AJ Allmendinger qualified 18th for the Go Bowling at The Glen.On the first lap, Allmendinger gained two spots where he settled in 16th place. He reported his No. 16 Grizzly Nicotine Pouches Chevy was very loose before coming to pit road on lap 17 under green for a scheduled pit stop. By staying out under caution and running out the second stage, Allmendinger was able to earn seven stage points. He went on to finish in 11th place.
“Overall, I felt like we maximized our day. I wish we could have been a little bit faster all weekend. I’m proud of Trent [Owens] and the 16 group; we were able to make some good changes to be more competitive for the race. I messed up the strategy but honestly, I’m not sure how much that really impacted our race. We got stage points and earned an 11th place. We were hoping for better, but I’m proud of the effort from everyone to get the most out of our weekend.”
