NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — NASCAR's big weekend in Music City culminated in a celebration Saturday night after Justin Allgaier took the win in the Tennessee Lottery 250.
The No. 7 Chevrolet led 100 of 188 laps of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Nashville Superspeedway.
"Every time we bring our Hellmann's Mayonnaise Chevy out, it's always fast, it's always up at the front, you know, we're battling for wins," Allgaier told News 2.
He faced challenges in the race, at one point being placed fourth on a restart with 49 laps to go. However, after a power move to the inside of the track, he grabbed the lead and maintained it for the duration of the race.
In second, No. 88 Chevrolet driver Connor Zilisch said he knew his chance for first place was over as soon as Allgaier reached the bottom.
"The bottom was so dominant, as soon as he got to the bottom it was over. I wish I could've done something differently, but I really don't think I could've, I just got side drafted back. And once we were side by side I just didn't have quite enough grip," Zilisch said.
Following the race, Allgaier took home his second Gibson guitar, three years after earning his first. Now, he says he has a guitar for each of his two daughters.
The race marked his third win of the 2025 season, according to NASCAR.
The excitement at Nashville Superspeedway continues Sunday night at 6 p.m. CDT with the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race.
