Born and raised in Chanute, Kan., John Allen has become one of the most successful drivers in the Modified division. John started racing at the age of 16, driving Street Stocks in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.

The 1999 season saw John dominate the NCRA Modified Series, winning numerous features throughout the Midwest and collecting his first NCRA Modified Series Championship. The 2000 NCRA season proved to be a close race in points, culminating the last week of the season with John defending his title. The 2001 season saw A&A Racing and John Allen making it three in a row for an unprecedented third consecutive NCRA Modified Series Championship. In the 2002 season, John finished third in NCRA Modified Series points, closing the gap with the leaders in the final races.
