No. 16 Action Industries Camaro ZL1
AJ Allmendinger qualified 10th for the Würth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway.
Durning the first lap, Allmendinger had taken over eighth place. On lap 27, he reported his No. 16 Action Industries Chevy was starting to build free. The caution came out on lap 39 and Allmendinger told crew chief, Travis Mack, he was happy with the ride quality and how the car turned, but the rear of the car went away the last 10 laps of the run. The team came to pit road for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment. Allmendinger restarted in 12th and went on to finish the opening stage under caution in 11th place.
During the stage break, Allmendinger told the team he was happy with the last change. The No. 16 restarted in 10th place for stage two. Allmendinger reported he was freer on entry this run and asked the team to make a big adjustment on the next stop. Under green on lap 181, Allmendinger came to pit road for four tires, fuel and adjustments. When the caution came out at the end of stage two, Allmendinger was in 12th place.
Allmendinger came to pit road during the stage break and restarted in 14th place on lap 259. On lap 303, Allmendinger reported his No. 16 was a tick tight in the rear, but it was way more comfortable to drive. The team made a scheduled green-flag pit stop on lap 319, and the caution came out on lap 329, before green flag stops cycled through. Allmendinger took the wave around to get back on the lead lap and restarted in 15th on lap 329. The caution came back out on lap 330; Allmendinger was running 13th. Following the restart, the race ran green the remainder of the race and Allmendinger finished 13th.
“We had a really solid day; the No. 16 Action Industries Camaro ZL1 was really consistent, and the pit crew did a great job of keeping our track position. We battled handling all day, and track position was key. All in all, running inside the top 15 all day and having top-10 speed is great. Our day, along with Daniel’s [Hemric] top-10 finish, is great for the organization and our momentum.”
