3 In A Row For Noah... Wait a Second

The Dash4Cash, is the Xfinity Series driver bonus program equivalent to the Triple Truck Challenge in the Truck Series. "The first of the four eligible Dash 4 Cash competitors to finish in a race in the program will win the $100,000 bonus. The winner and the next three highest finishing Xfinity Series drivers (who have declared for points in that series) will qualify for the next event." (Per NASCAR.com)

For the 3rd Time in his career, the polarizing JR Motorsports driver Noah Graigson won the Xfinity Dash4Cash. Noah finished P3 in Saturday's Steakhouse Elite 200 at Darlington Race.... BUUUUT, after Post Race Inspection Noah's #9 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet failed Rule 20.14.c Stating that “All suspension mounts and mounting hardware must not allow movement or realignment of any suspension and/or drivetrain component beyond normal rotation or suspension and/or drivetrain travel.”

With this disqualification, Noah was forced to relinquish his $100,000 bonus and his 3rd place finish pushed to dead last. (His 4th outside the top 30 this year). This brought up `13th place finisher AJ Allmendinger (now 12th) to the top finishing Dash4Cash eligible driver. His #16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet  passed it's inspection and sealed in AJ's 2nd 6-figure Bonus. 

Next Saturday at Dover, AJ will join part timer Josh Berry as well as Brandon Jones & Steakhouse Elite winner Justin Allgaier to compete for the final Dash4Cash for the 2021 season and that $100,000.
