Recapping Bristol…The NNS made its second and final stop of the 2013 season at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS) for racing underneath the Friday night lights. The one-day show meant a long day for Allgaier and the BRANDT racing team with a two hour, 50 minute practice session to start Friday morning. After running 146 laps in the only practice session of the weekend, Allgaier finished second on the practice chart. Qualifying for the Food City 250 began in the afternoon on Friday. After a short delay due to rain, Allgaier laid down a lap time of 15.382 seconds which put him in the fourth starting position for the 250-lap race and continued his streak of all top-10 starts in the fall race at BMS. After four cautions, three pit stops and staying in the top-10 all night, Allgaier brought his No. 31 BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet Camaro home in the fourth position for TSM.

 

Crew chief Scott Zipadelli on Atlanta Motor Speedway:

“Atlanta [Motor Speedway] is another mile-and-a-half track and we’ve been working on our program. We went to Nashville [Superspeedway] this week with a few of the other Chevrolet teams to work on our program, and we learned a lot. We have a couple of practice sessions this weekend, one in the evening which will be closer to race conditions and one in the morning. Justin has consistently improved every time he’s been there, so I look forward to a great weekend.”

 

Justin Allgaier on Atlanta Motor Speedway:

“I’m ready to go to Atlanta [Motor Speedway]. I always enjoy night racing and it puts on a good show for the fans. We tested at Nashville [Superspeedway] this week to help with our intermediate track program. I’ve been able to improve my finishing position every time I’ve been to AMS, so I hope to do the same again this race weekend.”
