Jonathan Allard made his return to the United States a big one, as he scored a second place finish with the World of Outlaws on Saturday night following an 11th place effort on Friday night.
“This Williams Motorsports car was bad to the bone all weekend long, and it is awesome to get home and score a second place finish.”
Allard was strong all night on Saturday as he timed in eighth fastest, putting himself in great position for the night ahead.
Scoring a second place finish in his heat, Allard transferred to the Dash, where he started on the pole.
Jumping out to the early lead, Allard, went on to win the dash, and put his Williams Motorsports machine on the pole for the 35-lap feature event alongside Craig Dollansky.
With the track in the condition it was, the start would be critical, but Allard fell into the second spot.
With Dollanky down in the rubber, Allard did everything he could in the early goings of the feature to get a run on the leader, by using the top side of the speedway, but the rubber was just too good.
Getting in line, JA would hang on and finish the night off in the second position.
“Rubber down race tracks are not very good for the fans, but for us, we put ourselves in position to be up front ,and we were able to hang on.”
Friday night, Allard kicked the night off by timing in 12th fastest and sat on the front row of his heat.
Picking up the heat win, Allard would finish eighth in the dash.
On the rough track, Allard would bounce around to an 11th place finish.
“All in all it was a good weekend for us,” Allard said. “I’m excited to get home this weekend at Chico, and see if we can win one of these.”
