It might have taken a bit longer than we expected, but
@_TaraLea
and I are so thrilled to have our little boy
Aero James Allmendinger finally arrive into our family at 1131am this morning. Momma and baby are doing amazing. Thank you to everyone that was so positive through this.
It's taken me a couple days to write this. It's with enormous sadness I relay the news that Tara and I lost our sweet boy
@tickles_thecat
who passed away Sunday night unexpectedly. He was the best cat we could have ever asked for. He was our family and there will be a huge void..
8) We wish we could go out on our own terms. Not always do we get what we want. But with that said I have been so blessed. So lucky and fortunate. No regrets. Cant wait for what the future holds. And especially cant thank all of my fans and supporters enough. U have made it great
left in our hearts. Tickles had a lot of fans and I always loved being called Mr. Tickles dad at the racetrack. Always made me smile. Thank you to all who followed and loved seeing his posts. Tara and I will be forever grateful we rescued him from under the dumpster

1) On the eve of what quite possibly could be my last full time race in auto racing I cant help look back and thank the people that have made my career what it has been.

@ChaseBriscoe5
... u were badass today. Made me drive to the edge and beyond every lap. Was doing all I could to just hang with you. Always fun racing with you
It takes being 100% to win these races and I tried going 110% that last restart. Lesson learned, this ones gonna sting for a while. Thanks
@AJDinger
for coming and racing with us and congrats on the win, you make us all better road racers.

@KauligRacing
for working so hard and allowing me to be a part of the organization. Insane race. So much credit to
@C_Rice1
for keeping me in it. Talking me off of the ledge several times and believing in me to get it done at the end.
Just saw the results at Sonoma. So pumped and beyond happy for my friend
@mattdracing
for finishing 4th and more importantly for
@TayDiBenedetto
since she has to deal with him. Hopefully Matt and
@LFR95
can build from here.
Sorry, I didnt get everything I wanted to say in bout our friend Nick Harrison on "Victory Lap" Started to tear up and was gonna be hard to talk. Most friendly, caring, fun, loving guy you could meet. We will all miss him dearly. "Clear out the glass, Haulin balls"
@KauligRacing
Right after that pic, I hit a turn around jumper over Brad to win the game... Or he might have blocked my shot with his elbow.... hard to remember. Going to go with I hit the game winning shot.
Pumped for my friend
@mattdracing
to get an opportunity with a team that he can really show how good he is. Going to be great for him and the
@LFR95
team
I can go into a full description of why it was low from contact early in the race on a restart. The issues we struggled with after cause track bar mount was bent and oil tank getting hung on the coil of the spring the rest of the race. But just doesnt f***ing matter. 💔💔💔💔
Shank!!!!! Hell yeah. What a team
@MeyerShankRac
.... so happy. Win

Tad & Jodi for giving me a home for 5 years. Winning a cup race together. Making the playoffs. So many good
Wow
@TigerWoods

#NCHGlove
Extremely disappointed. Props to
@AJDinger
for fighting. Never been in that situation & I didn’t get it done. Clearly a mistake by David, but I don’t think it was intentional. Shouldn’t have come down to that. Wanted it so bad for
@TeamMartins
. Gonna sting for a long time.
Hard fought race today for all of our
@KauligRacing
@TeamChevy
cars. Proud of the effort from our team. So happy to get the
@NASCAR_Xfinity
Dash for Cash 100K and to have all 3 cars in the top 6. Thanks to
@MattKaulig
for the opportunities. Let's go get it again at Dega
@C_Rice1
I mean come on, if you told someone that you went to the zoo and they asked what was your favorite animal you saw? You say oh for sure the Kaz Grala. They will totally believe it's an animal.
