Justin Allgaier, driver of the No. 7 NASCAR Chevy Camaro in the Xfinity Series, held off a hard-charging No. 20 Toyota TRD Supra of John Hunter Nemecheck to win at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 29th, 2023.
Allgaier’s No. 7 Camaro held the lead for 83 of 200 laps, and managed his fuel at the end of the race in order to win after a restart on Lap 135.
“I’m speechless, man,” said Allgaier, who beat Nemecheck to the line by over seven seconds. “I didn’t know how much [fuel] to save. Just lucky we had enough… I just cannot say enough about [crew chief] Jim Pohlman, everybody on the No. 7 team. It’s not been for lack of speed this year. We’ve battled. Tonight, was kind of the opposite. We had to go slow to go fast.”
The Xfinity Series race was scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 27th, but rain got the better of the day’s activities. Then, the rain continued on Sunday, May 28th, forcing the Xfinity Series race – and the Cup Series’ Charlotte 600 – to be rescheduled on Monday, May 29th. However, once again, the skies opened up and paused the Xfinity Series race on Monday, and NASCAR elected to halt the event and run the Charlotte 600 instead, after which the Xfinity race finally resumed and concluded late Monday night.
