Justin Allgaier picks up a victory in the OneMain Financial 200 at Dover International Speedway, outlasting teammate Elliott Sadler.

Justin Allgaier survived a 27-lap battle with teammate Elliott Sadler to win the OneMain Financial 200 at Dover International Speedway.

Sadler failed to complete a pass of Allgaier coming out of Turn 4, nearly wrecking them both in the process.

The JR Motorsports drivers were also battling for the final Dash 4 Cash $100,000 bonus. Sadler had won the last two.

“Elliott and I had a great race,” Allgaier told Fox Sports 1. “The amount of respect Elliott showed me was great. Obviously we got together coming to the checkered. I expected that. I knew he had to do what he had to do. We had to do what we had to do.”

Allgaier led 104 laps to win his first Xfinity Series race since last September at Chicagoland Speedway. It was his sixth career win and came in his 250th start.

“That race I couldn’t have asked for anything better,” Allgaier said. “My wife and my daughter aren’t here and that’s probably the hardest part about today. ... When we were coming to the checkered, even though I was in the fence I was thinking I was really disappointed that they’re not here.”

The top five was Allgaier, Sadler, Daniel Hemric, Christopher Bell and Tyler Reddick.

STAGE 1 WINNER: Elliott Sadler

STAGE 2 WINNER: Justin Allgaier
