we stack up. It’s a really humbling experience to have this opportunity, and I just can’t thank everyone enough for all of the hard work put into this effort.”

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

(Sparta, KY – September 21, 2014)   After starting 9th in the ZLOOP 150 at Kentucky Speedway, Justin Allison fought hard throughout the 100 laps to capture his 6th top-10 finish of the season in 7th place.

“We were a little aero tight when we were running with traffic, but overall the car felt great,” says Justin Allison. “We lost track position on our pit stop, but we definitely made a ton of gains throughout the race, making our way up to 4th at one point.”

After qualifying for the ZLOOP 150 in the 9th position, Allison maintained his position in the top-10 through the first half of the race. On lap 25, the caution flag flew; giving Team BCR the option to come into pit, but the team chose to stay out. Some of the cars on the lead lap chose to pit, giving Allison the chance to start 5th at the restart. Once the green flag flew again, Allison, in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion made his way up to 4th during a few laps.

When the second caution flag flew for debris on lap 45, where Allison was 7th at the time, the car was still a little tight. Crew Chief, Teddy Brown and the crew serviced the car for a wedge adjustment, air pressure adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco Fuel. When the pit crew went to change tires on the left side of the No. 88 HaVACo Ford, they had difficulties getting the car jacked up, which resulted in several lost positions.

Allison would be forced to restart 16th at the green flag on lap 52. During the last half of the race, Allison fought hard to gain back track position, finishing 7th.

“All in all, we were top-10 all day yesterday during practice and qualifying, but during the race I knew we would have easily been top-5,” says Allison. “Howard Bixman and the crew at Team BCR made sure I had one of the best cars out there as always and I can’t thank them for their commitment and hard work this week. I’d also like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Casite, Stanley Industries and Tornado Alley Car Wash for their continued support.”

Justin Allison Earns Career First ARCA Win with Team BCR

Justin Allison Earns Career First ARCA Win with Team BCR

(Long Pond, PA – August 2, 2014)  Strategy and talent came into play yesterday at Pocono Raceway when Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison earned his career first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards win.

“We made the right call by coming into pit when we did,” says Justin Allison, who is the first Allison to visit victory lane since 1993 when Davey Allison won at Richmond. “I’m at a loss for words. I know we had a good car, just a little bit tight, but we made the right calls. I can’t thank everyone enough, HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and Team BCR.”

Allison had a car to contend for a win with on Thursday’s “Tricky Triangle” practice session, when he posted the second fastest lap time of the day. He then qualified for the Modspace 125 in 5th.

Rainy weather just minutes before driver’s introductions pushed the start time of the Modspace 125 an hour back. With more dark clouds in the distance, all teams knew strategy was going to be key to winning the race if rain were to persist.

Allison, 22, was running 4th through the first two cautions of the race. On lap 18, Crew Chief Teddy Brown and Team Manager Howard Bixman, made the call to bring in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion seeing that the weather was clearing up and they would more than likely see all 50 laps that night. Team BCR’s crew just topped the No. 88 off with fuel and sent Allison back out to restart 17th.

This was no problem for Allison, who made his way into the top-10 on lap 25. On lap 36, he ran into lap traffic and Will Kimmel in the No. 69 car, which was the only other car that had already taken a pit stop in front of him. Justin took the low line and squeezed by all four cars to take away the 4th position. At this point, all three leaders in front of Allison still needed to pit. Once this happened, Allison would take the lead for the remaining 11 laps and earn his first ARCA Racing Series win in his career.

“Will (Kimmel) was trying to make ground on us at the end, but we had them in turn 3,” says Allison. “I don’t know what it is about this track, but I love driving here. Yes, it’s a 2.5-mile track, but you have to drive it like a short track and take each corner at a time.”

Team Manager, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job in the spring race and for him to win this is not only big for him, but the entire Allison family. This really shows how strong Team BCR is. This is our fifth win of the season and this time in the No. 88 car. The guys have been working hard at the shop and at the track. I can’t thank everyone enough for their help this weekend. It’s rare to see a driver pick up on this track as quickly as Justin has. He has a very bright future ahead.”

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

(Indianapolis, IN – July 28, 2014) Electrical issues ended Justin Allison’s night early at Lucas Oil Raceway in the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

“I couldn’t quite get comfortable with the track until the end of the second practice session,” says Allison. “The car felt great during practice, it just took me some time to learn the track and get use to it. We finally had a great run during qualifying and I was looking forward to a strong finish during the race.”

Allison posted the 5th fastest lap time during Menard’s Pole Qualifying. As the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200 progressed, Allison kept inside the top-10. When the first caution came out, Crew Chief Teddy Brown made the call for a track bar adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and to cap the No. 88 HaVACo Ford with Sunoco fuel, sending Allison out to 6th for the restart.

Allison maintained his position up until the second caution of the race. A few of the cars on the lead lap took tires while Allison stayed out to keep track position.

The third caution flew on lap 160 of 200 and the leader was involved in a crash. Brown once again brought the No. 88 Ford Fusion down pit road so the crew could service the car with four tires and make a track bar adjustment.

Allison lined up for the remaining laps. Once the green flag flew, the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford made contact with the wall entering turn 1. With right side damage, the rookie would maintain the ninth position up until lap 197 when the No. 88 Ford starting backing down. Team BCR thought the car was out of fuel until realizing there were electrical issues. Allison finished the race in 13th, ending his top-10 streak.

“We were tight off and on throughout the race,” says Allison. “The car was strong all day and I was able to learn a lot from this track. Howard (Bixman) gave me advice all day, which helped me gain my confidence and improve our performance. I want to thank Team BCR for giving me a good car and we appreciate the support from our partners, Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products. I’m really excited to get back to Pocono, since we ran really well there in June.”

Another Debut for Rookie Driver Justin Allison

Pre-Race Report
Another Debut for Rookie Driver Justin Allison

(Mooresville, NC – July 23, 2014) Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison is still searching for that first win in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. Next on schedule, he will take his first look at Lucas Oil Raceway as he makes his debut on Friday, July 25 for the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

Season Recap: Justin Allison earned four consecutive top-10 finishes in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Toledo Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan Int’l Speedway and most recently at Chicagoland Speedway. His highest finishing race was at Michigan International Speedway when he earned an ARCA career best of 3rd.

Family History at Lucas Oil Raceway: In his racing career, Justin’s cousin Davey Allison won an ARCA Racing Series race at Lucas Oil Raceway back in 1985. Davey has an extensive NASCAR record, holding 19 NASCAR Winston Cup Series victories.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Q & A with Justin Allison

As you continue to search for that first win, how do you expect Lucas Oil to go?

With that said, I’ve never been to Lucas Oil Raceway, but I have a ton of short track experience. I expect us to be pretty good.

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

(Joliet, IL – July 21, 2014)  In his Chicagoland Speedway ARCA Racing Series debut, Justin Allison earns his fourth consecutive top-10 finish in last weekend’s race.

“We struggled a bit during the weekend but we definitely bounced back and made the changes we needed to finish strong,” says 21-year-old Allison.

Justin Allison started the race from the 8th position and was running in 7th when the car was just too loose to handle for the rookie driver. Allison spun on the backstretch, causing the first caution of the race. No contact was made and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion would come in for a change of four Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and track bar adjustments.
IMG_2649
Allison restarted 18th at the green flag, making up two spots in three laps. As the next caution came out on lap 21, Allison mentioned the car was still too loose to handle so Team BCR brought the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in for a track bar adjustment and fuel, sending Allison back out to 19th for the restart.

The changes to the Ford seemed to help, since Allison made up nine spots by lap 48, taking away the 10th position. A caution mid-way through the race gave the team another opportunity to pit considering the car was still too loose for Allison to finish strong. The team made a wedge and track bar adjustment, changed all four Hoosier tires and capped the No. 88 off with Sunoco fuel, sending him back out to 10th.

After making his way into the top-5 in the remainder of the race, Allison slipped back in the closing laps to hold on to the 8th position and earn another top-10 finish in his Chicagoland Speedway debut.

“We were loose all weekend, but we finally got the car right where we needed it during that last caution,” says Allison. “During the last few laps of the race, though, the car started to get really tight. The weekend could have gone better, but overall we did well and learned a lot this weekend. I have to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and everyone at Team BCR for their commitment this weekend.”

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

(Mooresville, NC – July 14, 2014) Following a career best finish of 3rd at Michigan Int’l Speedway, Justin Allison is set to make his Chicagoland Speedway debut for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 on July 19th.

“I’m really excited to get back in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford,” says 22-year-old Justin Allison. “We had a great run at Michigan so I know we’ll have a strong outing come Chicago. I’m hoping to not only keep the top-5 streak going, but finally get that first win out of the way.”

Allison’s 2014 part-time schedule includes all of the FOX Sports 1 televised races. He captured a top-10 finish at Toledo Speedway and then moved on to Pocono Raceway to earn a top-5 finish. He not only had a strong outing during the Pocono race, but also topped the leader boards during testing and qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd at the “Tricky Triangle.” Allison kept the streak of career best finishes going when he earned a 3rd place finish at Michigan Int’l Speedway in his most recent start.

Allison commented, “I can’t thank Howard Bixman and Team BCR enough for giving me this opportunity to develop my skills in moving forward with my racing career this season. This team hxlargeas given me some really fast cars this year, which has given me some great finishes. Based on our recent races, I feel really confident going into Chicago. Without the support of my family and our marketing partners this season, this life long dream wouldn’t be a reality.”

Piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite, Allison will be making his 6th debut of the season.

Team Manager, Howard Bixman mentioned, “I’m very impressed with how well Justin is adapting in the ARCA Racing Series. Justin is one of the top up and coming young drivers in this series. He’s had strong finishes in the last three races he has competed in for Team BCR. It won’t be long before he’s in a position to score his first win. Chicago is a very fast and demanding track for drivers, but Justin’s strong drive to be competitive and his raw talent will shine this weekend.”

The Ansell Activ Armr 150 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 2 on Saturday, July 19 at 5pm CT. ARCAracing.com will provide live timing and scoring of practice on Friday, July 18 from 3:30-5:20pm CT. Menard’s Pole Qualifying will take place on Saturday, July 19 at 1:30pm CT.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

(Brooklyn, MI – June 15, 2014)  Rookie driver, Justin Allison earns his career best finish of 3rd in his Michigan debut on Friday. The finish marks his third career best finish this year after finishing 7th at Toledo and then 5th at Pocono.

“Once I got comfortable with the car in the first few laps of the race, the car was fast and I knew at that point we were going to have a car to beat,” says Allison.
IMG_2089
Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in 12th for the Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan Int’l Speedway.

Allison mentioned, “We were a little free in qualifying and I was a little conservative. I wasn’t sure what to expect during the race, but after five or 10 laps, the car handled really well.”

After starting 12th, the No. 88 Ford powered by RoushYates Engines, made its way up to the 4th position on lap 16. Allison posted faster lap times than the race leader, but lost too much track position to compete for the lead. Not until the leaders came onto pit road under green flag conditions, Allison would lead the race for three laps.

Team BCR called in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford under green flag conditions for a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, sending Allison back out to the 4th position.

The caution flag flew for the second time of the race on lap 75. Team BCR decided to keep the No. 88 out, but Allison would have to conserve as much fuel as possible. Once the green flag flew for the restart, Allison had one eye on the fuel pressure gauge and the other on the leader, leaving him to finish the race in the 3rd position.

“I have to thank Team BCR and Howard Bixman for giving me another great car,” says Allison. “We have led laps and have been very competitive the last three races. Now it’s time to lead the last lap for our first win. I also have to thank HaVACo along with Rush Racing Products for giving me the opportunity to carry on the family legacy.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison plan to enter in the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 19.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

(Long Pond, PA – June 8, 2014)  What seemed like an exciting career best finish was disappointing for the rookie who had some of the fastest lap times throughout the weekend. Justin Allison, who had never even seen Pocono Raceway in person, made his debut on Saturday, where he earned a 5th place finish with Team BCR.

Driving the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion, Allison posted the fastest lap time in Wednesday’s afternoon testing session.
IMG_1908
“It was just a matter of me getting comfortable with the car,” says Allison. “Our car was good the first day of testing, even on old tires. All I needed after that was just to get comfortable with the track and the car. The track is so much different from any other track because it’s so difficult to stay in the same rhythm every lap.”

Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd and found his way right behind the #22 car up until lap 27, when he finally made his way around and up into the 2nd position. The No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines was posting faster lap times than the leader but lost the track position to compete for the lead early in the race.

Team BCR brought Allison in twice during the Pocono ARCA 200, with the first stop being a fuel-only stop and the second for a change of Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and adjustments. When Allison tried to exit the second stop, he found himself caught in the fourth gear. This made the restarts incredibly difficult and Allison would slowly back drop to 10th but managed to gain track position in the last ten laps to earn a career best top-5 finish.

Allison said, “I’m a little disappointed considering we should have won this in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford. Howard Bixman and Team BCR put together one of the best cars in the field, but we just had a gear issue. I learned a lot at Pocono and even got to lead a few laps of the race. I’m looking forward to coming back in August in order to compete for a win. I can’t thank HaVACoSales.com for their support this year.”

Howard Bixman, Team Manager and Crew Chief said, “Justin impressed me with how fast he adopted to this difficult track. He is one of the most talented young drivers in this series.  If we wouldn’t have had the problem at the end, I think we could have definitely had a win from him. All in all, we had a great weekend topping the leader board during testing, a strong 3rd place qualifying effort and the highest finishing rookie of the race. I’m sure Justin will take this confidence and momentum into next weekend’s Michigan race.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

Pre-Race Report
Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

(Mooresville, NC – June 3, 2014)  Justin Allison is set to make his Pocono Raceway debut this weekend piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. In preparation for his debut, he’ll be testing at the Tricky Triangle on Wednesday, June 4.

