Josh Skipper cooks the competition at the speed of smoke


Posted

DAYTONA BEACH – Justin Allgaier’s job requires him to go as fast as he can. Josh Skipper’s job on Aug. 26 required him to go low and slow. Allgaier’s Xfinity Series team hired Skipper, a newly-crowned world champion pitmaster, to fire up his grills and prepare a memorable feast ahead of the Wawa 250 at the Daytona International Speedway. Skipper crossed the line with an assortment of smokey goodness – ribs, chicken wings and tomahawk chops. Allgaier, who drove the No. 7 Chevrolet for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s race team, wasn’t as lucky. He was involved in a seven-car pileup in Turn 1 on Lap 93. Then he was in an eight-car crash six laps later. Nonetheless, he finished on the lead lap in 13th place – and with a full belly.
