CHARLOTTE, N.C. AJ Allmendinger will drive the No. 00 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing at Lowes Motor Speedway this weekend.

Allmendinger will have to qualify the car on speed to make the field for the race Saturday night because the team is ranked 36th in owner points.

I think this is a great opportunity, Allmendinger said. Over the past couple of months the organization has really picked up with how everyone has been running. Hopefully, I can go out there and do a good job and get the . . . team back inside the top 35.

Kenny Wallace raced the car to a season-high 12th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. Now MWR is turning to Allmendinger, who is looking for a full-time job since he was let go by Red Bull Racing two weeks ago.

Allmendinger was a career-best ninth at Kansas Speedway two weeks ago in his final race for Red Bull. In races at Lowes this year, Allmendinger finished 20th in the Coca-Cola 600 and won the qualifying race to earn a spot in the all-star event.
