Key Highlights

  • The wreck collected 20 drivers and changed the dynamics of the race altogether. Allgaier was the race leader at the time of the wreck and Hamlin had been running behind him.
  • There was just enough space for Hamlin to get by Allgaier and the veteran went for it with a push from behind.
  • Just as he was about to pass, Allgaier pulled a late block and ended up turning both of them to the inside.
  • Several cars behind them choked up as well. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHamlin said on his podcast that what he made was definitely an aggressive move.
  • But he also stood ground that he was going to take every opportunity he got to take the lead and that he had made up his mind 100 yards before actually making the move that he was going to do it.
