Summary
AJ Allmendinger just hit a career milestone—his 500th NASCAR Cup Series start—at Sonoma Raceway, cementing his legacy as a veteran driver with Kaulig Racing since the early 2000s. Now 44, he’s chasing his first playoff appearance since 2014, currently sitting 20th in points. With two Cup wins since joining Kaulig—including the historic Indy road course race and the Charlotte Roval—he’s proving he’s still got what it takes. Before the race, he gave heartfelt shoutouts to team owner Matt Kaulig and CEO Chris Rice, calling the team “home” and thanking them for his career happiness. More milestones? He’s hoping so.
