Slippin’ And Slidin’ At The Monster Mile

It was all JR Motorsports all day long on Saturday (April 30) at Dover Motor Speedway in the A-GAME 200. If you’re a fan of green flag racing (like I am), this one was for you.

Josh Berry took home the NASCAR Xfinity Series win after taking the lead with 53 to go. His teammate Justin Allgaier came in second, while Ty Gibbs, Noah Gragson and Sam Mayer rounded out the rest of the top five, and yes, you read that correctly. That marks all four JRM cars in the top five, but we’ll get into that later. Wheelmen got to be wheelmen and rookies got broken in to one of NASCAR’s most unforgiving tracks today, so with that being said, let’s jump in.

The Winners

Firstly, JRM as a whole. The last time a feat like this was accomplished in the Xfinity Series was when Joe Gibbs Racing did it at Darlington Raceway in 2013. Now, almost a decade later, Dale Earnhardt Jr.‘s Xfinity squad has earned themselves some elite company.

The craziest thing about it, though? A different JRM car won each stage. Mayer won the first before a pit road travesty (again, more on that later) sent him to the back of the pack. “Mr. Monster Mile” Allgaier took home the stage two win, and Berry used a late overtake to seal his first victory of 2022. Last week we talked about how good of a day Chris Our had at the office, but Earnhardt Jr. has one-upped him this week to the fullest extent.

I had to sit and think a minute before I made this decision, but our last winners spot has got to be a tie between Justin Allgaier and Noah Gragson. Come to think of it, I should have just named this section the JRM corner this week, but I digress.

Allgaier had a rough go last week at Talladega Superspeedway. He was in a great position to win the race and had a great car, but bled his tank dry on a restart and ended up having to kick it in the garage. Fast forward to this week, and he yet again had arguably the best car at the track. He might have came home with second place, but that’s always…