Season Recap: Allison will make his fourth start of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Pocono Raceway. His first two starts being at Daytona and Talladega. Allison then earned his career best finish at Toledo Speedway two weeks ago, finishing in 7th.
xlarge
Family History at the Tricky Triangle: Justin’s Great Uncle, Bobby Allison holds the most consecutive Pocono wins in NASCAR to this day. He won both Pocono races in 1982, then the spring race in 1983.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Meet Justin: Justin will be signing autographs on Saturday morning with other ARCA Racing Series drivers from 9:45-10:15am in the autograph area outside the track. He’ll also be signing at the Realtree Trailer throughout the weekend. Go to Justin’s Fan Facebook Page for updates throughout the weekend!

Team Manager / Crew Chief, Howard Bixman: “I’m impressed with how well Justin has adjusted to these cars, he did a great job at Toledo two weeks ago. He gave us great feedback all weekend and finished in the top-10 for his first ARCA short track race. We will be testing on Wednesday before the race and there’s a lot for Justin to learn at this difficult track. We’ve been working hard in the shop to get the No. 88 Ford ready and I’m expecting to have a strong outing.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

How are you preparing for the Tricky Triangle considering you’ve never been there and there’s so many different corners to learn?

“There really is no way to prepare myself for this type of track other than figuring it out myself. I’ve heard how fun and exciting it can be, but I also know there’s a lot to learn to be competitive. I don’t do any sort of simulator racing or watch videos like some drivers may. I think it’s best to just feel the track out myself. Howard and the team will give me a great car and the open test day will give me extra laps throughout the week.”

Being that your family has an extensive history at Pocono, with Bobby winning three races but also ending his career at the track, do you feel this factors into how you will perform?

“I don’t think the Allison history will have any factor into how we’ll perform at Pocono. Every track you to go to, there’s a risk you’re taking. It’s always helpful to know someone else who has the experience at the particular track, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to perform just like that. We’re in totally different equipment and with a winning team.”

Tune into the Race: The Pocono ARCA 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday, June 7 at 1pm ET. Practice for the race will take place on Friday, June 7 from 10-11:50am. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin on Friday at 2:30pm ET.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

(Toledo, OH – May 19, 2014)  Justin Allison in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion earned his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards top-10 finish in the Menards 200 yesterday at Toledo Speedway.

Allison began the race in the 10th position, gaining two positions by lap 51, where the caution flag flew. A majority of the field came in to pit, but Crew Chief Howard Bixman decided it was too early in the race to come in. Justin became the race leader and continued to run in the top-10.
IMG_0148
Once the second caution flag flew, Bixman called the No. 88 Ford in for a change of four tires, cap off the fuel and some minor adjustments. Allison would stay in the top-10 until coming in for a final pit stop on lap 130, sending him back out to 13th. In those last laps, Allison made up the positions, to earn a 7th place finish.

“Overall, this was a great day for the No. 88 HaVACo Ford and Team BCR,” says Allison. “Howard made a great call on pit strategy to give us tires when nobody had any left towards the end of the race. I learned a few things towards the end of the race that I wish I would have picked up earlier on. I have to thank Howard for all the effort that is put into this program and the crew for putting together a great car.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman commented on Justin’s performance, “Wow, I’m really impressed with Justin today. He did a great job all day and showed he has the talent to be a contender. We had a goal to qualify and finish in the top-10, and we accomplished that. I think Justin learned a lot from the race today, and it will help as he progresses throughout the season.”

Allison’s next race on schedule is the Pocono ARCA 200 on June 7. The race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 1pm ET.

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

(Mooresville, NC – May 13, 2014) Having only speedway ARCA experience from Kansas, Daytona and Talladega, Justin Allison will make his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards short track debut at Toledo Speedway this weekend. Allison will pilot the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Team BCR Racing.

Although this is Justin’s first ARCA short track race, running on short tracks is certainly nothing new. Allison started his racing career in the Allison Legacy Series in 2006, where the series’ schedule consists of mainly short tracks. From 2007-2010, he won five races in the series. He then continued to dominate as he won the Allison Legacy Series Championship in 2011, winning 7 races and finishing top-5, 20 times in 21 races. From 2012-2013, Allison ran select PASS Super Late Model races.
10298920_646544588759276_236730290708957191_n
“All of my racing experience comes from short track racing,” says Allison. “I’m looking forward to going to Toledo. We have a winning short track program at Team BCR, and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford should be strong.”

Allison tested the No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines at South Boston Speedway yesterday in preparation for the Menards 200.

Allison added, “Testing at South Boston Speedway gave me the extra confidence I needed. Short tracks are definitely more in my comfort zone. Howard Bixman and the crew gave me a great car, and I learned a great deal throughout the day. I know there’s room for improvement and a tremendous amount I need to learn moving forward. I’m really excited to see what the weekend holds for our #88 team.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did an outstanding job at the test yesterday. Once we had our base line, he turned competitive laps and I can tell he feels very comfortable at a short track. We worked on all kinds of scenarios at the test from short runs, long runs and restarts. His feedback was excellent and he’s going to have one competitive car at Toledo.”

The HaVACo Souvenir Trailer will be at Toledo Speedway with all of Justin Allison’s “Continuing the Legacy” apparel including hats, shirts and more. Stop by if you’re at the track!

The Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18.  Two practice sessions will take place on Saturday, from 11:45am-12:30pm and 1-1:45pm. Menards Pole Qualifying is set to start on Saturday at 3:30pm.

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

(Mooresville, NC – May 7, 2014)  As the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison (members of the original Alabama Gang), Justin Allison hopes to carry on the family legacy as he advances in his racing career. Allison will attempt to make this dream become a reality with the help from Team BCR teammate, Grant Enfinger, an Alabama native. Together, they could become the new “Alabama Gang.”
10268409_692678637460079_5007116616195435945_n
Allison has made only two starts in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion. With only speedway experience under his belt from Kansas in 2013, and Daytona and Talladega in 2014, the ARCA rookie will make his ARCA short track debut at Toledo Speedway.

“This is where the ‘real racing’ will happen,” says Allison. “Racing at these speedways, such as Daytona and Talladega, has a tremendous amount of variables.  At the short tracks, you not only have to bring a fast car, but have the talent as a driver. Howard Bixman and Team BCR has a proven winning short track program. I think we’ll be a threat to our competition in Toledo since short track racing is what I grew up on and have the most experience with.”

Allison’s teammate at Team BCR, Grant Enfinger in the No. 90 Motor Honey/Casite – Triple K Construction Ford, started off the year in victory lane. Not just once, or twice, but three times! And then remained to dominate as he earned his second-career pole award at Talladega Superspeedway.
-74a3d490cda5aa24
Enfinger raced Schrader door to door in last season’s Toledo race, until cutting a tire down, with just a few laps left of the race. Fairhope, AL’s driver will make his fifth start of the season as the current points leader for the 2014 ARCA Racing Series Championship with Team BCR.

Enfinger said, “Toledo’s a really good track to race at. We were very competitive last year and we’re bringing that same car back with us. We’ve made improvements, and I think we’re going to be even better than we were.”

The Menards 200 presented by Federated Auto Parts at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18, 2014.

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

(Lincoln, AL – May 5, 2014)  Alabama’s Justin Allison made his ARCA Talladega debut on Saturday, where luck was not on his side. The rookie driver blew two tires throughout the race, leaving him to finish in 19th.

Justin Allison, who is the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison, was honored to attend the Alabama Gang Superstretch unveiling on Wednesday, April 30. The track named the backstretch in honor of Donnie Allison, Bobby Allison, Davey Allison and Red Farmer (the original Alabama Gang). Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger (who is also from Alabama), attended the event as special guests and the new generation of Alabama racers.

“I grew up hearing all the stories about the Alabama Gang,” says Justin Allison. “Growing up, I never thought of them as big racers. I just saw them as family, but they’re still my heroes. As I get older, I’m realizing this is a really big deal.”

After the unveiling, it was finally time for Allison to make his Talladega debut and to continue his family’s legacy. Allison started 25th for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines. He was gaining positions in the first half of the race until a tire cut down, sending him into Clay Campbell in the #52 car.

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman called Allison in to fix the damages and sent him back out. Allison could feel a vibration in the car as he made his first lap around, realizing the fender was rubbing against the tire, which cut down another tire. Bixman brought the No. 88 Ford down pit road several more times for repairs. The crew did major repairs to the right side of the HaVACo Ford, while keeping Justin from losing any more positions. Allison fought hard to the end where he finished 19th.

“It’s disappointing our day ended like this,” says Justin Allison. “We had faster lap times than the leaders for a majority of the race, but we couldn’t make up the spots lost. With the green flag pit stops, the field was too spread out. I have to thank my Crew Chief, Howard Bixman and my crew for doing a good job on pit road and building a fast car. I also have to thank my Grandpa, Donnie, for pushing me through the entire race to the end. This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without the support of Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products.”

The next race on Allison’s schedule is Toledo Speedway on May 18 where the race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET.

Allison said, “Now it’s time to go ‘real’ racing at Toledo Speedway. I love short track racing and that’s where my strong suit is. Team BCR has a strong short track program, and we should be a threat there in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford. ”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job at Talladega this week dealing with a lot of damages. I’m proud of him for keeping focused and finishing strong after all the unfortunate events. Justin has that Allison blood in him and you can tell he is a very talented driver. He provided great feedback and his knowledge of the car is remarkable. Donnie has been his mentor throughout his racing career, and it shows.”

Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison and nephew of Bobby Allison, who were the original members of the Alabama Gang. Donnie has won two races at the 2.5-mile track while Bobby has won four.
Daytona
“There’s a lot of family history at this track and a lot to live up to,” says Justin Allison. “It’s always been a dream of mine to race at Talladega Superspeedway. Not only do we have a lot of fans in Alabama, but we have a lot of family and friends there to support all of us for many decades.”

The ARCA Racing Series has made changes to the qualifying procedures for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200. Instead of doing a single car, two-lap qualifying run, the drivers will be placed into groups based on practice times.

“We’re really hoping my teammate, Grant Enfinger, and I will be able to help each other during qualifying and then the race,” says Allison. “We wanted to work together at Daytona, but since our chances ended early, we weren’t able to do so. It’s very beneficial to have a strong teammate at a superspeedway.”

Allison also tested the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines at Talladega two weeks ago, where he posted top-5 lap times on the second day of testing.

Allison said, “Howard Bixman [Crew Chief] and the rest of the guys at Team BCR have put together a great car for me so I feel confident going into this. Team BCR is the 2014 Daytona Champion, and our goal is nothing short of winning this. I’d like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Carwash and Randy Jones Nationwide Insurance for the support and faith in me to do this.”
Donnie/Justin
Crew Chief, Howard Bixman is confident in Justin’s capabilities at Talladega, “The test went very well with Justin. He’s never competed at Talladega and he did a great job. Donnie Allison spotted for Justin during the test, giving him great advice. Justin is a natural and a very talented driver. With his teammate Grant Enfinger, from Alabama as well, we may have the ‘New Alabama Gang.’ I’m really excited for him and his family to continue this legacy.”

Justin will make various appearances throughout the week. One of the events he will attend is on Friday, May 2 at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for the Race Fever event. The annual event benefits the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger, will do an on-stage interview at 5pm and then sign autographs for the children of the institute as well as other attendees of the event. Come by if you’re in the area!

Justin will also be at Talladega Superspeedway in the Sprint Fan Zone prior to the Sprint Cup Race. He will be at the Realtree trailer both Saturday and Sunday, times posted at the trailer. On Sunday, he will be in the grandstands signing autographs from 9-11am.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 11am ET on Saturday, May 3. Practice takes place on Friday, May 2 from 9-11am CT. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin at 3:30pm CT. Stay connected during practice and qualifying by going to www.arcaracing.com or by liking Team BCR or Justin’s Facebook Page.

I would like to thank Havacosales.com, Rush Racing Products and all our partners that have supported us.”

Tough Luck for Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing at Daytona

(Daytona Beach, FL – February 17, 2014)  Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing had a strong car, qualifying 12th for the Lucas Oil 200, but due to a 15-car wreck early in the race, their day ended early.

Allison tested at Daytona back in December with over 70 drivers and posted the 3rdfastest lap time throughout the entire weekend. Set to make his Daytona debut, the rookie driver drove the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford up into the 9th position respectively by lap 12 of the race.

Just 13 laps in, the race spiraled out of control when the No. 99 and No. 9 cars triggered a multiple car wreck. Allison quickly turned the wheel in order to avoid the wreck and would have been clear until the No. 66 hit the nose of Allison’s No. 88Havacosales.com Ford Fusion.

“It’s a shame our day had to end like this,” says 21-year-old driver, Justin Allison. “The Team BCR crew and I have been putting a lot of effort into making this car capable of a win. Howard gave me a great car that had the ability to finish well here but I guess it wasn’t in our cards today. I’m thankful I was given the chance to come here and make my Daytona debut with the support from HaVACo and Team BCR.”

Allison also mentioned, “I’d like to congratulate my teammate, Grant Enfinger, on winning the race. The team along with Grant and I work on our cars together at the shop so it’s rewarding to see our hard work paid off.”

Allison and Team BCR hope to bring the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion to Mobile International Speedway on March 22.

Team Manager and Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “It’s too bad this happened for Justin and the team. A lot of dedication and effort went into Justin’s car. He ran in the top ten and proved throughout speed weeks, he has the ability to be a winner in this series. I‘d like to thank HaVACo for their support. Now it’s just time to focus on the next race on our schedule, so we can have a strong finish Justin is more than capable of.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

What were your thoughts going out on the track the very first time at Daytona?

“I was terrified leaving the pits and I did not know what to expect. Of course, I’ve been given plenty of advice from my grandfather [Donnie Allison] along with my teammate Grant Enfinger but you don’t fully know what to expect until you’re out there doing it yourself. Once I got going, though, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. My Crew Chief Howard Bixman gave me a great car as the speed charts showed.”

