Kaulig Racing Race Recap | South Point 400

No. 16 Celsius Camaro ZL1

Start: 20th
Stage 1 Finish: 17th
Stage 2 Finish: 21st
Finish: 19th

AJ Allmendinger qualified 20th in the No. 16 Celsius Chevrolet for the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Early in the race, Allmendinger reported the car was building tight, as it did in practice, but he no longer had rear security. Allmendinger continued to battle the handling of the car for the duration of the race, fighting hard to gain position in the top 15. Allmendinger avoided a late race wreck, spinning while trying to avoid a wrecking competitor. The No. 16 did not have any damage, but needed to come to pit road for fresh tires. With 14 laps remaining, Allmendinger restarted in 21st-place. Allmendinger finished 19th in the South Point 400.

No. 10 Sugarlands Shine x Field & Stream Camaro ZL1

Start: 35th
Stage 1 Finish: 35th
Stage 2 Finish: 34th
Finish: 37th

Ty Dillon and the No. 10 Sugarlands Shine x Field & Stream Chevy started Sunday’s South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway from the 35th position. With an ill-handling car from the start, the team worked to make adjustments throughout the race, but were unable to improve the Sugarlands Shine x Field & Stream Chevy. With the call to pit for the final time late in the race for a routine green-flag pit stop, a miscommunication between competitors resulted in contact to the rear of the No. 10 Chevy and ended the team’s day early. Dillon was credited with a 37th-place finish.
