Let’s throw it back, race fans. Justin Allgaier continued his reign over the track that’s “Too Tough to Tame” on Saturday (May 7), coming from the back to the front to take the win on throwback weekend. His victory in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Mahindra ROXOR 200 broke a 34-race winless streak.
Noah Gragson, Riley Herbst, John Hunter Nemechek, and Sam Mayer rounded out the top-five finishers, rounding out yet another fantastic day for JR Motorsports. We’re throwing it back to the future in this Breakdown, shaking things up a little, so let’s jump right in.
The Winners
Riley Herbst gets the first nod for this week’s winners section, as the driver of the No. 98 Mustang has been on an absolute tear as of late. He’s got five consecutive top 10s now, well within the hunt for his first win of the season running up a streak that have might slipped under the nose of most race fans. Herbst is one of the few fast Fords on the Xfinity circuit so far this year, and that’s important to notice — it shows that he’s been having these finishes with little-to-no teammate assistance at Stewart-Haas Racing.
Now, for the elephant in the room. Justin Allgaier went a full year without a win; turns out Darlington was the cure. Now, 34 races later, the track that is “Too Tough to Tame” was taken care of by Allgaier a second straight year. He even had to come from the very back of the field after having to replace a battery on pit road before the race.
Now, with a spot in the playoffs, the veteran driver is undoubtedly looking forward to adding to that win total going forward. By the way, he’s now 2-for-2 running Dale Earnhardt Sr. schemes – just some food for thought.

The Losers
You might have noticed a name missing from the up-front JRM crew, and you’d be right. Josh Berry had just as fast of a car as anyone,…
