On a hot day at the Nashville Superspeedway, Justin Orgaier realized his dream with one of the best race cars ever.
Argaie, who led five times on 134 laps and swept the first two stages of the Tennessee Lottery 250 on Saturday, won the NASCARXfinity series for the first time on a 1.33 mile concrete truck in Lebanon, Tennessee. 18th of the season and his career.
Allgaier's No. 7 JR Motorsport Chevrolet crossed the finish line 4.513 seconds earlier than the runner-up Trevor Bayne, who overcame the interference penalty on the pit road. It was evaluated when two of his No. 18 Toyota tires rolled behind Gasman on the pit stall of pole winner Riley Herbst.
"This guitar (given to the winner) has been on my bucket list for a long time," he made his eighth start in Nashville in 2009. Allgaier said. ..
After a 10-year hiatus in a track race, Allgaier finished second last year.
When asked if he had ever driven a better race car, Allgaier replied immediately.
"I haven't thought about it until now," he said. "What a race, man. We've been here for a long time, and I love this race track. I was trying to win a terrible victory and couldn't do it.
" Today Was like a dirt race. It was smooth, hot and slippery .... I have a guitar to take home, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. "
Chevrolet driver has been around for the past seven times. Won the Xfinity series races, and the JR motorsport driver has won five of them. Allgaier's two-stage wins were the 11th and 12th straights on JRM's oval track.
Herbst finished in 3rd place, followed by Ty Gibbs and Sam Mayer. ..
Ryan Pries, Jeffrey Earnhardt, Austin Hill, Ryan Seeg and Brett Moffitt have won the top ten. And third, 32 over Allgaier.
Miss gave Bain a chance to compete for victory.
"We drove second, twice from the back," Bayne said. "In the second stage, I came with (Herbst) and unintentionally attacked a member of the pit crew, which can happen. Then I retreated to 15th place and then to 2nd place.
"Then we had loose wheels and had to go to the back and drive behind and caught Allgaier. He's my buddy, Gator, congratulations. Yes. I'm happy for him, man, I wanted to win the guitar and win here in Nashville.
"We're all in the car I feel like I've done it right and I feel like I've done everything right behind the handle. I need to get rid of the mistakes. I'll win because I'll need all the parts of this deal. "
Herbst admitted that he could not challenge Argaie's rule.
"I think the whole field was nothing in 7," Herbst said. "I think he was in cruise control all day, but our Monster Energy Ford Mustang was really good. I'm proud of us as a group. How to do it.
"I and the team messed up the pit road several times, so I had to clean up a little bit there, but overall it was a good day. There was a good thing with Paul. This is what we do. All you have to do is knock on the door and it will open in time. "
