AJ Allmendinger praises team effort after strong performance in Homestead-Miami

The Kaulig Racing driver reflected on a good weekend at the Miami-Homestead as he secured the 7th position. However, Allmendinger shared that he needed a little more to finish within the top five.

The 43-year-old driver highlighted the efforts of his team for his finishing within the top-10 and credited his crew chief, Trent Owens, for making key changes to tighten up after encountering struggles in the second stage.

The Californian also praised his pit crew for their consistent performance throughout the race. Talking to the media post-race, Allmendinger shared his thoughts on the result and said,

“I thought we had a really solid weekend at Homestead.We needed a little bit more to go contend in the top five but overall, we had really good speed. I thought Trent [Owens] made some great adjustments after the second stage when we were struggling there just getting too loose. I’m proud to have another good run at Homestead; we had great stops from our pit crew; they were on it all day."

Building on last week’s top-ten finish in Las Vegas, Allmendinger highlighted back-to-back results after a tough start to the season.

"It’s really nice to put two top 10s together in a row after the disappointment we had at the start off the year. To come to these races, execute, earn stage points and finish well is really good for us to build momentum,” he added.

With his recent result in Miami, AJ Allmendinger had extended his streak of longest-running top-ten finishes at Homestead, previously finishing third, fifth and eighth in his last three outings. Allmendinger also ties with Christopher Bell for the best average finish at the track in the next-gen era, with 5.3.
