AJ Allmendinger Avoids Carnage, Wins Verizon 200 At Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course

"We just won at Indy!" Allmendinger yelled. "I mean, this is unbelievable," Allmendinger continued. "In my wildest dreams I could never imagine the way that just played out."

"We probably had like an eighth-, 10th-place car, sped on pit road. I thought we were going to finish 12th to 15th, and then those restarts were just insane," he said. "It's great when you have a car owner that just says, 'Go get me trophies.' He doesn't care if that thing is torn up."
