Whilst speaking to FOX Sports reporter Bob Pockrass (below) after the race, Allgaier shouldered the blame for the incident. He explained:”Causing that last wreck was not how I wanted our night to end.”You know, that outside row we were in kind of stacked up and I don’t know, I run in the back of Jeb and to kind of keep from crashing him I head to the middle and unfortunately, I think the 32 was coming with a big run, and just too late.

Disappointing, but I don’t know, I don’t know what we could have done differently right there.”In 2024, Daytona International Speedway underwent considerable renovation, including expanded grandstands and repairs to the Turn 4 tunnels that were damaged by Hurricane Milton.Allgaier is set to bounce back quickly as he secured a spot in the Daytona 500’s starting lineup for JR Motorsports, marking the team’s ambitious foray into the NASCAR Cup Series.For the latest NASCAR news, head over to Newsweek Sports.NASCAR Xfinity Series: United Rentals 300 Race ResultsJesse Love – Whelen ChevroletSam Mayer – Audibel FordSheldon Creed – Friends of Jaclyn FordCarson Kvapil – Bass Pro Shops/Clarence Tech ChevroletTaylor Gray – Operation 300 ToyotaHarrison Burton – Dead On Tools FordJordan Anderson – Jordan Anderson ChevroletDean Thompson – Thompson Pipe Group ToyotaJeremy Clements – One Stop/A1 South Electric ChevroletPatrick Emerling – Firman Power Equipment ChevroletMatt DiBenedetto – Viking Motorsports ChevroletChristian Eckes – Celsius ChevroletCaesar Bacarella – Mongoose Power Solutions ChevroletJosh Bilicki – Rta’s Italian Ice ChevroletJoey Gase – NCPR Race Against Crime ChevroletBubba Burton – Golden Corral ChevroletRyan Truex – BB Printing Co ToyotaJustin Allgaier – BRANDT ChevroletRyan Sieg – Sci Aps FordJosh Williams – Alloy Employer Services ChevroletLandon Honeycutt – DPR ChevroletAnthony Alfredo – Dude Wipes ChevroletRyan Ellis – Classic Collision ChevroletSammy Smith – Pilot/Flying J ToyotaJustin Bonsignore – M3 Technology ToyotaGreg Van Alst – CB Fabricating ChevroletConnor Zilisch – WeatherTech ChevroletWilliam Sawalich – Soundgear ToyotaParker Retzlaff – Visual Pak/Rewind It 10 ChevroletBrennan Poole – Mac Door Systems ChevroletGarrett Smithley – Hire Heroes/The Veterans Ranch ChevroletKris Wright – First National Bank Corp ChevroletAustin Hill – Bennett Transportation ChevroletBlaine Perkins – WERNER ChevroletNick Sanchez – Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers ChevroletKyle Sieg – Sci Aps FordBrandon Jones – Menards/Switch ToyotaDaniel Dye – Champion Container Chevrolet