What sort of advice has your grandfather given you and what will you take from that going into the race?

“My grandfather gave me advice in drafting and in single car runs. At this point in my career, all the advice I can get is very helpful. I have a great teammate, Grant Enfinger and a veteran Crew Chief, Howard Bixman to rely on as well.”

11th place Finish for Justin Allison’s First ARCA Start

(Kansas City, KS – Oct. 7, 2013) Justin Allison came home with a solid 11th place finish in his first-ever ARCA Racing Series event, the rain-shortened Kansas Lottery 98.9 which was run on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Kansas Speedway.Originally scheduled for 99 laps, ARCA and track officials shortened the race by 34 laps for safety reasons due to the rain and threatening weather in the area.

Allison qualified 11th in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines, and once the green flag flew, he was able to maneuver through the field and make his way as high as 6th at one point.

Several cautions slowed the race allowing Crew Chief Howard Bixman plenty of chances to boost Allison’s confidence as much as possible. At one point, Bixman told him over the radio, “You’re doing a great job out there. Many drivers are out there to gain Championship points so they’re driving aggressively. Just stay smart and stick to our game plan, and you’ll be in great shape.”Bixman made the call to bring in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion during a caution on lap 35 for four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, but made no adjustments. While Allison was making his way down pit road, Bixman then decided to bring him back down pit road again for fuel only before the green flag flew, and this gave the No. 88 enough gas to make it to end.

With a possible tornado in the area, ARCA officials felt it was best to clear the grandstands, so they announced on lap 55 that the race would end in 10 laps. At that time, Allison was in 16th and had to make up as much as ground as possible in the short time available, and he was able to climb to 11th.“We had a top 5 car here for sure,” Allison said. “I hate to see the race end so early when we were the first car with fresh tires and enough fuel to make it to the checkered flag. This was a great start to my ARCA racing career, and I look forward to working with Team BCR and Howard in the future. I’d like to thank the HaVACo group for coming out to watch the race, and I would like to thank the rest of my marketing partners for being a part of my debut; Rush Racing Products, Rick and Bubba Sausage produced by Polk’s Meat and Husky Liners. I greatly appreciate it.”

Bixman was equally thrilled with the results.

“Justin has some amazing driving talents, and I can already tell the family legacy will continue to live on,” Bixman said. “Justin has given me a lot to look forward to, and I can’t wait to work with him even more in the future. If the race wasn’t shortened, I have no doubts Justin would have came home with a top 5 finish and possibly have been a contender for a win. He has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Justin Allison is grandson of NASCAR legend Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison. Donnie attended the race to support his grandson and could not be more proud of Justin’s first performance on a major racing circuit.

“I think Justin did a tremendous job being that it was his first race ever in this type of car on this big of a racetrack,” Donnie Allison said. “I think he showed everybody his abilities as a race car driver.”

Team BCR Racing and Development Team, located in Mooresville, N.C, has positioned itself to become a first-rate driver development team that seeks out talented drivers and provides them with a quality equipment with the goal of grooming them for successful entry into NASCAR various racing series.

2012 News

June 30, 2012 –  Southern National – After qualifying 7th and running in the top five most of the night, Justin was involved in a wreck on lap 87 of the 125 lapper that took him out of the race with front end damage.
June 29, 2012 8:15pm – While Justin turned some really fast laps in practice today, the temperature soared to 107 degrees and much higher than that on the track. Temperatures for tomorrow are forcasted to be even hotter.
June 29, 2012- Justin is at Southern National Raceway Park practicing today for the 125 lap Super Late Model race tomorrow, Saturday June 30th. The track is a 4/10 mile located in Kenly, NC.  He was at the dyno yesterday and things went well so he is hoping for a good qualifying run and finish.  There has been a good field of cars at Kenly since the track reopened earlier this year and Justin will have some fierce competition.  Tomorrow the pit gate opens at 11:00am with practice at 2:00pm and qualifying at 5:00pm.  The green flag drops at 7:00pm.  Good Luck Justin!
May 26, 2012-Concord Motor Speedway CV Products 125- Justin started 20th and made his way up to the 10th spot by lap 10 of the race.  He avoided a major wreck and then was coming up on 6th place when he tapped the wall while running outside of Jay Fogleman.  He ran several more laps but the car had some minor damage that affected the handling so he had to park the car and finished in 19th place.
May 11, 2012-Wake County Speedway- Justin ran fast times in practice, qualified 13th and finished in the 10th spot in the 125 lapper…bringing the car home in one piece in the P.A.S.S. Super Late Model race at the 1/4 bullring track near Raleigh, NC.
4/21/2012 … “Orange County Speedway” … Justin Allison finally got to run his Ford Fusion “Grillin’ Sauce” #1 car at the “Pass 150” lap race at Orange County Speedway on Saturday night.  Just like the other races we have attempted, he ran really good in practice but our crate motor just won’t make the speed to qualify.  Justin started 22 out of the 26 cars there and it didn’t take but about fifteen laps for him to get in the top 15. He was patient all night as he worked his way into the top 10.  Justin did an excellent job of managing his tires, as the race was 150 green flag laps, and Justin was sitting in 9th place on the last restart with 30 laps to go.  With some awsome racing, as the laps were winding down, Justin moved into 7th place. He had his sights set on moving up, until interference with a lap car cost him too much ground on the track to make up in the short number of laps remaining, so Justin had to settle for a 7th place finish. 

The race “felt like a victory for him and the effort of his whole team”.  It was a great confidence booster for Justin after running so good in practice at the other events, but not being able to qaulify. The next race will be at Wake County Speedway on May 11th for the Pass 125 lapper.  As it looks right now, we may have our new engine for that event from Doug Yates and all the great guys at RoushYates Engines. We really look forward to competing in the remainder of the “Pass South” Super Late Model races, but right now we are taking them one at a time depending on sponsorship.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

Justin Allison Eager To Debut Team In ARCA 98.9 At Kansas Speedway

(SALISBURY, N.C. – October 1, 2014) – Coming off a seventh place finish at Kentucky Speedway two weekends ago, Justin Allison is eager to get back behind the wheel for the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway while debuting his own team, Justin Allison Racing on Friday, Oct. 3.

Justin Allison made his series debut at Kansas Speedway last year, finishing just outside the top-10 in the 11th place. One year later, Allison has compiled one win (Pocono Raceway in August), three top-five and six top-10 finishes in only nine starts this season in the ARCA Racing Series.

“I’m excited about going back to Kansas,” Allison said. “It’s a place I’ve already been, and I like the track. I’m also excited about running my own stuff and starting my own team. I’d like to thank the Prischak family-HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible for me to run my car at Kansas and race in ARCA for the 2014 season”.

This time around at Kansas Speedway, Allison will compete in the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion, a car that not only displays his name above the door, but he’s also listed as the car owner. Justin, along with his father, Kenny Allison have pieced together the car in their own shop in Salisbury, N.C. With decades of experience building cars and competing on the highest level, the Justin Allison Racing team will be stronger than ever as they enter the race weekend.

“I can’t wait to hit the track on Friday,” Allison said. “My team and I have worked tirelessly to get this car ready for the long trip out to the Midwest, and I’m just ready to see where we stack up. It’s a really humbling experience to have this opportunity, and I just can’t thank everyone enough for all of the hard work put into this effort.”

On Friday, the one and only practice session kicks off at 9 a.m. CDT, followed by Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell at 1:35 p.m. CDT. The ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway will be live on Fox Sports 2 at 8:30 p.m. EST

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

(Sparta, KY – September 21, 2014)   After starting 9th in the ZLOOP 150 at Kentucky Speedway, Justin Allison fought hard throughout the 100 laps to capture his 6th top-10 finish of the season in 7th place.

“We were a little aero tight when we were running with traffic, but overall the car felt great,” says Justin Allison. “We lost track position on our pit stop, but we definitely made a ton of gains throughout the race, making our way up to 4th at one point.”

After qualifying for the ZLOOP 150 in the 9th position, Allison maintained his position in the top-10 through the first half of the race. On lap 25, the caution flag flew; giving Team BCR the option to come into pit, but the team chose to stay out. Some of the cars on the lead lap chose to pit, giving Allison the chance to start 5th at the restart. Once the green flag flew again, Allison, in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion made his way up to 4th during a few laps.

When the second caution flag flew for debris on lap 45, where Allison was 7th at the time, the car was still a little tight. Crew Chief, Teddy Brown and the crew serviced the car for a wedge adjustment, air pressure adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco Fuel. When the pit crew went to change tires on the left side of the No. 88 HaVACo Ford, they had difficulties getting the car jacked up, which resulted in several lost positions.

Allison would be forced to restart 16th at the green flag on lap 52. During the last half of the race, Allison fought hard to gain back track position, finishing 7th.

“All in all, we were top-10 all day yesterday during practice and qualifying, but during the race I knew we would have easily been top-5,” says Allison. “Howard Bixman and the crew at Team BCR made sure I had one of the best cars out there as always and I can’t thank them for their commitment and hard work this week. I’d also like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Casite, Stanley Industries and Tornado Alley Car Wash for their continued support.”

(Long Pond, PA – August 2, 2014)  Strategy and talent came into play yesterday at Pocono Raceway when Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison earned his career first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards win.

“We made the right call by coming into pit when we did,” says Justin Allison, who is the first Allison to visit victory lane since 1993 when Davey Allison won at Richmond. “I’m at a loss for words. I know we had a good car, just a little bit tight, but we made the right calls. I can’t thank everyone enough, HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and Team BCR.”

Allison had a car to contend for a win with on Thursday’s “Tricky Triangle” practice session, when he posted the second fastest lap time of the day. He then qualified for the Modspace 125 in 5th.

Rainy weather just minutes before driver’s introductions pushed the start time of the Modspace 125 an hour back. With more dark clouds in the distance, all teams knew strategy was going to be key to winning the race if rain were to persist.

Allison, 22, was running 4th through the first two cautions of the race. On lap 18, Crew Chief Teddy Brown and Team Manager Howard Bixman, made the call to bring in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion seeing that the weather was clearing up and they would more than likely see all 50 laps that night. Team BCR’s crew just topped the No. 88 off with fuel and sent Allison back out to restart 17th.

This was no problem for Allison, who made his way into the top-10 on lap 25. On lap 36, he ran into lap traffic and Will Kimmel in the No. 69 car, which was the only other car that had already taken a pit stop in front of him. Justin took the low line and squeezed by all four cars to take away the 4th position. At this point, all three leaders in front of Allison still needed to pit. Once this happened, Allison would take the lead for the remaining 11 laps and earn his first ARCA Racing Series win in his career.

“Will (Kimmel) was trying to make ground on us at the end, but we had them in turn 3,” says Allison. “I don’t know what it is about this track, but I love driving here. Yes, it’s a 2.5-mile track, but you have to drive it like a short track and take each corner at a time.”

Team Manager, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job in the spring race and for him to win this is not only big for him, but the entire Allison family. This really shows how strong Team BCR is. This is our fifth win of the season and this time in the No. 88 car. The guys have been working hard at the shop and at the track. I can’t thank everyone enough for their help this weekend. It’s rare to see a driver pick up on this track as quickly as Justin has. He has a very bright future ahead.”

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

(Indianapolis, IN – July 28, 2014) Electrical issues ended Justin Allison’s night early at Lucas Oil Raceway in the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

“I couldn’t quite get comfortable with the track until the end of the second practice session,” says Allison. “The car felt great during practice, it just took me some time to learn the track and get use to it. We finally had a great run during qualifying and I was looking forward to a strong finish during the race.”

Allison posted the 5th fastest lap time during Menard’s Pole Qualifying. As the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200 progressed, Allison kept inside the top-10. When the first caution came out, Crew Chief Teddy Brown made the call for a track bar adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and to cap the No. 88 HaVACo Ford with Sunoco fuel, sending Allison out to 6th for the restart.

Allison maintained his position up until the second caution of the race. A few of the cars on the lead lap took tires while Allison stayed out to keep track position.

The third caution flew on lap 160 of 200 and the leader was involved in a crash. Brown once again brought the No. 88 Ford Fusion down pit road so the crew could service the car with four tires and make a track bar adjustment.

Allison lined up for the remaining laps. Once the green flag flew, the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford made contact with the wall entering turn 1. With right side damage, the rookie would maintain the ninth position up until lap 197 when the No. 88 Ford starting backing down. Team BCR thought the car was out of fuel until realizing there were electrical issues. Allison finished the race in 13th, ending his top-10 streak.

“We were tight off and on throughout the race,” says Allison. “The car was strong all day and I was able to learn a lot from this track. Howard (Bixman) gave me advice all day, which helped me gain my confidence and improve our performance. I want to thank Team BCR for giving me a good car and we appreciate the support from our partners, Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products. I’m really excited to get back to Pocono, since we ran really well there in June.”

Next on schedule, he will take his first look at Lucas Oil Raceway as he makes his debut on Friday, July 25 for the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

Season Recap: Justin Allison earned four consecutive top-10 finishes in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Toledo Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan Int’l Speedway and most recently at Chicagoland Speedway.

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

(Joliet, IL – July 21, 2014)  In his Chicagoland Speedway ARCA Racing Series debut, Justin Allison earns his fourth consecutive top-10 finish in last weekend’s race.

“We struggled a bit during the weekend but we definitely bounced back and made the changes we needed to finish strong,” says 21-year-old Allison.

Justin Allison started the race from the 8th position and was running in 7th when the car was just too loose to handle for the rookie driver. Allison spun on the backstretch, causing the first caution of the race. No contact was made and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion would come in for a change of four Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and track bar adjustments.
IMG_2649
Allison restarted 18th at the green flag, making up two spots in three laps. As the next caution came out on lap 21, Allison mentioned the car was still too loose to handle so Team BCR brought the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in for a track bar adjustment and fuel, sending Allison back out to 19th for the restart.

