Colin Allman Seeking Career-Defining World Crown 300 Victory

Colin Allman and his family team have made the step from "Little Team That Could" to "Little Team That Can" in 2025. Now, he hopes to score the biggest win of his career in Saturday's Cohen Law Group World Crown 300 at Cordele Motor Speedway.

Allman appeared on Thursday evening's episode of "The Bullring," hosted by Jim Tretow, discussing his preparations and expectations for Saturday's marquee event for the ASA Southern Super Series. The Florida driver finished second in the Georgia Summer Nationals 125 one month ago at Cordele, and hopes to pick up one more spot on Saturday.

“We finished second to Jake [Garcia] that last time there," said Allman. "I thought we had a better car in the long run. The short run, he got us there at the end, but hopefully we can make the right adjustments from the last race and have something for him.”

Allman has established himself as a driver to watch in Late Model competition this year. Not only did he finish runner-up to Garcia at the Summer Nationals, but he has also added a matching runner-up finish in the zMAX CARS Tour Pro Late Model event at Cordele in April and a pair of Super Late Model wins this year.

Through hard work by Allman and his father and with technical assistance from Ty Majeski and Toby Nuttleman, Allman enters World Crown weekend with a realistic possibility to win the event.

“We finally got a good baseline last year, working with Ty [Majeski] and Toby [Nuttleman] and all the guys at Toby Race Products," said Allman. "We struggled [at Cordele] for a few years. My first race there was in 2017 or 2018. That was with our older clip and older geometry and everything. When we updated it, we struggled.

“Luckily, over the last year or so, working with Toby and Ty, we’ve got a good baseline going. We hit on something last year at the World Crown. We should have ended up sixth in that race, I believe, but we got stuck a lap down in the second stage after some stagger issues.

“It’s just me and my dad working in the shop every night and we try to compete with them. We’ve been lucky this year to have good race cars and we’ve worked our butts off for it. It’s not all luck, but luck plays into racing as well, and we know that."

For the family team, a World Crown 300 victory would be a life-altering outcome. The event pays a minimum of $35,000 to win, but his three previous appearances in Cordele's Super Fest will earn him bonus money regardless of his finishing position on Saturday.

That bonus money ramps up to $3,750 per Super Fest start for the World Crown 300 winner, which would add more than $10,000 to the $35,000 winner's prize for a driver like Allman who took part in all three previous races.

“That would be a huge, huge payday if we could pull it off and win that thing," Allman explained. "That’d be huge for our program. We probably don’t spend half of what we could win at the World Crown in a year. It would definitely help us keep going. We work our butts off to do this and it’d be really rewarding, especially with the names that are going to be there and all the names that have won the World Crown before us."

Whoever wins Sunday's race will have to be prepared for the changes that come with 300 laps of racing at Cordele Motor Speedway. With cooler temperatures than a month ago and plenty of rubber being worked into the racing surface, Allman knows they'll have to stay on top of the changes to win.

“It’s a long race," said Allman. "On the crew chief side of things, you’ve got to keep up with the racetrack and driving, you’ve got to keep up with the racetrack, see where the rubber’s going, see where the cars are moving around. Cordele, you can move around quite a bit and still make speed. You can run the top in three and make speed, and the track’s going to go through some changes throughout 300 laps."
