• Justin Allgaier heads into the opening race of the Round of
8 third in the NXS Playoff standings, 10 points above the
cutline for the Championship 4.
• In 10 NXS starts at Kansas, Allgaier has three top fives and
seven top 10s with 17 laps led. Earlier this season, the
Illinois native finished inside the top five in each of the first
two stages and came home with a 10th-place finish.
• On tracks measuring 1.5-miles in length Allgaier has two
victories, both of them coming at Chicagoland Speedway.
This season, he has four top fives and seven top 10s in 10
starts on mile-and-a-half tracks, with three stage wins.
“The first round of the playoffs didn’t exactly go the way we
wanted them to, so I’m extremely glad that we were able to
advance to the Round of 8 and get a clean slate as we look
ahead to Kansas. We’ve been fast on mile-and-a-half tracks
this season and we ran well there earlier this season, so that
gives me confidence going into this weekend. Jason Burdett
(crew chief) and all the guys on this BRANDT Professional
Agriculture team have been working hard and we’re ready to
get things back on track and make a run for the
championship.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
