Allen "A. J." Moyer[1] (born October 6, 1987) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet SS for his own team, Moyer-Petroniro Racing.
On April 11, 2021, Moyer would announce on Twitter that he would be making his debut with Wayne Peterson Racing at the 2021 Herr's Potato Chips 200.[2] He would finish 9th, garnering his first top 10.[3] He would make one more start at the 2021 Sioux Chief PowerPEX 200, finishing 15th.
In 2022, it was announced that Moyer would run three races with Peterson, with those races being at Talladega Superspeedway, Salem Speedway, and the season finale at Toledo Speedway.[4] Although he would not compete at Salem, he would compete at Talladega, where he would finish 23rd, Bristol Motor Speedway, where he would finish 23rd due to a crash, and Toledo, where he would finish sixteenth.
Moyer ran nearly the full season in the main ARCA Series in 2023 driving for Wayne Peterson Racing, mostly in their No. 06 car. (He ran every race until the race at Kansas in September, which he missed along with the races at Salem and Toledo at the end of the season.) He finished 7th in the final points standings.
On January 9, 2024, Moyer announced that he would be starting his own ARCA team in 2024, Moyer-Petroniro Racing, with co-owner Randy Petroniro, who was a previous sponsor of his. The team will field the No. 88 car part-time with Moyer running all six races of the General Tire Superspeedway Challenge (Daytona, Talladega, both Kansas races, Charlotte and Michigan) and Randy Jr, the son of the co-owner, making his ARCA debut running some short track races.[5]
A. J. is the son of the 1981 ARCA Racing Series champion Larry Moyer.[1] He is not related to Stephanie Moyer, who like A. J. also made her ARCA debut in 2021 and has competed in the series since then. A. J. is from Florida and Stephanie is from Pennsylvania.
