Justin Allgaier is almost like family. They live, they don’t live, but they’re from not a hundred miles up the road in Springfield, Illinois. Funny story. Justin’s dad, Mike Allgaier, we call him Gator.” 

“Gator called me about a month ago. ‘Herman, how many starts do you have in the Xfinity series? We’re coming after you.’ I said I have 545 starts, and I’m the mayor of the Xfinity series. I have the most starts. So anyway, I’m looking forward to Justin Allgaier beating my most starts record. I will go to the racetrack in his perfect scenario because he’s like family. So congratulations to Justin and his whole family on the big win in the Xfinity series.”

For Allgaier, this triumph marked the end of a 26-race quest for victory, at the hallowed grounds of Daytona. It was a journey defined by heartbreaks.