The changes to the Ford seemed to help, since Allison made up nine spots by lap 48, taking away the 10th position. A caution mid-way through the race gave the team another opportunity to pit considering the car was still too loose for Allison to finish strong. The team made a wedge and track bar adjustment, changed all four Hoosier tires and capped the No. 88 off with Sunoco fuel, sending him back out to 10th.

After making his way into the top-5 in the remainder of the race, Allison slipped back in the closing laps to hold on to the 8th position and earn another top-10 finish in his Chicagoland Speedway debut.

“We were loose all weekend, but we finally got the car right where we needed it during that last caution,” says Allison. “During the last few laps of the race, though, the car started to get really tight. The weekend could have gone better, but overall we did well and learned a lot this weekend. I have to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and everyone at Team BCR for their commitment this weekend.”

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

(Mooresville, NC – July 14, 2014) Following a career best finish of 3rd at Michigan Int’l Speedway, Justin Allison is set to make his Chicagoland Speedway debut for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 on July 19th.

“I’m really excited to get back in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford,” says 22-year-old Justin Allison. “We had a great run at Michigan so I know we’ll have a strong outing come Chicago. I’m hoping to not only keep the top-5 streak going, but finally get that first win out of the way.”

Allison’s 2014 part-time schedule includes all of the FOX Sports 1 televised races. He captured a top-10 finish at Toledo Speedway and then moved on to Pocono Raceway to earn a top-5 finish.

Allison commented, “I can’t thank Howard Bixman and Team BCR enough for giving me this opportunity to develop my skills in moving forward with my racing career this season. This team hxlargeas given me some really fast cars this year, which has given me some great finishes. Based on our recent races, I feel really confident going into Chicago. Without the support of my family and our marketing partners this season, this life long dream wouldn’t be a reality.”

Piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite, Allison will be making his 6th debut of the season.

Team Manager, Howard Bixman mentioned, “I’m very impressed with how well Justin is adapting in the ARCA Racing Series. Justin is one of the top up and coming young drivers in this series. He’s had strong finishes in the last three races he has competed in for Team BCR. It won’t be long before he’s in a position to score his first win. Chicago is a very fast and demanding track for drivers, but Justin’s strong drive to be competitive and his raw talent will shine this weekend.”

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

(Brooklyn, MI – June 15, 2014)  Rookie driver, Justin Allison earns his career best finish of 3rd in his Michigan debut on Friday. The finish marks his third career best finish this year after finishing 7th at Toledo and then 5th at Pocono.

“Once I got comfortable with the car in the first few laps of the race, the car was fast and I knew at that point we were going to have a car to beat,” says Allison.
IMG_2089
Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in 12th for the Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan Int’l Speedway.

Allison mentioned, “We were a little free in qualifying and I was a little conservative. I wasn’t sure what to expect during the race, but after five or 10 laps, the car handled really well.”

After starting 12th, the No. 88 Ford powered by RoushYates Engines, made its way up to the 4th position on lap 16. Allison posted faster lap times than the race leader, but lost too much track position to compete for the lead. Not until the leaders came onto pit road under green flag conditions, Allison would lead the race for three laps.

Team BCR called in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford under green flag conditions for a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, sending Allison back out to the 4th position.

The caution flag flew for the second time of the race on lap 75. Team BCR decided to keep the No. 88 out, but Allison would have to conserve as much fuel as possible. Once the green flag flew for the restart, Allison had one eye on the fuel pressure gauge and the other on the leader, leaving him to finish the race in the 3rd position.

“I have to thank Team BCR and Howard Bixman for giving me another great car,” says Allison. “We have led laps and have been very competitive the last three races. Now it’s time to lead the last lap for our first win. I also have to thank HaVACo along with Rush Racing Products for giving me the opportunity to carry on the family legacy.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison plan to enter in the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 19.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

(Long Pond, PA – June 8, 2014)  What seemed like an exciting career best finish was disappointing for the rookie who had some of the fastest lap times throughout the weekend. Justin Allison, who had never even seen Pocono Raceway in person, made his debut on Saturday, where he earned a 5th place finish with Team BCR.

Driving the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion, Allison posted the fastest lap time in Wednesday’s afternoon testing session.
IMG_1908
“It was just a matter of me getting comfortable with the car,” says Allison. “Our car was good the first day of testing, even on old tires. All I needed after that was just to get comfortable with the track and the car. The track is so much different from any other track because it’s so difficult to stay in the same rhythm every lap.”

Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd and found his way right behind the #22 car up until lap 27, when he finally made his way around and up into the 2nd position. The No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines was posting faster lap times than the leader but lost the track position to compete for the lead early in the race.

Team BCR brought Allison in twice during the Pocono ARCA 200, with the first stop being a fuel-only stop and the second for a change of Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and adjustments. When Allison tried to exit the second stop, he found himself caught in the fourth gear. This made the restarts incredibly difficult and Allison would slowly back drop to 10th but managed to gain track position in the last ten laps to earn a career best top-5 finish.

Allison said, “I’m a little disappointed considering we should have won this in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford. Howard Bixman and Team BCR put together one of the best cars in the field, but we just had a gear issue. I learned a lot at Pocono and even got to lead a few laps of the race. I’m looking forward to coming back in August in order to compete for a win. I can’t thank HaVACoSales.com for their support this year.”

Howard Bixman, Team Manager and Crew Chief said, “Justin impressed me with how fast he adopted to this difficult track. He is one of the most talented young drivers in this series.  If we wouldn’t have had the problem at the end, I think we could have definitely had a win from him. All in all, we had a great weekend topping the leader board during testing, a strong 3rd place qualifying effort and the highest finishing rookie of the race. I’m sure Justin will take this confidence and momentum into next weekend’s Michigan race.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

Pre-Race Report
Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

(Mooresville, NC – June 3, 2014)  Justin Allison is set to make his Pocono Raceway debut this weekend piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. In preparation for his debut, he’ll be testing at the Tricky Triangle on Wednesday, June 4.

Season Recap: Allison will make his fourth start of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Pocono Raceway. His first two starts being at Daytona and Talladega. Allison then earned his career best finish at Toledo Speedway two weeks ago, finishing in 7th.
xlarge
Family History at the Tricky Triangle: Justin’s Great Uncle, Bobby Allison holds the most consecutive Pocono wins in NASCAR to this day. He won both Pocono races in 1982, then the spring race in 1983.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Meet Justin: Justin will be signing autographs on Saturday morning with other ARCA Racing Series drivers from 9:45-10:15am in the autograph area outside the track. He’ll also be signing at the Realtree Trailer throughout the weekend. Go to Justin’s Fan Facebook Page for updates throughout the weekend!

Team Manager / Crew Chief, Howard Bixman: “I’m impressed with how well Justin has adjusted to these cars, he did a great job at Toledo two weeks ago. He gave us great feedback all weekend and finished in the top-10 for his first ARCA short track race. We will be testing on Wednesday before the race and there’s a lot for Justin to learn at this difficult track. We’ve been working hard in the shop to get the No. 88 Ford ready and I’m expecting to have a strong outing.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

How are you preparing for the Tricky Triangle considering you’ve never been there and there’s so many different corners to learn?

“There really is no way to prepare myself for this type of track other than figuring it out myself. I’ve heard how fun and exciting it can be, but I also know there’s a lot to learn to be competitive. I don’t do any sort of simulator racing or watch videos like some drivers may. I think it’s best to just feel the track out myself. Howard and the team will give me a great car and the open test day will give me extra laps throughout the week.”

Being that your family has an extensive history at Pocono, with Bobby winning three races but also ending his career at the track, do you feel this factors into how you will perform?

“I don’t think the Allison history will have any factor into how we’ll perform at Pocono. Every track you to go to, there’s a risk you’re taking. It’s always helpful to know someone else who has the experience at the particular track, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to perform just like that. We’re in totally different equipment and with a winning team.”

Tune into the Race: The Pocono ARCA 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday, June 7 at 1pm ET. Practice for the race will take place on Friday, June 7 from 10-11:50am. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin on Friday at 2:30pm ET.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

(Toledo, OH – May 19, 2014)  Justin Allison in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion earned his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards top-10 finish in the Menards 200 yesterday at Toledo Speedway.

Allison began the race in the 10th position, gaining two positions by lap 51, where the caution flag flew. A majority of the field came in to pit, but Crew Chief Howard Bixman decided it was too early in the race to come in. Justin became the race leader and continued to run in the top-10.

Once the second caution flag flew, Bixman called the No. 88 Ford in for a change of four tires, cap off the fuel and some minor adjustments. Allison would stay in the top-10 until coming in for a final pit stop on lap 130, sending him back out to 13th. In those last laps, Allison made up the positions, to earn a 7th place finish.

“Overall, this was a great day for the No. 88 HaVACo Ford and Team BCR,” says Allison. “Howard made a great call on pit strategy to give us tires when nobody had any left towards the end of the race. I learned a few things towards the end of the race that I wish I would have picked up earlier on. I have to thank Howard for all the effort that is put into this program and the crew for putting together a great car.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman commented on Justin’s performance, “Wow, I’m really impressed with Justin today. He did a great job all day and showed he has the talent to be a contender. We had a goal to qualify and finish in the top-10, and we accomplished that. I think Justin learned a lot from the race today, and it will help as he progresses throughout the season.”

Allison’s next race on schedule is the Pocono ARCA 200 on June 7. The race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 1pm ET.

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

(Mooresville, NC – May 13, 2014) Having only speedway ARCA experience from Kansas, Daytona and Talladega, Justin Allison will make his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards short track debut at Toledo Speedway this weekend. Allison will pilot the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Team BCR Racing.

Although this is Justin’s first ARCA short track race, running on short tracks is certainly nothing new. Allison started his racing career in the Allison Legacy Series in 2006, where the series’ schedule consists of mainly short tracks. From 2007-2010, he won five races in the series. He then continued to dominate as he won the Allison Legacy Series Championship in 2011, winning 7 races and finishing top-5, 20 times in 21 races. From 2012-2013, Allison ran select PASS Super Late Model races.

“All of my racing experience comes from short track racing,” says Allison. “I’m looking forward to going to Toledo. We have a winning short track program at Team BCR, and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford should be strong.”

Allison tested the No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines at South Boston Speedway yesterday in preparation for the Menards 200.

Allison added, “Testing at South Boston Speedway gave me the extra confidence I needed. Short tracks are definitely more in my comfort zone. Howard Bixman and the crew gave me a great car, and I learned a great deal throughout the day. I know there’s room for improvement and a tremendous amount I need to learn moving forward. I’m really excited to see what the weekend holds for our #88 team.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did an outstanding job at the test yesterday. Once we had our base line, he turned competitive laps and I can tell he feels very comfortable at a short track. We worked on all kinds of scenarios at the test from short runs, long runs and restarts. His feedback was excellent and he’s going to have one competitive car at Toledo.”

The HaVACo Souvenir Trailer will be at Toledo Speedway with all of Justin Allison’s “Continuing the Legacy” apparel including hats, shirts and more. Stop by if you’re at the track!

The Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18.  Two practice sessions will take place on Saturday, from 11:45am-12:30pm and 1-1:45pm. Menards Pole Qualifying is set to start on Saturday at 3:30pm.

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

(Mooresville, NC – May 7, 2014)  As the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison (members of the original Alabama Gang), Justin Allison hopes to carry on the family legacy as he advances in his racing career. Allison will attempt to make this dream become a reality with the help from Team BCR teammate, Grant Enfinger, an Alabama native. Together, they could become the new “Alabama Gang.”
10268409_692678637460079_5007116616195435945_n
Allison has made only two starts in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion. With only speedway experience under his belt from Kansas in 2013, and Daytona and Talladega in 2014, the ARCA rookie will make his ARCA short track debut at Toledo Speedway.

“This is where the ‘real racing’ will happen,” says Allison. “Racing at these speedways, such as Daytona and Talladega, has a tremendous amount of variables.  At the short tracks, you not only have to bring a fast car, but have the talent as a driver. Howard Bixman and Team BCR has a proven winning short track program. I think we’ll be a threat to our competition in Toledo since short track racing is what I grew up on and have the most experience with.”

Allison’s teammate at Team BCR, Grant Enfinger in the No. 90 Motor Honey/Casite – Triple K Construction Ford, started off the year in victory lane. Not just once, or twice, but three times! And then remained to dominate as he earned his second-career pole award at Talladega Superspeedway.
-74a3d490cda5aa24
Enfinger raced Schrader door to door in last season’s Toledo race, until cutting a tire down, with just a few laps left of the race. Fairhope, AL’s driver will make his fifth start of the season as the current points leader for the 2014 ARCA Racing Series Championship with Team BCR.

Enfinger said, “Toledo’s a really good track to race at. We were very competitive last year and we’re bringing that same car back with us. We’ve made improvements, and I think we’re going to be even better than we were.”

The Menards 200 presented by Federated Auto Parts at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18, 2014.

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

(Lincoln, AL – May 5, 2014)  Alabama’s Justin Allison made his ARCA Talladega debut on Saturday, where luck was not on his side. The rookie driver blew two tires throughout the race, leaving him to finish in 19th.

Justin Allison, who is the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison, was honored to attend the Alabama Gang Superstretch unveiling on Wednesday, April 30. The track named the backstretch in honor of Donnie Allison, Bobby Allison, Davey Allison and Red Farmer (the original Alabama Gang). Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger (who is also from Alabama), attended the event as special guests and the new generation of Alabama racers.

“I grew up hearing all the stories about the Alabama Gang,” says Justin Allison. “Growing up, I never thought of them as big racers. I just saw them as family, but they’re still my heroes. As I get older, I’m realizing this is a really big deal.”

After the unveiling, it was finally time for Allison to make his Talladega debut and to continue his family’s legacy. Allison started 25th for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines. He was gaining positions in the first half of the race until a tire cut down, sending him into Clay Campbell in the #52 car.

