Justin Allgaier Earns First Top-10 Finish Since 2015
Even though Justin Allgaier caused three crashes in Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race, he managed to keep it clean and evaded all the wrecks in the Daytona 500 to earn an unexpected ninth-place finish -- his best in a NASCAR Cup Series race since finishing eighth at Bristol in 2015 and only his second top-10 finish in his career. It was a solid debut for JR Motorsports as an organization in the Cup Series, although admittedly Allgaier wasn't much of a contender in the race as he had an average running position of only 22nd and his driver rating was 18th, but his pass differential of 52 was the highest in the field. Nonetheless, at Daytona avoiding wrecks is more important than being competitive, and his vast experience reaped great dividends for him on Sunday.
