Justin Allgaier 'disappointed' after late-race incident with Kyle Larson at Indy

The heavy impact incurred significant damage on Allgaier's Chevrolet and knocked him out of the race, relegating the series points leader to a 36th-place finish. Meanwhile, Larson hung on to score a fourth-place finish. 

Allgaier's lead in the regular season standings over race winner Connor Zilisch has been trimmed to 21 points with five races remaining in the regular season. 

"I wish I would've gotten clear there off of (turn) 1," Larson told CW Sports. "He (Allgaier) didn't really pack air on my door there. He just got enough where I got a little bit loose. My angle was bad because I was trying to short cut my entry." 

"Unfortunately, we got the worse end of the deal," Allgaier told reporters. "I'm disappointed. I'll have to go back and look at it. I don't really have a lot to say on it right now."

It's the second time in six weeks that Allgaier has been involved in a late-race scuffle with a Cup Series driver in the No. 17 Xfinity Series car. At Pocono Raceway on June 21, contact between Allgaier and Chase Elliott resulted in Connor Zilisch, who also won Saturday's race at Indianapolis, winning after Allgaier and Elliott fell out of contention.
