A.J. Allmendinger

The veteran road course ace who refuses to fade away. AJ Allmendinger drives the No. 16 Chevy for Kaulig Racing and brings nearly two decades of Cup experience to every start, including three career road course wins and an open-wheel racing background that gives him elite car control. In 2025, the Dinger finished with two top-fives and seven top-10s while snagging his first pole in a decade at Bristol. In fantasy, Allmendinger is a road course specialist you can slot in with confidence. He's finished top-10 in most of his recent road course starts and owns a stellar average finish at the Charlotte Roval. On ovals he's more of a fringe play, but at road courses he delivers consistent DFS value.
