According to Kaulig Racing team president Chris Rice, the decision about Allmendinger's future largely depends on sponsorship dollars and funding. He stated, "It's a lot about sponsorship dollars and funding, that’s where there’s a gap right now. They just don’t have the funding in place for the #16 car."