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman called Allison in to fix the damages and sent him back out. Allison could feel a vibration in the car as he made his first lap around, realizing the fender was rubbing against the tire, which cut down another tire. Bixman brought the No. 88 Ford down pit road several more times for repairs. The crew did major repairs to the right side of the HaVACo Ford, while keeping Justin from losing any more positions. Allison fought hard to the end where he finished 19th.

“It’s disappointing our day ended like this,” says Justin Allison. “We had faster lap times than the leaders for a majority of the race, but we couldn’t make up the spots lost. With the green flag pit stops, the field was too spread out. I have to thank my Crew Chief, Howard Bixman and my crew for doing a good job on pit road and building a fast car. I also have to thank my Grandpa, Donnie, for pushing me through the entire race to the end. This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without the support of Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products.”

The next race on Allison’s schedule is Toledo Speedway on May 18 where the race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET.

Allison said, “Now it’s time to go ‘real’ racing at Toledo Speedway. I love short track racing and that’s where my strong suit is. Team BCR has a strong short track program, and we should be a threat there in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford. ”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job at Talladega this week dealing with a lot of damages. I’m proud of him for keeping focused and finishing strong after all the unfortunate events. Justin has that Allison blood in him and you can tell he is a very talented driver. He provided great feedback and his knowledge of the car is remarkable. Donnie has been his mentor throughout his racing career, and it shows.”

Team BCR Racing and Justin Allison Plan to Carry Family’s Talladega Legacy

(Mooresville, NC – April 29, 2014)  Justin Allison will have all eyes on him this weekend as he makes his Talladega ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards debut with Team BCR Racing in the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion.

Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison and nephew of Bobby Allison, who were the original members of the Alabama Gang. Donnie has won two races at the 2.5-mile track while Bobby has won four.
Daytona
“There’s a lot of family history at this track and a lot to live up to,” says Justin Allison. “It’s always been a dream of mine to race at Talladega Superspeedway. Not only do we have a lot of fans in Alabama, but we have a lot of family and friends there to support all of us for many decades.”

The ARCA Racing Series has made changes to the qualifying procedures for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200. Instead of doing a single car, two-lap qualifying run, the drivers will be placed into groups based on practice times.

“We’re really hoping my teammate, Grant Enfinger, and I will be able to help each other during qualifying and then the race,” says Allison. “We wanted to work together at Daytona, but since our chances ended early, we weren’t able to do so. It’s very beneficial to have a strong teammate at a superspeedway.”

Allison also tested the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines at Talladega two weeks ago, where he posted top-5 lap times on the second day of testing.

Allison said, “Howard Bixman [Crew Chief] and the rest of the guys at Team BCR have put together a great car for me so I feel confident going into this. Team BCR is the 2014 Daytona Champion, and our goal is nothing short of winning this. I’d like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Carwash and Randy Jones Nationwide Insurance for the support and faith in me to do this.”
Donnie/Justin
Crew Chief, Howard Bixman is confident in Justin’s capabilities at Talladega, “The test went very well with Justin. He’s never competed at Talladega and he did a great job. Donnie Allison spotted for Justin during the test, giving him great advice. Justin is a natural and a very talented driver. With his teammate Grant Enfinger, from Alabama as well, we may have the ‘New Alabama Gang.’ I’m really excited for him and his family to continue this legacy.”

Justin will make various appearances throughout the week. One of the events he will attend is on Friday, May 2 at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for the Race Fever event. The annual event benefits the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger, will do an on-stage interview at 5pm and then sign autographs for the children of the institute as well as other attendees of the event. Come by if you’re in the area!

Justin will also be at Talladega Superspeedway in the Sprint Fan Zone prior to the Sprint Cup Race. He will be at the Realtree trailer both Saturday and Sunday, times posted at the trailer. On Sunday, he will be in the grandstands signing autographs from 9-11am.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 11am ET on Saturday, May 3. Practice takes place on Friday, May 2 from 9-11am CT. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin at 3:30pm CT. Stay connected during practice and qualifying by going to www.arcaracing.com or by liking Team BCR or Justin’s Facebook Page.

(Mooresville, NC – April 14, 2014) In preparation for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 at Talladega Superspeedway, Justin Allison and Team BCR will attend the open test on April 16 and 17 in the #88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines.

I would like to thank Havacosales.com, Rush Racing Products and all our partners that have supported us.”

“Justin has shown us he has a tremendous amount of talent,” commented Crew Chief, Howard Bixman. “Daytona was disappointing for the #88 team, but Justin has adapted very well with our program. With that being said, we’re all looking forward to Talladega. The entire Allison family is very excited as well that Justin is carrying on the Allison Legacy at Talladega.”

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 is set to take place on Saturday, May 3 at 10am. The race will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1.

Tough Luck for Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing at Daytona

(Daytona Beach, FL – February 17, 2014)  Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing had a strong car, qualifying 12th for the Lucas Oil 200, but due to a 15-car wreck early in the race, their day ended early.

Allison tested at Daytona back in December with over 70 drivers and posted the 3rdfastest lap time throughout the entire weekend. Set to make his Daytona debut, the rookie driver drove the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford up into the 9th position respectively by lap 12 of the race.

Just 13 laps in, the race spiraled out of control when the No. 99 and No. 9 cars triggered a multiple car wreck. Allison quickly turned the wheel in order to avoid the wreck and would have been clear until the No. 66 hit the nose of Allison’s No. 88Havacosales.com Ford Fusion.

“It’s a shame our day had to end like this,” says 21-year-old driver, Justin Allison. “The Team BCR crew and I have been putting a lot of effort into making this car capable of a win. Howard gave me a great car that had the ability to finish well here but I guess it wasn’t in our cards today. I’m thankful I was given the chance to come here and make my Daytona debut with the support from HaVACo and Team BCR.”

Allison also mentioned, “I’d like to congratulate my teammate, Grant Enfinger, on winning the race. The team along with Grant and I work on our cars together at the shop so it’s rewarding to see our hard work paid off.”

Allison and Team BCR hope to bring the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion to Mobile International Speedway on March 22.

Team Manager and Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “It’s too bad this happened for Justin and the team. A lot of dedication and effort went into Justin’s car. He ran in the top ten and proved throughout speed weeks, he has the ability to be a winner in this series. I‘d like to thank HaVACo for their support. Now it’s just time to focus on the next race on our schedule, so we can have a strong finish Justin is more than capable of.”

Justin Allison to make Daytona Debut with Team BCR: Pre-Race Report

(Mooresville, NC – February 10, 2014) On the journey to carry his family’s legacy, Justin Allison will make his Daytona debut with Team BCR Racing in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion.

Family Legacy: Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison, who won the Firecracker 400 at Daytona International Speedway and a 125-mile qualifying race for the Daytona 500 in his career. His uncle Bobby Allison, a former Winston Cup Champion, has won six races at Daytona International Speedway.

Rookie Status: Where short track racing is the norm for the rookie driver, Daytona International Speedway will be the largest track Allison has ever driven on. Justin made his ARCA Racing Series debut with Team BCR at Kansas Speedway’s mile and a half track in 2013. Justin along with the rest of the staff at Team BCR believed he had the potential to take home a top-5 finish at Kansas, but finished up in 11th after a rain-shortened race.

Justin attended the ARCA Daytona test in December, finishing up 3rd overall on the weekend’s speed charts.

History on the Driver: Justin won the 2010 Legacy Racing Series Championship, finishing in the top-5 in 20 out of 21 races. He then ran selected races in the PASS Super Late Model Series and the Allison Legacy Series until 2013 when he made his ARCA debut with Team BCR Racing and Development Team.

Q & A with Justin Allison

What were your thoughts going out on the track the very first time at Daytona?

“I was terrified leaving the pits and I did not know what to expect. Of course, I’ve been given plenty of advice from my grandfather [Donnie Allison] along with my teammate Grant Enfinger but you don’t fully know what to expect until you’re out there doing it yourself. Once I got going, though, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. My Crew Chief Howard Bixman gave me a great car as the speed charts showed.”

What sort of advice has your grandfather given you and what will you take from that going into the race?

“My grandfather gave me advice in drafting and in single car runs. At this point in my career, all the advice I can get is very helpful. I have a great teammate, Grant Enfinger and a veteran Crew Chief, Howard Bixman to rely on as well.”

Meet Justin Allison: If you’re in the Daytona area, stop by the Daytona Racing Souvenirs and Hobbies Store on Friday February 14 from 6-7pm.

11th place Finish for Justin Allison’s First ARCA Start

(Kansas City, KS – Oct. 7, 2013) Justin Allison came home with a solid 11th place finish in his first-ever ARCA Racing Series event, the rain-shortened Kansas Lottery 98.9 which was run on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Kansas Speedway.Originally scheduled for 99 laps, ARCA and track officials shortened the race by 34 laps for safety reasons due to the rain and threatening weather in the area.

Allison qualified 11th in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines, and once the green flag flew, he was able to maneuver through the field and make his way as high as 6th at one point.

Several cautions slowed the race allowing Crew Chief Howard Bixman plenty of chances to boost Allison’s confidence as much as possible. At one point, Bixman told him over the radio, “You’re doing a great job out there. Many drivers are out there to gain Championship points so they’re driving aggressively. Just stay smart and stick to our game plan, and you’ll be in great shape.”Bixman made the call to bring in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion during a caution on lap 35 for four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, but made no adjustments. While Allison was making his way down pit road, Bixman then decided to bring him back down pit road again for fuel only before the green flag flew, and this gave the No. 88 enough gas to make it to end.

With a possible tornado in the area, ARCA officials felt it was best to clear the grandstands, so they announced on lap 55 that the race would end in 10 laps. At that time, Allison was in 16th and had to make up as much as ground as possible in the short time available, and he was able to climb to 11th.“We had a top 5 car here for sure,” Allison said. “I hate to see the race end so early when we were the first car with fresh tires and enough fuel to make it to the checkered flag. This was a great start to my ARCA racing career, and I look forward to working with Team BCR and Howard in the future. I’d like to thank the HaVACo group for coming out to watch the race, and I would like to thank the rest of my marketing partners for being a part of my debut; Rush Racing Products, Rick and Bubba Sausage produced by Polk’s Meat and Husky Liners. I greatly appreciate it.”

Bixman was equally thrilled with the results.

“Justin has some amazing driving talents, and I can already tell the family legacy will continue to live on,” Bixman said. “Justin has given me a lot to look forward to, and I can’t wait to work with him even more in the future. If the race wasn’t shortened, I have no doubts Justin would have came home with a top 5 finish and possibly have been a contender for a win. He has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Justin Allison is grandson of NASCAR legend Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison. Donnie attended the race to support his grandson and could not be more proud of Justin’s first performance on a major racing circuit.

“I think Justin did a tremendous job being that it was his first race ever in this type of car on this big of a racetrack,” Donnie Allison said. “I think he showed everybody his abilities as a race car driver.”

Team BCR Racing and Development Team, located in Mooresville, N.C, has positioned itself to become a first-rate driver development team that seeks out talented drivers and provides them with a quality equipment with the goal of grooming them for successful entry into NASCAR various racing series.

Justin Allison Announces Marketing Partners for Kansas Debut

(Mooresville, NC – Oct. 3, 2013)  When he makes his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards debut this Friday at Kansas Speedway, Justin Allison will be proud to have these marketing partners along for the ride.

The primary marketing partner on the No. 88 Ford Fusion is HaVACo Technologies Inc. while Rush Racing Products, Husky Liners and Rick and Bubba’s Smoked Sausage, produced by Polk’s Meat Products will be on board as associate marketing partners.

HaVACo, and its exclusive sales and marketing arm DuraTite Systems LLC, is a brand new company based in Erie, Penn., that manufacturers HVAC components out of plastic instead of tin and aluminum for sale to home builders, contractors and distributors.

“I am very excited to be associated with the Allisons and the reputation and good will that goes along with them,” HaVACo President Joe Prischak said. “I am very happy to have them help me promote our products, and I’m looking forward to a great relationship to come. I know Justin is going to do real well, and I believe this will be the start of something really good for many, many years to come for HaVACo and for race fans across the country.

Rush Racing Products has been Justin’s primary sponsor throughout the year on the Pro All-Star Series circuit and President Lou Pringle is thrilled that his company is taking the next step right along with Justin.

“This is extremely exciting,” Pringle said. “This young man has worked hard and now he is going to fulfill his dream. I am always excited when I see a young man that’s as hard working as Justin to accomplish his dreams. It’s a family thing for the Allisons that’s great to see, and it’s something generations of race fans are excited to see as well I’m sure.”

From the Rick and Bubba Show, Rick is very pleased to announce the partnership, “The Rick and Bubba Show is honored to have our brand associated with the legendary Allison name. It is truly an honor,” says Rick Burgess.

Justin Allison, grandson of legendary NASCAR driver Donnie Allison and nephew of NASCAR driver Bobby Allison, is looking to carry on the Allison family legacy. Allison successfully tested at Nashville Superspeedway on Monday to receive approval for his Kansas debut on Friday. He is excited to make his ARCA Racing Series debut with these partners.

“Testing at Nashville earlier this week went great with Team BCR,” Justin said. “(Crew Chief) Howard Bixman provided me with a great car. The test has given me the confidence I need for Kansas. Rush Racing Products has been a big part of my racing career, partnering with me in the PASS Super Late Model SOUTH Series for the 2013 season. I’m grateful they want to move forward and be a part of my ARCA debut. I would also like to thank HaVACo, Husky Liners and Rick and Bubba’s Smoked Sausage, produced by Polk’s Meat for stepping forward and making this all possible!”

Team BCR’s marketing partners Casite, Stanley Industries, RoushYates Engines, RoushYates Performance Parts, Ford Racing and Motorsports Rehabilitation Foundation will also be associated with Allison.

