A.J. Allmendinger and the No. 42 Memorex Dodge Team Facts:
One last time: This weekend’s NASCAR Busch Series (NBS) run at Lowe’s Motor Speedway will mark A.J. Allmendinger’s last effort with the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) Busch team since it was announced in late August he was going to be driving a limited amount of races for the organization. To date, Allmendinger has made four career Busch Series starts with the No. 42 Memorex team, during which he has averaged a 13th-place starting position and 24th-place finish.
So Many are Racing Close to Home: Three members of the No. 42 Memorex team are originally from the Charlotte, N.C., area. Pit crew coach Adam Mosher is from Ft. Mill, S.C.; swing mechanic Brandon Stafford is from Taylorsville, N.C.; and pit supporter Scott Hutchins is from Thomasville, N.C.
Chassis: Crew chief Brian Pattie and the No. 42 Memorex team will be racing chassis #755 this weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. This is a new car that has been entered in only one other race this season and that was at Chicagoland Speedway this past July when the team scored a 21st-place finish with Juan Pablo Montoya behind the wheel (started 17th).
Standings Update: The No. 42 team gained a spot in the NBS owner standings after its top-25 run at Kansas Speedway last month. The team is just 169 away from the top 15.
