Allmendinger is dominant at the track and Sunday was no exception. Pat Welter was live with reaction from victory lane.
>> HE'S A NON-PLAYOFF DRIVER. ALSO PLAYING SPOILER ALERT. LET'S BRING IN PAT WELTER HERE. HE WAS IN VICTORY LANE BOY, THAT AJ ALLMENDINGER EMOTIONAL AFTER THIS WHAT A STORY. AJ ALLMENDINGER IS KC AND I GOT A NEW NICKNAME FOR HIM BECAUSE I WAS TALKING TO KYLE BUSCH COMING OFF. THE TRACK IS ONE OF THE DRIVERS THAT GOT ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFF CONTENTION TODAY. >> HE CALLED HIM MISTER ROVELL AND IT FITS BECAUSE NO, HE'S NEVER WON HERE IN THE CUP SERIES. BUT HE'S WON HERE 4 STRAIGHT TIMES IN THE XFINITY SERIES FROM 2019, THE 2022 AND JUST THE CELEBRATION TO FINALLY GET IT DONE IT IN THE CUP SERIES. HIS FIRST WIN. >> IN 15 STARTS. THIS IS A GUY THAT DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF HE'S GOING TO RACE IN THE CUP SERIES NEXT SEASON. SO THIS ONE REALLY MEANS A LOT FOR HIM AND HIS TEAM AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SAW ALL THE EMOTIONS OR OUT AFTER THE RACE. >> YOU KNOW, MY FAMILY, MY WIFE, MY NEW BABY BOY ARROW MY MOM AND DAD. ALL MY CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND. THEY SEE THE ANGUISH. THAT PUT MYSELF THROUGH ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE'RE STRUGGLING AND IT'S HARD. SOMETIMES IT GOES. YOU GO TO DARK PLACES SOMETIMES. AND BUT I TAKE PRIDE IN ALWAYS TRYING TO. RAISE UP AND AND BRING US TO THE BEST LEVEL POSSIBLE. >> AND HE FIGHTS OFF. WILLIAM BYRON, WHO'S LAST WEEK'S WINNER? ONE OF THE FAVORITES RIGHT NOW TO WIN THE WHOLE THING. BYRON TOLD ME HE WAS FEELING SICK, TOOK A NAP BEFORE THE RACE. I MIGHT WANT TO ACTUALLY CATCH, BUT HE'S HAVING ALL THE WAY HE'S RACING THESE DAYS. BUT ALL THAT, THEY ARE ALSO TOLD US THAT HE'S GOING TO CELEBRATE LIKE THIS IS HIS LAST. WHENEVER THE ONLY THING HE'S GOING TO WORRY ABOUT, CASEY, NOT NEXT YEAR. IT'S HOW