2012 News

June 30, 2012 –  Southern National – After qualifying 7th and running in the top five most of the night, Justin was involved in a wreck on lap 87 of the 125 lapper that took him out of the race with front end damage.
June 29, 2012 8:15pm – While Justin turned some really fast laps in practice today, the temperature soared to 107 degrees and much higher than that on the track. Temperatures for tomorrow are forcasted to be even hotter.
June 29, 2012- Justin is at Southern National Raceway Park practicing today for the 125 lap Super Late Model race tomorrow, Saturday June 30th. The track is a 4/10 mile located in Kenly, NC.  He was at the dyno yesterday and things went well so he is hoping for a good qualifying run and finish.  There has been a good field of cars at Kenly since the track reopened earlier this year and Justin will have some fierce competition.  Tomorrow the pit gate opens at 11:00am with practice at 2:00pm and qualifying at 5:00pm.  The green flag drops at 7:00pm.  Good Luck Justin!
May 26, 2012-Concord Motor Speedway CV Products 125- Justin started 20th and made his way up to the 10th spot by lap 10 of the race.  He avoided a major wreck and then was coming up on 6th place when he tapped the wall while running outside of Jay Fogleman.  He ran several more laps but the car had some minor damage that affected the handling so he had to park the car and finished in 19th place.
May 11, 2012-Wake County Speedway- Justin ran fast times in practice, qualified 13th and finished in the 10th spot in the 125 lapper…bringing the car home in one piece in the P.A.S.S. Super Late Model race at the 1/4 bullring track near Raleigh, NC.
4/21/2012 … “Orange County Speedway” … Justin Allison finally got to run his Ford Fusion “Grillin’ Sauce” #1 car at the “Pass 150” lap race at Orange County Speedway on Saturday night.  Just like the other races we have attempted, he ran really good in practice but our crate motor just won’t make the speed to qualify.  Justin started 22 out of the 26 cars there and it didn’t take but about fifteen laps for him to get in the top 15. He was patient all night as he worked his way into the top 10.  Justin did an excellent job of managing his tires, as the race was 150 green flag laps, and Justin was sitting in 9th place on the last restart with 30 laps to go.  With some awsome racing, as the laps were winding down, Justin moved into 7th place. He had his sights set on moving up, until interference with a lap car cost him too much ground on the track to make up in the short number of laps remaining, so Justin had to settle for a 7th place finish. 

The race “felt like a victory for him and the effort of his whole team”.  It was a great confidence booster for Justin after running so good in practice at the other events, but not being able to qaulify. The next race will be at Wake County Speedway on May 11th for the Pass 125 lapper.  As it looks right now, we may have our new engine for that event from Doug Yates and all the great guys at RoushYates Engines. We really look forward to competing in the remainder of the “Pass South” Super Late Model races, but right now we are taking them one at a time depending on sponsorship.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best Kansas Finish In Team Debut

(KANSAS CITY, Kan. – October 6, 2014) – After starting 33rd and avoiding all of the chaos, Justin Allison drove the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion to a solid ninth place finish in the ARCA 98.9 at Kansas Speedway on Friday, Oct. 3, during the final ARCA Racing Series event of the 2014 season.

The effort marks Allison’s best finish at Kansas Speedway. He made his series debut at the speedway last year where he finished 11th. Friday night’s finish is also Justin’s seventh top-10 of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.

“To come back to Kansas and finish ninth as a car owner is just an awesome feeling,” Allison said. “My team and I worked so hard and put this car together at the very last minute. I just couldn’t be any more proud of everyone on the team. I’d like to thank HAVACO Technologies, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley 3 Minute Car Wash, Collins Engineering and everyone else who made it possible.”

With Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell being canceled due to rain and shuffling of the schedule, Allison started in the 33rd position. The starting lineup was set by owner points and since this weekend’s entry was the debut of Justin Allison Racing, there were no previous points. However, it didn’t take long for Allison to make his way through the field. By lap five, Justin had made his way to 20th, and by lap 35, he was knocking on the door of the top-10 as he moved into the 14th position.

“I knew we had a fast car,” Allison said. “We were mid-pack during practice so I knew we’d move through the field fairly quickly during the race. When starting in the back, you just have to be patient and keep out of trouble, and that’s what we did.”

After a series of two cautions, the first coming out on lap 45 and the second on lap 59, Justin had made his way closer to the top-10. On a restart with only 28 laps to go, Allison restarted 13th, but by the time the field entered turns three and four, all chaos broke loose as drivers upfront began to crash. Allison maneuvered through all of the carnage and entered the top-10. In the end, Allison kept his nose clean and captured a ninth place finish.

“The last half of the race was wild,” Allison said. “On the next to the last restart as we were rounding turns three and four, all I saw were cars sliding in every direction. I tried my best to slow down as much as possible, but when you do that, there’s a chance you’ll get hit from behind. I went up towards the wall and was able to miss everything.”
The 2014 ARCA Racing Series season was quite a success for the 22-year old from Salisbury, N.C. In only 10 starts, Justin captured one win, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

“I just want to thank my family, sponsors and everyone else who made this season a success,” Allison said. “To finish out my first season in ARCA with a win and seven top-10 finishes is just unreal. I’m very humbled to have had the opportunity to compete. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life. Hopefully the momentum will carry on towards next season.”

As for 2015, the future is unknown, but Justin hopes to continue to compete in the ARCA Racing Series. To keep up with all of the latest Justin Allison Racing news, visit www.JustinAllisonRacing.com, like Justin Allison (Official Fan Page) on Facebook and follow @justinclay88 on Twitter.

This time around at Kansas Speedway, Allison will compete in the No. 08 HAVACO Sales/Rush Racing Products/ Collins Engineering Ford Fusion, a car that not only displays his name above the door, but he’s also listed as the car owner. Justin, along with his father, Kenny Allison have pieced together the car in their own shop in Salisbury, N.C. With decades of experience building cars and competing on the highest level, the Justin Allison Racing team will be stronger than ever as they enter the race weekend.

“I can’t wait to hit the track on Friday,” Allison said. “My team and I have worked tirelessly to get this car ready for the long trip out to the Midwest, and I’m just ready to see where we stack up. It’s a really humbling experience to have this opportunity, and I just can’t thank everyone enough for all of the hard work put into this effort.”

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

Team BCR’s Justin Allison Fights Back for 7th Place Finish at Kentucky Speedway

(Sparta, KY – September 21, 2014)   After starting 9th in the ZLOOP 150 at Kentucky Speedway, Justin Allison fought hard throughout the 100 laps to capture his 6th top-10 finish of the season in 7th place.

“We were a little aero tight when we were running with traffic, but overall the car felt great,” says Justin Allison. “We lost track position on our pit stop, but we definitely made a ton of gains throughout the race, making our way up to 4th at one point.”

After qualifying for the ZLOOP 150 in the 9th position, Allison maintained his position in the top-10 through the first half of the race. On lap 25, the caution flag flew; giving Team BCR the option to come into pit, but the team chose to stay out. Some of the cars on the lead lap chose to pit, giving Allison the chance to start 5th at the restart. Once the green flag flew again, Allison, in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion made his way up to 4th during a few laps.

When the second caution flag flew for debris on lap 45, where Allison was 7th at the time, the car was still a little tight. Crew Chief, Teddy Brown and the crew serviced the car for a wedge adjustment, air pressure adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco Fuel. When the pit crew went to change tires on the left side of the No. 88 HaVACo Ford, they had difficulties getting the car jacked up, which resulted in several lost positions.

Allison would be forced to restart 16th at the green flag on lap 52. During the last half of the race, Allison fought hard to gain back track position, finishing 7th.

“All in all, we were top-10 all day yesterday during practice and qualifying, but during the race I knew we would have easily been top-5,” says Allison. “Howard Bixman and the crew at Team BCR made sure I had one of the best cars out there as always and I can’t thank them for their commitment and hard work this week. I’d also like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Casite, Stanley Industries and Tornado Alley Car Wash for their continued support.”

Justin Allison Earns Career First ARCA Win with Team BCR

Justin Allison Earns Career First ARCA Win with Team BCR

(Long Pond, PA – August 2, 2014)  Strategy and talent came into play yesterday at Pocono Raceway when Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison earned his career first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards win.

“We made the right call by coming into pit when we did,” says Justin Allison, who is the first Allison to visit victory lane since 1993 when Davey Allison won at Richmond. “I’m at a loss for words. I know we had a good car, just a little bit tight, but we made the right calls. I can’t thank everyone enough, HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and Team BCR.”

Allison had a car to contend for a win with on Thursday’s “Tricky Triangle” practice session, when he posted the second fastest lap time of the day. He then qualified for the Modspace 125 in 5th.

Rainy weather just minutes before driver’s introductions pushed the start time of the Modspace 125 an hour back. With more dark clouds in the distance, all teams knew strategy was going to be key to winning the race if rain were to persist.

Allison, 22, was running 4th through the first two cautions of the race. On lap 18, Crew Chief Teddy Brown and Team Manager Howard Bixman, made the call to bring in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion seeing that the weather was clearing up and they would more than likely see all 50 laps that night. Team BCR’s crew just topped the No. 88 off with fuel and sent Allison back out to restart 17th.

This was no problem for Allison, who made his way into the top-10 on lap 25. On lap 36, he ran into lap traffic and Will Kimmel in the No. 69 car, which was the only other car that had already taken a pit stop in front of him. Justin took the low line and squeezed by all four cars to take away the 4th position. At this point, all three leaders in front of Allison still needed to pit. Once this happened, Allison would take the lead for the remaining 11 laps and earn his first ARCA Racing Series win in his career.

“Will (Kimmel) was trying to make ground on us at the end, but we had them in turn 3,” says Allison. “I don’t know what it is about this track, but I love driving here. Yes, it’s a 2.5-mile track, but you have to drive it like a short track and take each corner at a time.”

Team Manager, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job in the spring race and for him to win this is not only big for him, but the entire Allison family. This really shows how strong Team BCR is. This is our fifth win of the season and this time in the No. 88 car. The guys have been working hard at the shop and at the track. I can’t thank everyone enough for their help this weekend. It’s rare to see a driver pick up on this track as quickly as Justin has. He has a very bright future ahead.”

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

Justin Allison’s day ends early at Lucas Oil Raceway

(Indianapolis, IN – July 28, 2014) Electrical issues ended Justin Allison’s night early at Lucas Oil Raceway in the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

“I couldn’t quite get comfortable with the track until the end of the second practice session,” says Allison. “The car felt great during practice, it just took me some time to learn the track and get use to it. We finally had a great run during qualifying and I was looking forward to a strong finish during the race.”

Allison posted the 5th fastest lap time during Menard’s Pole Qualifying. As the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200 progressed, Allison kept inside the top-10. When the first caution came out, Crew Chief Teddy Brown made the call for a track bar adjustment, a change of four Hoosier tires and to cap the No. 88 HaVACo Ford with Sunoco fuel, sending Allison out to 6th for the restart.

Allison maintained his position up until the second caution of the race. A few of the cars on the lead lap took tires while Allison stayed out to keep track position.

The third caution flew on lap 160 of 200 and the leader was involved in a crash. Brown once again brought the No. 88 Ford Fusion down pit road so the crew could service the car with four tires and make a track bar adjustment.

Allison lined up for the remaining laps. Once the green flag flew, the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford made contact with the wall entering turn 1. With right side damage, the rookie would maintain the ninth position up until lap 197 when the No. 88 Ford starting backing down. Team BCR thought the car was out of fuel until realizing there were electrical issues. Allison finished the race in 13th, ending his top-10 streak.

“We were tight off and on throughout the race,” says Allison. “The car was strong all day and I was able to learn a lot from this track. Howard (Bixman) gave me advice all day, which helped me gain my confidence and improve our performance. I want to thank Team BCR for giving me a good car and we appreciate the support from our partners, Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products. I’m really excited to get back to Pocono, since we ran really well there in June.”

Another Debut for Rookie Driver Justin Allison

Pre-Race Report
Another Debut for Rookie Driver Justin Allison

(Mooresville, NC – July 23, 2014) Team BCR’s rookie driver, Justin Allison is still searching for that first win in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. Next on schedule, he will take his first look at Lucas Oil Raceway as he makes his debut on Friday, July 25 for the SCOTT Get Geared Up 200.

Season Recap: Justin Allison earned four consecutive top-10 finishes in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Toledo Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan Int’l Speedway and most recently at Chicagoland Speedway. His highest finishing race was at Michigan International Speedway when he earned an ARCA career best of 3rd.

Family History at Lucas Oil Raceway: In his racing career, Justin’s cousin Davey Allison won an ARCA Racing Series race at Lucas Oil Raceway back in 1985. Davey has an extensive NASCAR record, holding 19 NASCAR Winston Cup Series victories.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Q & A with Justin Allison

As you continue to search for that first win, how do you expect Lucas Oil to go?

With that said, I’ve never been to Lucas Oil Raceway, but I have a ton of short track experience. I expect us to be pretty good.

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

Team BCR’s Rookie Justin Allison Earns Fourth Straight Top-10 Finish

(Joliet, IL – July 21, 2014)  In his Chicagoland Speedway ARCA Racing Series debut, Justin Allison earns his fourth consecutive top-10 finish in last weekend’s race.

“We struggled a bit during the weekend but we definitely bounced back and made the changes we needed to finish strong,” says 21-year-old Allison.

Justin Allison started the race from the 8th position and was running in 7th when the car was just too loose to handle for the rookie driver. Allison spun on the backstretch, causing the first caution of the race. No contact was made and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion would come in for a change of four Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and track bar adjustments.
IMG_2649
Allison restarted 18th at the green flag, making up two spots in three laps. As the next caution came out on lap 21, Allison mentioned the car was still too loose to handle so Team BCR brought the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in for a track bar adjustment and fuel, sending Allison back out to 19th for the restart.

