NASCAR Wire Reports – For the third time this year, Justin Allgaier drove his way to Victory Lane in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, winning the NFPA 250 (National Fire Protection Association) at Martinsville Speedway.
The driver of the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet led 114 of 250 laps at the Virginia short track Saturday afternoon. Allgaier’s hot streak continues after winning the last three of four races at Phoenix Raceway, Darlington Raceway and now Martinsville.
Corey Day, Sammy Smith, Sheldon Creed and O’Reilly Series debutant Lee Pulliam rounded out the top five.
Austin Hill finished P6, then Dean Thompson, Ross Chastain, Ryan Sieg and Brent Crews completed the top 10.
The race was red-flagged with 16 laps to go due to a major pileup on a late-race restart when Pulliam did not get up to speed at the front of the outside line, causing multiple drivers to suffer heavy damage as the field stacked up.
Luke Baldwin, who made his NOAPS debut, spun and hit the Turn 3 wall early in Stage 2. He finished 38th.
The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series returns to action next Saturday at Rockingham Speedway for the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 Presented by Black’s Tire (2:30 p.m. ET, The CW, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
