Allmendinger in the “Fired Penske Driver Car” at Phoenix

Jayski reports that AJ Allmendinger will be in the #51 Phoenix Racing Chevy at Phoenix International Speedway (no relation) for the first time since playing musical drivers with Regan Smith and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Last year, Allmendinger was suspended and then fired from the Penske #22 Dodge after testing positive for a stimulant, later confessed to being Adderall.

Post-firing and recovery program, Allmendinger ran two races in October 2012 (also in the #51 Chevy) to fill in for driver Regan Smith (who was vacationing in the the #88 Chevy while Dale Earnhardt Jr. was sidelined by concussion).
