Camping World RV Sales 301 | July 13, 2014
Land of Lobster…Justin Allgaier will be making his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). He has three top 10s in five NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) starts at NHMS and has completed all scheduled laps. NHMS is the first track less than 1.5 miles in length that the NSCS has raced on since Dover International Speedway in early June.
Victory Junction…In honor of Victory Junction Gang Camp’s 10th Anniversary, this weekend at NHMS the No. 51 AccuDoc Solutions Chevy will carry a Victory Junction decal on the c-post. The camp provides life changing camping experiences to children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses. Since 2004, Victory Junction has enriched the lives of more than 20,000 children and their families.For more information, visit www.victoryjunction.org.
Daytona Recap…Allgaier returned to Daytona International Speedway (DIS) for the second and final time of the season last week. Unfortunately, rain was the theme of the weekend. Allgaier and the No. 51 team earned the 31st starting spot for what was supposed to be a Saturday night race at DIS. However, it was delayed until Sunday at 11 a.m., due to rain. Once the race finally started, Allgaier worked his way forward at the 2.5-mile superspeedway but was caught up in the second big melee of the day on lap 99. After a torrential downpour, NASCAR called the race and Allgaier and the No. 51 AccuDoc Solutions Chevy finished 25th for HScott Motorsports.
Sunoco Rookie of the Year…After graduating to the NSCS this season, Allgaier is competing for Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors in the No. 51 AccuDoc Solutions Chevy. In 2009, Allgaier took home the Rookie of the Year title in the NNS. After Daytona, Allgaier is currently third in the standings, behind Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon.
Justin Allgaier on New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“I’m looking forward to New Hampshire [Motor Speedway]. It’s a shorter track and for whatever reason I really like the smaller tracks. This weekend is my first time in a Sprint Cup car at New Hampshire, so I’m curious to see how I will do.”
Crew Chief Steve Addington on New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
“We get back to our regular style of racing this weekend at New Hampshire [Motor Speedway] after superspeedway racing last weekend at Daytona [International Speedway]. We just need to be smooth and consistent this weekend. Getting track time will be key for Justin this weekend.”
