With next year's deal on the table, 2007 ROTY Willie Allen was
surprised to find out he wouldn't return to the #13 ThorSport Chevrolet.
(Worth Canoy/VPS Motorimages) | Willie Allen, the 2007 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) Rookie of the Year, will not return to the #13 ThorSport Racing truck for the 2008 NCTS season. ThorSport Racing has terminated their agreement with Allen for 2008.
"We are currently looking for other opportunities for next season," explains Allen. "We had a successful year with ThorSport Racing but I'm hearing another driver is bringing in a substantial amount of money. I have a letter exercising ThorSport's option on my contract for 2008, so I don't know how this could happen. I hope that we can put something together with a team in one of NASCAR's top three divisions very soon."
Allen finished his rookie season 15th in the overall points standings and added his third career Rookie of the Year title to his resume. Allen's career highlights include a 6th place Martinsville finish in his first ever NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, a 6th place finish at Talladega in 2007 and a 2006 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Points Championship at the Music City Motorplex in Nashville.
