You should probably just speak for yourself. Unless that’s the royal “we”.

He’s one of the worst drivers in cup racing. If you put him back in xfinity he’d be a little below average. “We” don’t love to see this. Maybe you but not we.

Poles are great but more times than not they don’t win…pit selection is huge though

Only if you dont know why. When Turn2 started getting shade, that when Allgiaer started sliding up the track. Sucks to have a crappy crew chief who doesnt understand track temps

Donna Riccelli September 24, 2023 at 3:46 pm

Did you watch the race? Allgaier didn’t “slide up the track” on turn 2 bc of it being in the shade and too slick. He had trouble with the restart and picked up a lot of debris by the time he got to turn 2. He lost a lot of position, but when his tires were fully inflated and he got the debris off, his crew chief told he had him in cycle and not to worry. Allgaier said ok, now go radio silent and let me go to work. That is a good relationship between crew chief and driver. Low air pressure on tires for restarts is the norm, not a bad call from a crew chief.

@Donna Riccelli he literally slid up the track twice on turn2 after it was shaded, and refused to gun the corner again after that. Yes i watched it, literally watched it in the f’in stands Live at the track. And what are you talking about “cylve off the debris” when he was literally the driver with the freshest tires the entire Final stage. He literally wouldve just won the race if he hadnt have pitted while the entire field was a lap down

Donna Riccelli September 24, 2023 at 4:28 pm

@YT only likes whyt peeple I did watch the race. But I totally disagree with your assessment that it’s bc of his crew chief. Everyone was slipping and sliding. (and I honestly thought you were talking about the restart where he lost his place in leading for the first time. My bad on that.) But I just don’t see how you can say that he has a bad crew chief. Allgaier has had a good season and has a very good shot at winning the championship. You can’t have this type of success with a crappy crew chief. Just saying.

Too bad there are 35 other cars out there with you tomorrow.

Kaden Lemon September 23, 2023 at 8:08 pm

I seem to recall him beating those 35 cars on 2 different occasions. I also seem to remember him pointing his way into the playoffs by simply being better than most of the field all season.

@Kaden Lemon One occasion. In what? 7 years? Reddick has humiliated him.

Bubba’s shown alot more consistency this season

He’s great at the mile and a half as well as Dega

He’s showing speed with this pole, and has a legitimate shot at the round of 8
