Allgaier was sent spinning back toward the track and the No. 7 came to a rest right in the middle of the backstretch. He was seen taking his safety net down and he removed the steering wheel.
He explained what happened to Fox Sports.
"I hate it for everybody, you know, dash for cash. Obviously, really important race for us, nothing to show, no stage points or anything," he added. "So, I hate it, I hate it for everybody back in the shop."
