HANOVER, Pa. Second-generation sprint car racer Jacob Allen is stepping out of the driving seat. Allen confirmed the news Wednesday night on social media.

Allen, who has driven one of two Shark Racing sprint cars owned by his Hall of Fame father Bobby Allen, said he will remain involved with the team in another capacity.

Im just going to get this out there. Im stepping away from my driving career, Allen posted. Its been a good ride as a driver. With having a family now, I feel its best for me to focus on being there for them. Though, Im stepping away as a driver, I am still going to be very involved with racing just taking on a new role with our program. I look forward taking care of everything we have built, helping my dad with whatever he needs and being a leader in our Shark Racing program, and doing all the things Ive always done with our Shark Racing team but just wont be in the seat, which Im happy about.

Allen, who has five World of Outlaws victories and a single High Limit Racing win, emphasized that his young family is his priority.

My family is my number one priority in my life, he said. I look forward having to a new driver being in the car and helping with whatever it takes for that driver to be successful on the race track. We still plan to race our full schedule for this season.

I also look forward to being able to be there for Logan (Schuchart) as well, not competing against each other I am excited to be able to be there for him as much as I possibly can and how ever I can.

Racing is my life, I love it, and I love being at the track, but my time behind the wheel is over. Im happy about that, and I look forward to this new chapter in my racing career!
