The JR Motorsports driver defeated Austin Cindric, who was trying to win for the sixth time in seven races.
“These last 18 to 24 months have been crazy,” Allgaier told NBCSN. “Just proud of these guys and the no give of attitude they’ve got. … What a day. What a race car. We were off a little bit in the beginning and (crew chief) Jason (Burdett) did a great job of getting us where we need to be at.”
For Allgaier, it is the sixth consecutive Dover race he’s finished third or better.
The top five was completed by Ross Chastain, Noah Gragson and Harrison Burton.
The top-15 finishers will be inverted for Sunday’s Xfinity race. Brett Moffitt will start first and Brandon Brown will start second.
