Justin Allgaier clinched his place in the Championship 4 for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs in dramatic fashion on Saturday afternoon, charging through the field in a green-white-checkered restart to improve 14 positions to cross the finish line for the final time in third. Allgaier, who paced the field for 11 laps and scored the most stage points of any playoff driver throughout the day, has now locked into the Championship 4 for the eighth time in his NXS career.

Taking the green from the eighth position, the driver of the BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet methodically worked his way through the field, claiming the runner-up position at the end of each stage before securing the top-three result. The 2024 NXS Champion will now set his sights on a title defense in two weeks at Phoenix Raceway following next weekend's final race in the Round of 8 at Martinsville Speedway.

Justin Allgaier, driver No. 7 BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet

"I am so proud of Jim Pohlman and everyone on this BRANDT Professional Agriculture team. To be able to lock ourselves in to that Championship 4 a week early is really special and just a testament to everyone back at the shop. To have us and the No. 88 already in is a great feeling, and hopefully we can get the Nos. 1 and 8 in next weekend. It's a great feeling knowing that we can just have some fun next weekend in Martinsville."
