Justin Allgaier's wife once revealed the scariest incident of Justin's career
In an interview with Beliefnet, Ashley Allgaier shed light on her emotions while watching her husband compete in high-stakes races. When asked if she experiences nervousness, she stated:
"I don’t get nervous. I just don’t like Daytona and Talladega. I’m confident in his racing ability but one person’s mistake can jeopardize him."

"When Daytona rolls around, I love it but I’m dreading it at the same time," she admitted.
When the topic shifted to the scariest moment Ashley has encountered during Justin Allgaier's racing career, she recalled a chilling incident that occurred during Justin's first Nationwide Race at Charlotte in 2008.

"It was his first race with Penske and there were all kinds of emotions. That was probably the worst one because I had no clue where the infield care center was. I practically got lost trying to get there. By the time I got there, he was checked out of the doctor’s (room) and looking for me," she shared.
