Looking at loop data from the race, Allmendinger ranked 6th-fastest when it came to Green Flag Speed, and he was 3rd-best when it came to Average Running Position. After the race, AJ remarked, "It was pretty good [today. We] obviously had a top-five car all day. " Looking at the Playoffs picture, Allmendinger is now 72 points below the cut line. If he wants to make the postseason this year, he will have to win at Daytona next weekend.
