We interrupt the 2023 NASCAR Cup playoffs with an unexpected but impressive victory by A.J. Allmendinger at the Charlotte Roval that left him in tears.
Allmendinger didn’t move into the lead for the first time until he passed Kyle Busch on the start to the final stage but had to navigate five restarts over the final 31 laps. With less than 10 laps to go, William Byron moved past Busch into the second position and closed to Allmendinger’s rear bumper several times, but the 41-year-old veteran deftly held him at bay and cleared him by 0.666 seconds at the checkered flag. The win is the first for Allmendinger and his No.
299-second Stage 1 win over his teammate Wallace. Chastain was third, Truex fourth and Bell fifth. Stage 2 Although he planned to pit before the stage break, Elliott instead claimed the Stage 2 win under caution when Josh Bilicki wrecked in Turn 3 with two of 25 laps remaining. Elliott was headed to pit road for a green flag stop but cut back on the track just before pit road was closed for the caution.
