Justin Allgaier ended an 80-race winless drought by visiting Victory Lane in last Saturday’s DC Solar 200 at Phoenix.

It was his first checkered flag in the NASCAR XFINITY Series since Aug. 18, 2012 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.

Allgaier hopes the wins begin to pile up, starting with Saturday’s Service King 300 at Auto Club Speedway at 4 pm. ET on FS1.

The No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet driver has three top-tens and an average finish of 14.0 in eight career starts at the two-mile track.

“I’m very much looking forward to going to Auto Club Speedway,” Allgaier said. “It’s fun, it’s fast and it’s slick. I think that when you add those three words together it makes for great racing.”