The changes to the Ford seemed to help, since Allison made up nine spots by lap 48, taking away the 10th position. A caution mid-way through the race gave the team another opportunity to pit considering the car was still too loose for Allison to finish strong. The team made a wedge and track bar adjustment, changed all four Hoosier tires and capped the No. 88 off with Sunoco fuel, sending him back out to 10th.

After making his way into the top-5 in the remainder of the race, Allison slipped back in the closing laps to hold on to the 8th position and earn another top-10 finish in his Chicagoland Speedway debut.

“We were loose all weekend, but we finally got the car right where we needed it during that last caution,” says Allison. “During the last few laps of the race, though, the car started to get really tight. The weekend could have gone better, but overall we did well and learned a lot this weekend. I have to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products and everyone at Team BCR for their commitment this weekend.”

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

Team BCR headed to the Windy City with Justin Allison to make Chicagoland debut

(Mooresville, NC – July 14, 2014) Following a career best finish of 3rd at Michigan Int’l Speedway, Justin Allison is set to make his Chicagoland Speedway debut for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 on July 19th.

“I’m really excited to get back in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford,” says 22-year-old Justin Allison. “We had a great run at Michigan so I know we’ll have a strong outing come Chicago. I’m hoping to not only keep the top-5 streak going, but finally get that first win out of the way.”

Allison’s 2014 part-time schedule includes all of the FOX Sports 1 televised races. He captured a top-10 finish at Toledo Speedway and then moved on to Pocono Raceway to earn a top-5 finish. He not only had a strong outing during the Pocono race, but also topped the leader boards during testing and qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd at the “Tricky Triangle.” Allison kept the streak of career best finishes going when he earned a 3rd place finish at Michigan Int’l Speedway in his most recent start.

Allison commented, “I can’t thank Howard Bixman and Team BCR enough for giving me this opportunity to develop my skills in moving forward with my racing career this season. This team hxlargeas given me some really fast cars this year, which has given me some great finishes. Based on our recent races, I feel really confident going into Chicago. Without the support of my family and our marketing partners this season, this life long dream wouldn’t be a reality.”

Piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite, Allison will be making his 6th debut of the season.

Team Manager, Howard Bixman mentioned, “I’m very impressed with how well Justin is adapting in the ARCA Racing Series. Justin is one of the top up and coming young drivers in this series. He’s had strong finishes in the last three races he has competed in for Team BCR. It won’t be long before he’s in a position to score his first win. Chicago is a very fast and demanding track for drivers, but Justin’s strong drive to be competitive and his raw talent will shine this weekend.”

The Ansell Activ Armr 150 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 2 on Saturday, July 19 at 5pm CT. ARCAracing.com will provide live timing and scoring of practice on Friday, July 18 from 3:30-5:20pm CT. Menard’s Pole Qualifying will take place on Saturday, July 19 at 1:30pm CT.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Third Straight Career Best Finish

(Brooklyn, MI – June 15, 2014)  Rookie driver, Justin Allison earns his career best finish of 3rd in his Michigan debut on Friday. The finish marks his third career best finish this year after finishing 7th at Toledo and then 5th at Pocono.

“Once I got comfortable with the car in the first few laps of the race, the car was fast and I knew at that point we were going to have a car to beat,” says Allison.
IMG_2089
Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in 12th for the Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan Int’l Speedway.

Allison mentioned, “We were a little free in qualifying and I was a little conservative. I wasn’t sure what to expect during the race, but after five or 10 laps, the car handled really well.”

After starting 12th, the No. 88 Ford powered by RoushYates Engines, made its way up to the 4th position on lap 16. Allison posted faster lap times than the race leader, but lost too much track position to compete for the lead. Not until the leaders came onto pit road under green flag conditions, Allison would lead the race for three laps.

Team BCR called in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford under green flag conditions for a change of four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, sending Allison back out to the 4th position.

The caution flag flew for the second time of the race on lap 75. Team BCR decided to keep the No. 88 out, but Allison would have to conserve as much fuel as possible. Once the green flag flew for the restart, Allison had one eye on the fuel pressure gauge and the other on the leader, leaving him to finish the race in the 3rd position.

“I have to thank Team BCR and Howard Bixman for giving me another great car,” says Allison. “We have led laps and have been very competitive the last three races. Now it’s time to lead the last lap for our first win. I also have to thank HaVACo along with Rush Racing Products for giving me the opportunity to carry on the family legacy.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison plan to enter in the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 19.

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

Team BCR Rookie Driver Justin Allison Earns Top-5 Finish at Tricky Triangle

(Long Pond, PA – June 8, 2014)  What seemed like an exciting career best finish was disappointing for the rookie who had some of the fastest lap times throughout the weekend. Justin Allison, who had never even seen Pocono Raceway in person, made his debut on Saturday, where he earned a 5th place finish with Team BCR.

Driving the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion, Allison posted the fastest lap time in Wednesday’s afternoon testing session.
IMG_1908
“It was just a matter of me getting comfortable with the car,” says Allison. “Our car was good the first day of testing, even on old tires. All I needed after that was just to get comfortable with the track and the car. The track is so much different from any other track because it’s so difficult to stay in the same rhythm every lap.”

Allison qualified the No. 88 HaVACo Ford in 3rd and found his way right behind the #22 car up until lap 27, when he finally made his way around and up into the 2nd position. The No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines was posting faster lap times than the leader but lost the track position to compete for the lead early in the race.

Team BCR brought Allison in twice during the Pocono ARCA 200, with the first stop being a fuel-only stop and the second for a change of Hoosier tires, Sunoco fuel and adjustments. When Allison tried to exit the second stop, he found himself caught in the fourth gear. This made the restarts incredibly difficult and Allison would slowly back drop to 10th but managed to gain track position in the last ten laps to earn a career best top-5 finish.

Allison said, “I’m a little disappointed considering we should have won this in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford. Howard Bixman and Team BCR put together one of the best cars in the field, but we just had a gear issue. I learned a lot at Pocono and even got to lead a few laps of the race. I’m looking forward to coming back in August in order to compete for a win. I can’t thank HaVACoSales.com for their support this year.”

Howard Bixman, Team Manager and Crew Chief said, “Justin impressed me with how fast he adopted to this difficult track. He is one of the most talented young drivers in this series.  If we wouldn’t have had the problem at the end, I think we could have definitely had a win from him. All in all, we had a great weekend topping the leader board during testing, a strong 3rd place qualifying effort and the highest finishing rookie of the race. I’m sure Justin will take this confidence and momentum into next weekend’s Michigan race.”

Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

Pre-Race Report
Team BCR and Justin Allison making Pocono debut

(Mooresville, NC – June 3, 2014)  Justin Allison is set to make his Pocono Raceway debut this weekend piloting the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. In preparation for his debut, he’ll be testing at the Tricky Triangle on Wednesday, June 4.

Season Recap: Allison will make his fourth start of the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season at Pocono Raceway. His first two starts being at Daytona and Talladega. Allison then earned his career best finish at Toledo Speedway two weeks ago, finishing in 7th.
xlarge
Family History at the Tricky Triangle: Justin’s Great Uncle, Bobby Allison holds the most consecutive Pocono wins in NASCAR to this day. He won both Pocono races in 1982, then the spring race in 1983.

Marketing Partners: Allison will drive the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Associate Marketing Partners, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Car Wash and Casite.

Meet Justin: Justin will be signing autographs on Saturday morning with other ARCA Racing Series drivers from 9:45-10:15am in the autograph area outside the track. He’ll also be signing at the Realtree Trailer throughout the weekend. Go to Justin’s Fan Facebook Page for updates throughout the weekend!

Team Manager / Crew Chief, Howard Bixman: “I’m impressed with how well Justin has adjusted to these cars, he did a great job at Toledo two weeks ago. He gave us great feedback all weekend and finished in the top-10 for his first ARCA short track race. We will be testing on Wednesday before the race and there’s a lot for Justin to learn at this difficult track. We’ve been working hard in the shop to get the No. 88 Ford ready and I’m expecting to have a strong outing.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

How are you preparing for the Tricky Triangle considering you’ve never been there and there’s so many different corners to learn?

“There really is no way to prepare myself for this type of track other than figuring it out myself. I’ve heard how fun and exciting it can be, but I also know there’s a lot to learn to be competitive. I don’t do any sort of simulator racing or watch videos like some drivers may. I think it’s best to just feel the track out myself. Howard and the team will give me a great car and the open test day will give me extra laps throughout the week.”

Being that your family has an extensive history at Pocono, with Bobby winning three races but also ending his career at the track, do you feel this factors into how you will perform?

“I don’t think the Allison history will have any factor into how we’ll perform at Pocono. Every track you to go to, there’s a risk you’re taking. It’s always helpful to know someone else who has the experience at the particular track, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to perform just like that. We’re in totally different equipment and with a winning team.”

Tune into the Race: The Pocono ARCA 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 on Saturday, June 7 at 1pm ET. Practice for the race will take place on Friday, June 7 from 10-11:50am. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin on Friday at 2:30pm ET.

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

Justin Allison Earns Career Best ARCA Finish at Toledo

(Toledo, OH – May 19, 2014)  Justin Allison in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion earned his first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards top-10 finish in the Menards 200 yesterday at Toledo Speedway.

Allison began the race in the 10th position, gaining two positions by lap 51, where the caution flag flew. A majority of the field came in to pit, but Crew Chief Howard Bixman decided it was too early in the race to come in. Justin became the race leader and continued to run in the top-10.
IMG_0148
Once the second caution flag flew, Bixman called the No. 88 Ford in for a change of four tires, cap off the fuel and some minor adjustments. Allison would stay in the top-10 until coming in for a final pit stop on lap 130, sending him back out to 13th. In those last laps, Allison made up the positions, to earn a 7th place finish.

“Overall, this was a great day for the No. 88 HaVACo Ford and Team BCR,” says Allison. “Howard made a great call on pit strategy to give us tires when nobody had any left towards the end of the race. I learned a few things towards the end of the race that I wish I would have picked up earlier on. I have to thank Howard for all the effort that is put into this program and the crew for putting together a great car.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman commented on Justin’s performance, “Wow, I’m really impressed with Justin today. He did a great job all day and showed he has the talent to be a contender. We had a goal to qualify and finish in the top-10, and we accomplished that. I think Justin learned a lot from the race today, and it will help as he progresses throughout the season.”

Allison’s next race on schedule is the Pocono ARCA 200 on June 7. The race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 1pm ET.

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

Justin Allison to Make ARCA Short Track Debut

(Mooresville, NC – May 13, 2014) Having only speedway ARCA experience from Kansas, Daytona and Talladega, Justin Allison will make his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards short track debut at Toledo Speedway this weekend. Allison will pilot the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion with Team BCR Racing.

Although this is Justin’s first ARCA short track race, running on short tracks is certainly nothing new. Allison started his racing career in the Allison Legacy Series in 2006, where the series’ schedule consists of mainly short tracks. From 2007-2010, he won five races in the series. He then continued to dominate as he won the Allison Legacy Series Championship in 2011, winning 7 races and finishing top-5, 20 times in 21 races. From 2012-2013, Allison ran select PASS Super Late Model races.
10298920_646544588759276_236730290708957191_n
“All of my racing experience comes from short track racing,” says Allison. “I’m looking forward to going to Toledo. We have a winning short track program at Team BCR, and the No. 88 HaVACo Ford should be strong.”

Allison tested the No. 88 powered by RoushYates Engines at South Boston Speedway yesterday in preparation for the Menards 200.

Allison added, “Testing at South Boston Speedway gave me the extra confidence I needed. Short tracks are definitely more in my comfort zone. Howard Bixman and the crew gave me a great car, and I learned a great deal throughout the day. I know there’s room for improvement and a tremendous amount I need to learn moving forward. I’m really excited to see what the weekend holds for our #88 team.”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did an outstanding job at the test yesterday. Once we had our base line, he turned competitive laps and I can tell he feels very comfortable at a short track. We worked on all kinds of scenarios at the test from short runs, long runs and restarts. His feedback was excellent and he’s going to have one competitive car at Toledo.”

The HaVACo Souvenir Trailer will be at Toledo Speedway with all of Justin Allison’s “Continuing the Legacy” apparel including hats, shirts and more. Stop by if you’re at the track!

The Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18.  Two practice sessions will take place on Saturday, from 11:45am-12:30pm and 1-1:45pm. Menards Pole Qualifying is set to start on Saturday at 3:30pm.

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

The New ‘Alabama Gang’ Heading to Toledo

(Mooresville, NC – May 7, 2014)  As the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison (members of the original Alabama Gang), Justin Allison hopes to carry on the family legacy as he advances in his racing career. Allison will attempt to make this dream become a reality with the help from Team BCR teammate, Grant Enfinger, an Alabama native. Together, they could become the new “Alabama Gang.”
10268409_692678637460079_5007116616195435945_n
Allison has made only two starts in the 2014 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion. With only speedway experience under his belt from Kansas in 2013, and Daytona and Talladega in 2014, the ARCA rookie will make his ARCA short track debut at Toledo Speedway.

“This is where the ‘real racing’ will happen,” says Allison. “Racing at these speedways, such as Daytona and Talladega, has a tremendous amount of variables.  At the short tracks, you not only have to bring a fast car, but have the talent as a driver. Howard Bixman and Team BCR has a proven winning short track program. I think we’ll be a threat to our competition in Toledo since short track racing is what I grew up on and have the most experience with.”

Allison’s teammate at Team BCR, Grant Enfinger in the No. 90 Motor Honey/Casite – Triple K Construction Ford, started off the year in victory lane. Not just once, or twice, but three times! And then remained to dominate as he earned his second-career pole award at Talladega Superspeedway.
-74a3d490cda5aa24
Enfinger raced Schrader door to door in last season’s Toledo race, until cutting a tire down, with just a few laps left of the race. Fairhope, AL’s driver will make his fifth start of the season as the current points leader for the 2014 ARCA Racing Series Championship with Team BCR.

