Justin Allgaier was knocked out of Saturday’s Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway after crashing out at the end of Stage 1.

Allgaier was exiting turn 2 on lap 26 of the Ag-Pro 300 and made some contact with Riley Herbst. Allgaier lost control of his No. 7 Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports, which slammed into a wall.

The hood of Allgaier’s car was completely busted up after the crash, but his window net was able to come down after he came to a stop.

Allgaier was treated and released from the infield care center after his crash.

The early crash for Allgaier ensured him a last-place finish in the race. Allgaier has had four top-10 finishes this season. He finished second in the Xfinity Series last season.
