Why Justin Allgaier’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Richmond Sweep is Even More Special

Justin Allgaier completed a weekend sweep at the Richmond Raceway in the NASCAR Xfinity series. However, what made both wins all the more incredible was the fact that he had a completely different pit crew for each race.

During the second race, in spite of losing a 9-second lead due to a caution, he simply put his head down and charged. With this win, he grabbed 12 more playoff points.

Speaking to FOX Sports, he observed that Austin Cindric and Chase Briscoe performed exceptionally well. Allgaier also noted that his teammates have also racked up a few wins, earning bonus points in the process.

According to Justin Allgaier, the midfield pack is so tight that every point will count in the playoffs. He confessed, “I don’t particularly like being in this situation, I would love to have a bigger buffer.

“I remember a few years ago, we won five races in the regular season and went into the playoffs with all these bonus points, and failed miserably.”

What else did Allgaier say after his Richmond sweep in NASCAR?

What he concluded was that such a situation could swing either way. However, he insisted that the points do not decide the championship all the time.

The driver also declared that he was proud of the team’s efforts, and he believes that opportunity needs preparation. He then revealed that he won both races with two different pit crews. In spite of this, everyone worked seamlessly, and that was a testament to the idea of preparation.

Speaking after the race, he said, “I knew how good our car was all day. I knew we had speed, and I knew when we needed to go, we could. I had a very frustrating day.”
