JGL Racing announced on Thursday its throwback paint scheme will honor the late great Davey Allison for the VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 on Sept. 3rd at Darlington Raceway.
Dakoda Armstrong will pilot the No.28 Toyota, which will feature Allison’s iconic paint scheme from his rookie season in 1987.
“It is with great pleasure that we pay tribute to one of the legends of our sport,” said James Whitener, owner of JGL Racing. “We had so much success with our throwback scheme last year and we are looking for this years to be even better. I am a fan of this sport as well as a team owner and being able to run the 1987 Rookie of the Year paint scheme of Davey Allison is super special for all of us at JGL Racing. We look forward to representing Davey and his legacy in a first class and professional manner.”
“Robbie, Krista and I are honored that Davey’s 1987 Rookie Paint Scheme will be a part of such a special weekend of throwbacks at Darlington”, stated Liz Allison. “Having the No. 28 on the track in the XFINITY Series with JGL Racing and Dakoda behind the wheel means so much to our family. This paint scheme is what fans remember most of all of Davey’s cars. We are truly grateful to have Davey remembered in this way.”
