It was way too smooth out there, states AJ Allmendinger following the NASCAR Xfinity race

AJ Allmendinger's victory marked his second win of the season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and his third race for Kaulig Racing. Allmendinger's exceptional performance on the track left him feeling satisfied. He said:

"It's a good feeling once you get under the white flag. That's a good feeling."

The NASCAR race at Nashville Superspeedway was not without its challenges, as the caution flag made several appearances throughout the event. In fact, the 11 cautions tied a previous Xfinity record at the track, which had occurred three times in the past.

As the NASCAR race settled into a rhythm, Cole Custer, who had started from pole position, consistently found himself among the top contenders.

However, during a series of green flag pit stops, Allmendinger managed to stealthily maneuver past Custer, and Chandler Smith, positioning himself in the front.

Allmendinger was able to regain the lead comfortably after the late-stage green flag pit stops. Although a late yellow flag threatened to jeopardize his position, Allmendinger remained resolute during the overtime finish, successfully fending off his competitors and securing his well-deserved victory.

Reflecting on the race, Allmendinger expressed his satisfaction with the overall smoothness of his performance. He admitted:

"I was hoping a caution wasn't gonna come out (late), but I was kind of expecting it. It was way too smooth there."

The race marked Allmendinger's second win of the season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He still has one more scheduled race with Kaulig Racing in August at Indianapolis.
