MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Jacob Allen will campaign the iconic Shark Racing No. 1a full time during the upcoming High Limit Racing season.
The son of National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Bobby Allen will become a High Roller next year, chasing the season-long championship and Midweek Money Series title. Allen and Shark Racing join Brad Sweet and Kasey Kahne Racing as the first two publicly confirmed full-timers with more names coming soon.
“In 2024, I will be back to full-time racing. It’s going to look a little bit different though,” Allen said via a social media video. “I will not be committing to the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, but I’m going to be starting a new journey as I commit to the High Limit Sprint Car Series. I’m very excited about this opportunity.”
