No. 10 NASCAR Chevy Recovers To Win Xfinity Series Nashville 2023: Video

In an Xfinity Series race that went double Overtime at the end, AJ Allmendinger guided the No. 10 NASCAR Chevy Camaro to the win, recovering from an early incident to show the field just how fast his race car was on June 24th, 2023.

When the green flag fell on Stage 2 of the race, Allmendinger’s No. 10 Camaro was involved in a multicar crash that was sparked when the No. 21 Camaro of Austin Hill got loose beneath the No. 19 Toyota TRD Supra of Ty Gibbs, sweeping the No. 77 Camaro of Carson Hocevar into the wreck as well. Gibbs and Hocevar were unable to continue, but Allmendinger collected the No. 10 NASCAR Chevy and set out to get back toward the front.

Despite minor damage, Allmendinger was able to guide the No. 10 Camaro back to the front, making the winning pass with 12 laps to go around the No. 48 Camaro of Parker Kligerman, who was running low on fuel. Ultimately, Allmendinger survived two Overtime finishes and held off the No. 98 Ford Mustang of Riley Herbst to win.

“I love winning on ovals because I know a lot of people doubt me on an oval,” Allmendinger said, referencing his success as a road-course racer in NASCAR. “I will be honest, I was shocked on the initial start, I went down and made it three wide and thought nothing on it, didn’t even drive my car that hard and started wrecking, so that kind of raised my eyebrows, it’s a lot slicker than I expected. So the next couple starts, just tried to chill and get into the rhythm of the race.”

He added, “I just knew more than anything I needed a good re-start and to get in Turn 1 clean.”
