A.J. Allmendinger will not compete in the Sprint Unlimited

A.J. Allmendinger has announced that he will not compete in the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race at Daytona on February 14. Allmendinger took the #47 Chevrolet of JTG Daugherty Racing to the first Sprint Cup wins for both him and the team at Watkins Glen in August. He became eligible for the Unlimited when NASCAR expanded the field to include all 16 drivers from the previous year's Chase for the Sprint Cup regardless of whether they won any poles during the season or met any of the other criteria for eligibility (previous Unlimited winners who at least attempted a 2014 points race or previous Daytona 500 front row starters who did not win a points race pole in 2014).
