#perhaps him making his potential final start when justin blew the regular season title was a secret blessing in disguise?

Within just a few laps, Allgaier went from a legacy-making drive to one of the biggest mistakes in Championship 4 history around a car that was going to pit soon anyway, and it could very well be his undoing. Just brutal!

EDIT: 8 minutes later...

And he commits a restart violation! And a pit road speeding penalty! Oh my goodness! Talk about a great drive gone bad! He choked away the regular season championship, and now he's choked away his 7th shot at a real championship! Absolutely insane!

EDIT: One incredible comeback drive later...

Welp, time for a change of plans!

Wow! What a comeback and what a race! Allgaier really exorcised a decade and a half of demons in one stage! Taking full advantages of the chances given, making the two greatest passes of his life, and surviving two chaotic overtimes to finally seal the deal! And meanwhile, what an awesome way for Riley Herbst to dominate and then catch up with a mess of a car for a wild win on its own. (Okay, it was a tad dirty, but I doubt Justin's complaining.)

Oh, and now Rick Allen is getting farewells from the NBC/CW booth 🥺 Ngl I hope this isn't the last we hear of him! Maybe reunite him with FS1 and the Trucks, especially if Adam Alexander moves to the CW!
