Willie Allen

William A. Allen (born June 15, 1980) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He is the co-owner of Rackley W.A.R., a team that competes full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and in late model racing. Allen previously competed as a driver in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Truck Series (including a full season in 2007 where he won the Rookie of the Year award), and the ARCA Menards Series.

Racing career Driving career Allen made his NASCAR debut in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2005, driving the No. 47 Chevrolet Silverado for Morgan-Dollar Motorsports in the Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway, starting 21st and finishing sixth. He made one more start in 2005 for SS-Green Light Racing.

Allen ran the first two races of the 2006 ARCA Racing Series season in the No. 75 for Bob Schacht Motorsports, finishing 38th at Daytona and finishing fifth at Nashville. Towards the end of the year, he made his Busch Series debut, driving the No. 14 Dodge for FitzBradshaw Racing at Memphis, where he finished 28th, and Phoenix, where he finished 35th. He also ran the final race of the 2006 Truck Series season for ThorSport Racing in a part-time third truck for the team, the No. 87. This led to his running full-time with the team in 2007, where he replaced Kerry Earnhardt in the team's No. 13 truck. It was his first full season in NASCAR. After finishing the season 15th in the standings, with his only top ten of the season being a sixth-place finish at Talladega, Allen was replaced by Shelby Howard for the 2008 season.

In 2008, Allen started the season in the renamed Nationwide Series, running two races (Daytona and Nashville) in the Sadler Brothers Racing No. 95, with a best finish of 29th at Daytona. Later in the year, returned to Morgan-Dollar Motorsports in the Truck Series to drive three races in the No. 46 at Memphis, Kentucky and Nashville. In those three races, Allen was sponsored by the band Rascal Flatts, who were promoting their new album Still Feels Good on the truck. Shortly after rejoining the team, Morgan-Dollar was bought by New England Patriots player Randy Moss, who renumbered the truck to the No. 81 to match his jersey number in the NFL. However, Allen's plans were not affected by the change in ownership.

Allen attempted six Nationwide races in 2009 in the Nos. 92 and 96 for Whitney Motorsports, but failed to qualify for one race and started and parked in the other five races that he did qualify for. He returned to the Truck Series in 2010 for Team Gill Racing to drive their No. 46 in the race at Nashville, starting 36th and finishing 29th. Team owner/driver Tommy Joe Martins (who drove the team's other car, the No. 67) stated that the plan at the start of the season was for Allen to run full races in the No. 76, while Martins would start and park the No. 67. These plans fell apart after both Martins Motorsports cars failed to qualify for the spring race at Bristol, For the remainder of the season, the No. 67 would no longer be fielded (except for at Michigan) and Martins would drive the No. 76 himself instead of Allen. After not racing in the Truck Series for the previous three years, Allen drove Jennifer Jo Cobb's No. 0 start and park truck at Charlotte.

In 2021, Allen returned for the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Talladega, his first NASCAR sanctioned race since 2014. He drove the No. 25 for Rackley W.A.R.

Team owner After several years out of NASCAR, it was announced that Allen would return to the sport as an owner and would start a full-time team in the Truck Series in 2021 with Curtis Sutton, the owner of Rackley Roofing, which was the primary sponsor of the No. 68 Clay Greenfield Motorsports truck in 2020. With their co-ownership, they named the team Rackley W.A.R. (Rackley for Sutton's company and W.A.R. standing for "Willie Allen Racing"). The team fields the No. 25 Chevrolet Silverado for Dawson Sutton with sponsorship from Rackley Roofing and Chad Kendrick as crew chief.
