[autotag]Justin Allgaier[/autotag] has officially been named the 2023 Most Popular Driver Award winner in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Allgaier received the honor at NASCAR’s banquet in Nashville, Tennessee, as the sport celebrates its 2023 season. This is the fourth time he has won the award in the last five years. Noah Gragson took home hte trophy during the 2022 season.
Allgaier’s victory comes during a year where he saw great success. The JR Motorsports driver had the most wins (four) since the 2018 Xfinity Series season when he won five times. Allgaier made the Championship 4 for the fourth time in the last five seasons but couldn’t find enough speed to win the event. He finished second in the point standings behind Cole Custer.
Overall, Allgaier seems to have a firm grasp on the award on a yearly basis. However, Hailie Deegan will join the Xfinity Series next year, so there could be some added competition. It will be fascinating to see how Allgaier fares in future seasons, as he has become a regular competitor in the Xfinity Series.
