NASCAR Driver A.J. Allmendinger Flips During 18-Car Wreck At Talladega#BWIe

NASCAR Driver A.J. Allmendinger Flips During 18-Car Wreck At Talladega All it took for NASCAR driver A. J. Allmendinger to flip his car was a slight tap on Chase Elliot at Talladega on Sunday. As AJ Allmendinger sat upside down in his No.47 Chevrolet on the track at Talladega Superspeedway, one thought was going through his mind. Allmendinger was fighting for the lead of the GEICO 500 with fewer than 20 laps remaining in the race when he tapped Chase Elliotts No.24 car and ignited an 18-car wreck, sending himself - and Elliott - in the air and ultimately flipping upside down. After being cleared by the in-field care center - a NASCAR requirement for drivers who crash and dont finish the race - Allmendinger said he was disappointed more than anything, but thats what happens when drivers battle for the lead at Talladega. Allmendinger - an 11-year Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series veteran - said the severity of the impact wasnt that bad, all things considered.
