Justin Allgaier NNS Preview: Kentucky Speedway II

Returning to Kentucky…The NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) will make its second and final stop of the 2013 season at Kentucky Speedway this weekend for Saturday night racing under the lights. The June race was shortened by 30 laps due to rain and Allgaier finished 13th. Allgaier looks to continue his streak of all top-10 qualifying spots at Kentucky. His average start is 6.3. He also has four top-10 finishes in six starts at Kentucky.

 

This Week’s Camaro…This weekend, the No. 31 BRANDT Chevrolet team will utilize chassis TSM-404. TSM-404 has raced twice this season: Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.

 

TV Time…This weekend, Allgaier will join the FOX Sports 1 broadcast booth from 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. EDT for the ARCA Racing Series ZLOOP 150 on Friday, September 20. The No. 31 BRANDT Camaro will have an in-car camera sponsored by Chevrolet. You can watch this weekend’s race on Saturday, September 21 on ESPNEWS at 7:00 p.m. EDT.

 

Meet Justin…Allgaier will sign autographs with his Turner Scott Motorsports teammates and other NNS drivers at the NNS autograph session on Saturday, September 21 from 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. The session will be held in the Fan Zone hospitality tent, located next to the ARCA garage.

 

Recapping Chicago…The NNS made its second and final stop of the season at Chicagoland Speedway for a Saturday afternoon matinee. Before the 200-lap race on Saturday, Allgaier qualified his No. 31 WinField Chevrolet in the 20th spot. Late in the Dollar General 300 powered by Coca-Cola, Allgaier was running in the top 10 and made contact with the wall, causing him to pit for minor repairs. With just a few laps remaining in the race, Allgaier was able to work his way back to the 12th position.

 

Crew chief Scott Zipadelli on Kentucky Speedway:

“Kentucky [Speedway] has a lot of character. We have two practice sessions, and neither of them are at night like the race is, so that always presents a challenge because of how the track changes at night. The weather is forecasting to be cool on Saturday night, but it will be warm during practice on Friday, so that will be another challenge.”

 

Justin Allgaier on Kentucky Speedway:

“In June at Kentucky [Speedway], the race was shortened by rain. We would have had a better finish if it wasn’t for the rain. It’s not supposed to rain on Saturday night, but it will be cool which will be nice in the car. I typically run pretty well at Kentucky, so I’m looking forward to a good result. It’s also a night race which puts on a great show for the fans.”
