Reigning NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Justin Allgaier was hoping to secure his third win of the 2025 season this weekend, but instead, he recored his first DNF of the year.
Allgaier led a race-high 99 laps at Texas and appeared to be the only driver who could go head-to-head with Kyle Larson, but their battle never saw its natural end. Both were driving for JR Motorsports and as the duo neared a round of green-flag pit stops, both had to evade a slow car as it moved up the track abruptly. That car was piloted by Kris Wright and it turns out that this particular moment was only foreshadowing for what was to come.
