Watkins Glen Race Recap

I didn't have much to add to this. AJ had a solid day, but nothing spectacular. From www.ajallmendinger.com


For the fifth race in a row, AJ Allmendinger scored a top-20 finish for Richard Petty Motorsports on Monday as he brought the #44 Stanley Tools Dodge home in 13th in the Heluva Good! at the Glen after starting 18th in the field. The result moved AJ up two positions in the unofficial points standings to 24th, one point ahead of Dale Jr.

AJ had been hoping to match the road course form that saw him score 7th at Sonoma in June, and he ran as high as second in the race, which was run on Monday after heavy rains postponed the race for the second time in as many weeks.

After the race, AJ tweeted to his fan club members:
"13th not too bad. Car was pretty good in the end. Not great on new tires. Thank u sammy and wolf and the whole team for all their effort..."

Next up is Michigan, where AJ qualified a strong 6th in the series previous visit to the track in June...
