Justin Allgaier has expressed his support for Jim Pohlman, despite the recent separation of the crew chief from Kyle Busch. The collaboration between Pohlman and Busch, which lasted only ten races, did not achieve the expected level of success, with Busch sitting in a disappointing 27th position in the championship.
In a recent interview, Allgaier commented that Pohlman’s decision to leave JR Motorsports to take responsibility for the number 8 car of Richard Childress Racing was the right one. Despite the improvised outcome of their partnership with Busch, the driver firmly believes in Pohlman’s abilities as a crew chief.
Allgaier added that no one in the situation should bear all the blame and that each party must reflect on their role in the team’s dynamics. In his opinion, Pohlman has demonstrated his passion and experience in the world of racing, making him the right candidate for future challenges.
After his conversation with Pohlman at the last race in Talladega, Allgaier stated that he was not surprised by the news of the separation, but still felt disappointment. Despite the results, he trusts that Pohlman can be a positive factor in a team’s success in the future.
Allgaier highlighted Pohlman’s merits during his stay at JR Motorsports, where he achieved nine victories and a championship. His optimistic view for Pohlman’s future and his ability to win races are a testament to the strong relationship between both drivers.
