Justin Allgaier will attempt to win his second NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series championship with JR Motorsports in 2026 and become the first JRM driver to win multiple series titles in the organization’s storied history. The Illinois native became the fourth JRM driver to win a championship in 2024, joining Chase Elliott, William Byron and Tyler Reddick.

The longest-tenured and winningest driver in team history, Allgaier and cornerstone partner BRANDT Professional Agriculture will seek a second title with a new face on the pit box, as Andrew Overstreet takes over for Jim Pohlman this season as team leader.

The 39-year-old driver won three times in 2025, back-to-back early in the season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway, and earned the third midway through the year at Nashville Superspeedway to push his career total to 28. The total puts Allgaier ninth on the all-time wins list in the series and just three victories short of sixth. Additionally, Allgaier scored 15 stage wins in 2025, one shy of the record 16 stages he won in 2024. That pushed his series-best total to 84 for his career. He remains the only driver in the series with more than 50 stage victories. In 2024, Allgaier became the series’ all-time leader in top-10 finishes.

The Illinois native earned another milestone in October at Charlotte Motor Speedway, making his 500th career start in the series.

In 2024, Allgaier earned his first NOAPS championship despite some misfortune in the championship race at Phoenix Raceway. Starting 37th after a crash in practice forced him to a backup car, Allgaier raced his way to the front in short order, only to be hit with a pair of penalties that pushed him a lap down. With time running out, Allgaier and Pohlman continued to move back through the field, utilizing strong restarts during NASCAR’s version of overtime to take the checkered flag in thrilling fashion in the second position. In so doing, Allgaier topped championship rivals Cole Custer, AJ Allmendinger and Austin Hill to secure the first championship of his NOAPS career.

Allgaier has made more than 500 starts in NOAPS competition, earning the 28 victories alongside 168 top-five and 302 top-10 finishes. In 2024, Allgaier led 1,056 laps, the second time he’s eclipsed the 1,000-lap-led plateau (2020) and pushing his career total to 7,141 entering the 2026 season.

In 2025, Allgaier earned a record sixth Most Popular Driver Award in the series, as voted on by the fans.

Outside of racing in the NOAPS, Allgaier enjoys spending time with his wife Ashley and daughters Harper and Willow, running, graphic design, hunting, wake surfing and competing in select dirt races throughout the year.

Andrew Overstreet will embark on his second full-time season as a crew chief in 2026, this time with perennial NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series championship contender Justin Allgaier and the No. 7 BRANDT Professional Agriculture team.

The 41-year-old North Carolinian led JR Motorsports’ No. 1 team in 2025, and he and rookie driver Carson Kvapil earned a NOAPS Playoff berth on the strength of seven top-five and 14 top-10 finishes, advancing to the Championship Race with a chance at a championship. The team was a model of consistency, earning 30 lead-lap finishes over the 33 races.

In 2024, Overstreet had a breakout season in a part-time effort with the team’s No. 88 Chevrolet. A dominant weekend at Watkins Glen with Connor Zilisch produced a thrilling victory, adding six top-five and 10 top-10 finishes over the partial schedule. That weekend, Zilisch led 45 laps from the pole and earned the win with a daring performance in overtime, earning both his and Overstreet’s first career NOAPS victory.

Overstreet, a native of Concord, N.C., is a 2006 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a degree in mechanical engineering, much of it taking place in UNCC’s Alan D. Kulwicki Motorsports Laboratory, one of the top motorsports engineering programs in the country.

Growing up near Charlotte Motor Speedway, Overstreet began his career in the sport on weekends working on U.S. Legend Cars before working toward his mechanical engineering degree, much the same way the 1992 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kulwicki did.

Prior to his graduation, Overstreet secured an internship at Hendrick Motorsports and later earned a position there in 2004, starting as a post-race teardown mechanic alongside Greg Ives. Ives delivered the 2014 NXS championship—the first for JRM--with Chase Elliott as his driver. In addition, he worked on the setup plate and in the shock room, as well as helping with tires at the track.

While at HMS, Overstreet was also a part of the 2006 NASCAR Cup Series championship team with Jimmie Johnson as the driver.
With no available positions at HMS, Overstreet went on to Red Bull Racing, with a stint at Michael Waltrip Racing, before helping win a pair of NASCAR K&N Series titles as a race engineer with Ryan Truex. During his career, Overstreet has been with several top NASCAR teams, including KBM, Penske Racing, Wood Brothers Racing and Red Horse Racing.

While with Penske, Overstreet was the race engineer on the No. 22 car which ended up winning the NXS owner’s championship.

In 2020, Overstreet joined JRM as a race engineer for several drivers before hooking on with Sam Mayer during his rookie season in 2022.

Overstreet was also the first-man-in as crew chief that season when Taylor Moyer was suspended for a lug-nut violation at Dover in the spring. In the three races he was atop the pit box, Mayer finished third twice (at Darlington and Texas) and fifth at Darlington. In 2023, Mardy Lindley missed a race due to illness and Overstreet got the call again, guiding Mayer to a seventh-place result.
