No. 7 Xfinity NASCAR Chevy Finds Victory At Darlington: Video

After having hopes of winning snuffed out by a blown tire at Phoenix earlier this year, Justin Allgaier broke his so-called “curse” at Darlington on May 11th, 2024. Finally, that familiar red No. 7 NASCAR Chevy Camaro SS has a win.

Not only did Allgaier win, but he absolutely dominated. He led the second-place car, Austin Hill’s No. 21 NASCAR Chevy Camaro SS, by 3.407 seconds across the line, capping off a stellar night with a trophy. He’s also now tied with Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the most top-10 finishes in the division.

“I just wanted [spotter] Eddie [D’Hondt] to call ‘White flag,'” said Allgaier. “We’ve had such a heck of a year. We’ve led a ton of laps, and we haven’t been able to do it…”

He added, “I think having a little gray hair today helped me out, though. Those long green-flag runs, and being able to know what’s worked in the past here… I didn’t know if the day would come when I’d be able to match [team owner] Dale Jr. Not only is he a great boss, but he is a really good mentor. To come here and be able to tie him, to be able to take over the all-time top 10s, man, there’s nothing better.”

Cole Custer’s No. 00 Ford Mustang Dark Horse finished third, followed by Sam Mayer’s No. 1 NASCAR Chevy Camaro and Aric Almirola’s No. 20 Toyota TRD Supra in fourth and fifth, respectively.
