Justin Allgaier is looking to have a repeat performance of his first career win at Bristol Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Nationwide series on Saturday.
His exciting win and battle over teammate and eventual series champion Brad Keselowski was as exciting of an ending we had in 2010.
Now sitting fifth in points and 16 points off the lead Allgaier is looking to make it two in a row at BMS.
In his last two Spring races he hasn’t finished worse than fifth but his best starting spot was 14th in 2009.
At BMS, Allgaier has two top fives and two top finishes along with his win.
He also carries a lot of momentum coming into the weekend with his second place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway; this weekend could bring Turner Motorsports their second win of the season.
"I can't wait to get back to Bristol Motor Speedway, especially having won this race last year. It's such an awesome track with a lot of character. I have a lot of confidence our BRANDT team will capitalize on our second place finish at Las Vegas and hopefully we will find ourselves in victory lane at the end of the day."
For Kenny Wallace this year has been a rebound and much seen improvement performance wise.
Wallace is sitting eighth in the standings and arguably been one of the most consistent drivers early on this season.
One of Wallace’s best BMS finishes was eighth in 2006, his average start was 22.1 and his average finish was 19.9.
Wallace should improve all three of those stats this weekend as he is looking to find victory lane for the first time this season.
Some fast facts on BMS and the NNS race this weekend.
Carl Edwards has four consecutive top five finishes at BMS for the Spring race. Kevin Harvick has five victories in the NNS and leads the series with 13 top fives.
My drivers to watch are Allgaier, Harvick and points leader Reed Sorenson.
The Scotts EZ Seed 300 is Saturday on ESPN at 2 pm ET.