Enfinger said, “Toledo’s a really good track to race at. We were very competitive last year and we’re bringing that same car back with us. We’ve made improvements, and I think we’re going to be even better than we were.”

The Menards 200 presented by Federated Auto Parts at Toledo Speedway will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET on Sunday, May 18, 2014.

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

Justin Allison Finishes Strong after Unfortunate Events

(Lincoln, AL – May 5, 2014)  Alabama’s Justin Allison made his ARCA Talladega debut on Saturday, where luck was not on his side. The rookie driver blew two tires throughout the race, leaving him to finish in 19th.

Justin Allison, who is the grandson of Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison, was honored to attend the Alabama Gang Superstretch unveiling on Wednesday, April 30. The track named the backstretch in honor of Donnie Allison, Bobby Allison, Davey Allison and Red Farmer (the original Alabama Gang). Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger (who is also from Alabama), attended the event as special guests and the new generation of Alabama racers.

“I grew up hearing all the stories about the Alabama Gang,” says Justin Allison. “Growing up, I never thought of them as big racers. I just saw them as family, but they’re still my heroes. As I get older, I’m realizing this is a really big deal.”

After the unveiling, it was finally time for Allison to make his Talladega debut and to continue his family’s legacy. Allison started 25th for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 in the No. 88 HaVACo Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines. He was gaining positions in the first half of the race until a tire cut down, sending him into Clay Campbell in the #52 car.

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman called Allison in to fix the damages and sent him back out. Allison could feel a vibration in the car as he made his first lap around, realizing the fender was rubbing against the tire, which cut down another tire. Bixman brought the No. 88 Ford down pit road several more times for repairs. The crew did major repairs to the right side of the HaVACo Ford, while keeping Justin from losing any more positions. Allison fought hard to the end where he finished 19th.

“It’s disappointing our day ended like this,” says Justin Allison. “We had faster lap times than the leaders for a majority of the race, but we couldn’t make up the spots lost. With the green flag pit stops, the field was too spread out. I have to thank my Crew Chief, Howard Bixman and my crew for doing a good job on pit road and building a fast car. I also have to thank my Grandpa, Donnie, for pushing me through the entire race to the end. This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without the support of Havacosales.com and Rush Racing Products.”

The next race on Allison’s schedule is Toledo Speedway on May 18 where the race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1 at 2pm ET.

Allison said, “Now it’s time to go ‘real’ racing at Toledo Speedway. I love short track racing and that’s where my strong suit is. Team BCR has a strong short track program, and we should be a threat there in the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford. ”

Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “Justin did a great job at Talladega this week dealing with a lot of damages. I’m proud of him for keeping focused and finishing strong after all the unfortunate events. Justin has that Allison blood in him and you can tell he is a very talented driver. He provided great feedback and his knowledge of the car is remarkable. Donnie has been his mentor throughout his racing career, and it shows.”

Justin Allison is the grandson of Donnie Allison and nephew of Bobby Allison, who were the original members of the Alabama Gang. Donnie has won two races at the 2.5-mile track while Bobby has won four.
Daytona
“There’s a lot of family history at this track and a lot to live up to,” says Justin Allison. “It’s always been a dream of mine to race at Talladega Superspeedway. Not only do we have a lot of fans in Alabama, but we have a lot of family and friends there to support all of us for many decades.”

The ARCA Racing Series has made changes to the qualifying procedures for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200. Instead of doing a single car, two-lap qualifying run, the drivers will be placed into groups based on practice times.

“We’re really hoping my teammate, Grant Enfinger, and I will be able to help each other during qualifying and then the race,” says Allison. “We wanted to work together at Daytona, but since our chances ended early, we weren’t able to do so. It’s very beneficial to have a strong teammate at a superspeedway.”

Allison also tested the No. 88 HaVACoSales.com Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines at Talladega two weeks ago, where he posted top-5 lap times on the second day of testing.

Allison said, “Howard Bixman [Crew Chief] and the rest of the guys at Team BCR have put together a great car for me so I feel confident going into this. Team BCR is the 2014 Daytona Champion, and our goal is nothing short of winning this. I’d like to thank HaVACo, Rush Racing Products, Tornado Alley Carwash and Randy Jones Nationwide Insurance for the support and faith in me to do this.”
Donnie/Justin
Crew Chief, Howard Bixman is confident in Justin’s capabilities at Talladega, “The test went very well with Justin. He’s never competed at Talladega and he did a great job. Donnie Allison spotted for Justin during the test, giving him great advice. Justin is a natural and a very talented driver. With his teammate Grant Enfinger, from Alabama as well, we may have the ‘New Alabama Gang.’ I’m really excited for him and his family to continue this legacy.”

Justin will make various appearances throughout the week. One of the events he will attend is on Friday, May 2 at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for the Race Fever event. The annual event benefits the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Justin and his teammate, Grant Enfinger, will do an on-stage interview at 5pm and then sign autographs for the children of the institute as well as other attendees of the event. Come by if you’re in the area!

Justin will also be at Talladega Superspeedway in the Sprint Fan Zone prior to the Sprint Cup Race. He will be at the Realtree trailer both Saturday and Sunday, times posted at the trailer. On Sunday, he will be in the grandstands signing autographs from 9-11am.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 at 11am ET on Saturday, May 3. Practice takes place on Friday, May 2 from 9-11am CT. Menards Pole Qualifying will begin at 3:30pm CT. Stay connected during practice and qualifying by going to www.arcaracing.com or by liking Team BCR or Justin’s Facebook Page.

I would like to thank Havacosales.com, Rush Racing Products and all our partners that have supported us.”

Tough Luck for Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing at Daytona

(Daytona Beach, FL – February 17, 2014)  Justin Allison and Team BCR Racing had a strong car, qualifying 12th for the Lucas Oil 200, but due to a 15-car wreck early in the race, their day ended early.

Allison tested at Daytona back in December with over 70 drivers and posted the 3rdfastest lap time throughout the entire weekend. Set to make his Daytona debut, the rookie driver drove the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford up into the 9th position respectively by lap 12 of the race.

Just 13 laps in, the race spiraled out of control when the No. 99 and No. 9 cars triggered a multiple car wreck. Allison quickly turned the wheel in order to avoid the wreck and would have been clear until the No. 66 hit the nose of Allison’s No. 88Havacosales.com Ford Fusion.

“It’s a shame our day had to end like this,” says 21-year-old driver, Justin Allison. “The Team BCR crew and I have been putting a lot of effort into making this car capable of a win. Howard gave me a great car that had the ability to finish well here but I guess it wasn’t in our cards today. I’m thankful I was given the chance to come here and make my Daytona debut with the support from HaVACo and Team BCR.”

Allison also mentioned, “I’d like to congratulate my teammate, Grant Enfinger, on winning the race. The team along with Grant and I work on our cars together at the shop so it’s rewarding to see our hard work paid off.”

Allison and Team BCR hope to bring the No. 88 Havacosales.com Ford Fusion to Mobile International Speedway on March 22.

Team Manager and Crew Chief, Howard Bixman said, “It’s too bad this happened for Justin and the team. A lot of dedication and effort went into Justin’s car. He ran in the top ten and proved throughout speed weeks, he has the ability to be a winner in this series. I‘d like to thank HaVACo for their support. Now it’s just time to focus on the next race on our schedule, so we can have a strong finish Justin is more than capable of.”

Q & A with Justin Allison

What were your thoughts going out on the track the very first time at Daytona?

“I was terrified leaving the pits and I did not know what to expect. Of course, I’ve been given plenty of advice from my grandfather [Donnie Allison] along with my teammate Grant Enfinger but you don’t fully know what to expect until you’re out there doing it yourself. Once I got going, though, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. My Crew Chief Howard Bixman gave me a great car as the speed charts showed.”

What sort of advice has your grandfather given you and what will you take from that going into the race?

“My grandfather gave me advice in drafting and in single car runs. At this point in my career, all the advice I can get is very helpful. I have a great teammate, Grant Enfinger and a veteran Crew Chief, Howard Bixman to rely on as well.”

11th place Finish for Justin Allison’s First ARCA Start

(Kansas City, KS – Oct. 7, 2013) Justin Allison came home with a solid 11th place finish in his first-ever ARCA Racing Series event, the rain-shortened Kansas Lottery 98.9 which was run on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Kansas Speedway.Originally scheduled for 99 laps, ARCA and track officials shortened the race by 34 laps for safety reasons due to the rain and threatening weather in the area.

Allison qualified 11th in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion powered by RoushYates Engines, and once the green flag flew, he was able to maneuver through the field and make his way as high as 6th at one point.

Several cautions slowed the race allowing Crew Chief Howard Bixman plenty of chances to boost Allison’s confidence as much as possible. At one point, Bixman told him over the radio, “You’re doing a great job out there. Many drivers are out there to gain Championship points so they’re driving aggressively. Just stay smart and stick to our game plan, and you’ll be in great shape.”Bixman made the call to bring in the No. 88 HAVACOSALES.COM Ford Fusion during a caution on lap 35 for four Hoosier tires and Sunoco fuel, but made no adjustments. While Allison was making his way down pit road, Bixman then decided to bring him back down pit road again for fuel only before the green flag flew, and this gave the No. 88 enough gas to make it to end.

With a possible tornado in the area, ARCA officials felt it was best to clear the grandstands, so they announced on lap 55 that the race would end in 10 laps. At that time, Allison was in 16th and had to make up as much as ground as possible in the short time available, and he was able to climb to 11th.“We had a top 5 car here for sure,” Allison said. “I hate to see the race end so early when we were the first car with fresh tires and enough fuel to make it to the checkered flag. This was a great start to my ARCA racing career, and I look forward to working with Team BCR and Howard in the future. I’d like to thank the HaVACo group for coming out to watch the race, and I would like to thank the rest of my marketing partners for being a part of my debut; Rush Racing Products, Rick and Bubba Sausage produced by Polk’s Meat and Husky Liners. I greatly appreciate it.”

Bixman was equally thrilled with the results.

“Justin has some amazing driving talents, and I can already tell the family legacy will continue to live on,” Bixman said. “Justin has given me a lot to look forward to, and I can’t wait to work with him even more in the future. If the race wasn’t shortened, I have no doubts Justin would have came home with a top 5 finish and possibly have been a contender for a win. He has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Justin Allison is grandson of NASCAR legend Donnie Allison and great nephew of Bobby Allison. Donnie attended the race to support his grandson and could not be more proud of Justin’s first performance on a major racing circuit.

“I think Justin did a tremendous job being that it was his first race ever in this type of car on this big of a racetrack,” Donnie Allison said. “I think he showed everybody his abilities as a race car driver.”

Team BCR Racing and Development Team, located in Mooresville, N.C, has positioned itself to become a first-rate driver development team that seeks out talented drivers and provides them with a quality equipment with the goal of grooming them for successful entry into NASCAR various racing series.

I’m getting very excited to make  my debut.”

says driver of the No. 90 Ford Fusion, Grant Enfinger. “We’re just  trying to make sure we’re going through what we need to do to get him up to  the speed he needs as quickly as possible. Overall, the test is running very smoothly.”

2012 News

June 30, 2012 –  Southern National – After qualifying 7th and running in the top five most of the night, Justin was involved in a wreck on lap 87 of the 125 lapper that took him out of the race with front end damage.
June 29, 2012 8:15pm – While Justin turned some really fast laps in practice today, the temperature soared to 107 degrees and much higher than that on the track. Temperatures for tomorrow are forcasted to be even hotter.
June 29, 2012- Justin is at Southern National Raceway Park practicing today for the 125 lap Super Late Model race tomorrow, Saturday June 30th. The track is a 4/10 mile located in Kenly, NC.  He was at the dyno yesterday and things went well so he is hoping for a good qualifying run and finish.  There has been a good field of cars at Kenly since the track reopened earlier this year and Justin will have some fierce competition.  Tomorrow the pit gate opens at 11:00am with practice at 2:00pm and qualifying at 5:00pm.  The green flag drops at 7:00pm.  Good Luck Justin!
May 26, 2012-Concord Motor Speedway CV Products 125- Justin started 20th and made his way up to the 10th spot by lap 10 of the race.  He avoided a major wreck and then was coming up on 6th place when he tapped the wall while running outside of Jay Fogleman.  He ran several more laps but the car had some minor damage that affected the handling so he had to park the car and finished in 19th place.
May 11, 2012-Wake County Speedway- Justin ran fast times in practice, qualified 13th and finished in the 10th spot in the 125 lapper…bringing the car home in one piece in the P.A.S.S. Super Late Model race at the 1/4 bullring track near Raleigh, NC.
4/21/2012 … “Orange County Speedway” … Justin Allison finally got to run his Ford Fusion “Grillin’ Sauce” #1 car at the “Pass 150” lap race at Orange County Speedway on Saturday night.  Just like the other races we have attempted, he ran really good in practice but our crate motor just won’t make the speed to qualify.  Justin started 22 out of the 26 cars there and it didn’t take but about fifteen laps for him to get in the top 15. He was patient all night as he worked his way into the top 10.  Justin did an excellent job of managing his tires, as the race was 150 green flag laps, and Justin was sitting in 9th place on the last restart with 30 laps to go.  With some awsome racing, as the laps were winding down, Justin moved into 7th place. He had his sights set on moving up, until interference with a lap car cost him too much ground on the track to make up in the short number of laps remaining, so Justin had to settle for a 7th place finish. 

The race “felt like a victory for him and the effort of his whole team”.  It was a great confidence booster for Justin after running so good in practice at the other events, but not being able to qaulify. The next race will be at Wake County Speedway on May 11th for the Pass 125 lapper.  As it looks right now, we may have our new engine for that event from Doug Yates and all the great guys at RoushYates Engines. We really look forward to competing in the remainder of the “Pass South” Super Late Model races, but right now we are taking them one at a time depending on sponsorship.
