Rallies to Sixth-Place Allmendinger overcame a last-lap accident to finish sixth-place in the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway Sunday, Kaulig Racing reports.

Impact Allmendinger came from 29th-place on the starting grid to move to the front and mix it up with the leaders all afternoon at Daytona. The Kaulig Racing veteran would even ply the lead from Joey Logano for a single lap on lap 189 to serve notice he'd be in contention to win. Allmendinger would be racing among the leaders in the second overtime when he'd get rolled up in the last accident of the event. He'd be credited with a strong sixth-place finish when the caution came out.

Select Xfinity Series Starts Beginning at Circuit of The Americas in late March, Allmendinger will run select Xfinity Series races for Kaulig Racing in its No. 10 Chevrolet.
