“He’s talked about it a lot,. Josh (Berry) has been somebody…the growth of the JR Motorsports as a whole, Josh has been an integral part of that and they’re really, really good buddies,” Allgaier said. “Dale, definitely from what I would say, gravitate towards Josh.”

“But on the other side of it, he also understands business. He understands race team business, and he’s in all of our corners,” the JRM driver continued. “Even though they’re the closest, I would say that he’s really good at being neutral, being Switzerland, I guess.”
