What else did Justin Allgaier say?

The 34-year-old admitted that he was at a stage where he was ready to walk away from the sport. Justin Allgaier confessed, “I was done. I despised race cars at that point. The only exciting part for me was the fact that I knew I could come here and I could go for wins and a championship.”

Allgaier revealed that when he was in the Cup Series, it was one of the ‘coolest moments’ in his entire racing career. This is because the Cup Series is something that every aspiring NASCAR driver strives to achieve.

During his early Cup Series days, Justin Allgaier had some good runs, finishing in the Top-15 a couple of times.

Naturally, he was quite excited when the next year rolled in. Around that time, Allgaier’s team made a number of changes, but some of them did not work as well as they should have.

As a result, he and the team struggled heavily and were often slower than their rivals.
