xfinity justin allgaier races at lv playoff (1)

Despite his No. 2 ranking in the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ playoff standings, driver Justin Allgaier remains a bit anxious. The 15-year veteran experienced too much during his 558 National Series outings to feel over-confident in his chances to return to next month’s Championship 4 event. 

Allgaier’s postseason run started a bit slow. After opening with a P10 at a post-season opening event at Darlington, he compiled a five-event average finish of P27.6. That certainly would create anxiety. 

In the past two weeks, Allgaier rebounded with a P7 at the Charlotte Road Course on Oct. 12 and a P3 at Las Vegas last Saturday.

Did the consecutive top-10s ease his postseason concerns? 

 Nope. 

“Proud of the team, proud of the effort,” Allgaier said, as reported by NASCAR.com. “I mean, to rebound after the (five) weeks we’ve had or whatever and to come here and to have the day like we had. We executed all day. We did all the right things, and ultimately we’ll walk out of here with a solid finish. Good points day. Just wish I was standing over there in Victory Lane.” 

Allgaier led 42 laps and claimed Stage 2 in Sin City. He posted the most playoff points, despite being slowed by debris forming on his grille during the third stage. He enters next Saturday’s Credit One NASCAR Amex Credit 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway 32 points above the cutoff line. 

With two more Round of 8 events remaining, Allgaier remains a touch uneasy. 

“Until I have about 80 points going into the next round, I’m not going to be satisfied,” Allgaier said. “This team has worked really hard, and we gave a lot of points away over those (five) weeks that we were really bad. And I’m proud of the effort. I’m proud of the drive we had today (and) I’m proud of all the things we did right. I’m excited for Homestead because I think some of the things we’ve been working on, obviously, we feel like (at) Homestead will be a big benefit.”
