News and Notes
Home Turf…The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) commences its two
weekends at Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS) with Sunday night’s Coca-Cola
600. The 600-mile Memorial Weekend race is the longest NSCS race of the
season. Allgaier has two NSCS starts at the 1.5-mile speedway, with a best finish
of 15th and two laps led, both in the Fall 2014 race. Crew Chief Steve Addington
has one win at CMS, earned in May 2010.
600 Miles of Remembrance…To honor military service members and their
families on Memorial Weekend, all NSCS car windshields will display names of
service men and women instead of the driver’s name. The No. 51 Chevy will
carry the name of United States Air Force Tech. Sgt. Adam K. Ginett. Tech. Sgt.
Ginett was killed by an IED blast in January of 2010.
See Justin…On Sunday, May 24 from 3:00 – 3:15 p.m. EDT, Allgaier will appear
for a Q&A at the Team Chevy stage located in the CMS Fan Zone.
Sprint Showdown Recap…Last Friday, Allgaier took part in the Sprint
Showdown for the opportunity to advance to the Sprint All-Star Race, an
exhibition race with a one million dollar purse. He qualified the No. 51 BRANDT
Chevy in the 14th starting spot. After the two scheduled segments, Allgaier
ended the evening in the BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevy in the eighth
position for HScott Motorsports.
Justin Allgaier on Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“I always like racing at Charlotte [Motor Speedway] for several reasons. I like the
track itself. We start the Coke 600 during the day when the track is hot and slick,
and then we end the race in the dark. It’s almost like an endurance race for us,
since it’s the longest race of the year. Most of us drivers live in the Charlotte area,
so we’ve been able to spend a lot more time than usual at home. There has been
plenty of go-kart and golf events going on in the area to keep me plenty busy.
BRANDT Professional Agriculture is on the car this weekend and hopefully I can
get them their first top 10.”
Crew Chief Steve Addington on Charlotte Motor Speedway:
“Keeping up with the changing track conditions is the most difficult part about this
weekend at Charlotte [Motor Speedway]. Typically, you won’t see the cars that
are really good at the beginning of the race, be the same cars that are really
good at the end. Justin really likes this track, and he would’ve had a better finish
in his first Cup start at the track had we not had a part failure. He did a great job
in the fall race, and I think he can get another good finish this weekend.”
