Justin Allgaier took home a $100,000 bonus by winning the first NASCAR XFINITY Series Dash 4 Cash race at Phoenix Raceway last month.
He’ll try to earn another $100,000 when the Dash 4 Cash competition returns in Saturday’s Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway (1 p.m. ET on FS1).
To take home the bonus, Allgaier doesn’t even need to win the race. He simply needs to beat the four Dash 4 Cash-eligible drivers to the finish line at the end of the race. The two top-finishing NASCAR XFINITY Series points earning drivers in each of the first two stages make up the four-driver Dash 4 Cash field for the final stage.
Allgaier has run well at Bristol throughout his career. In 12 starts at the Tennessee short track, he boasts one win (2010), five top fives and seven top 10s. He has finished in the top five in his last three Bristol races.
“Bristol has just been one of those places where the very first time I turned laps around the race track I felt comfortable,” Allgaier said. “Last year we he had great finishes, so I’m ready to head back there and hopefully pick back up where we left off with our Cheney Brothers Chevrolet. Plus it’s a Dash 4 Cash race. How great would it be to get another $100,000 for JR Motorsports? We’ve won one already this year, so I’d like nothing more than to go out there and grab another one for this team.”
