This is a cute way to look at the battle between Steve and Justin. I doubt that either driver thinks it's "cute" though.
I'll say it again, I think it stinks that NASCAR changed the Awards Banquets this year. In the past the Nationwide and Truck series had their own and the top 10 in each series got on stage. That's not the case this year. I'm sure each one would rather have 5th over 6th even if they did go up on stage but I would still like to see and hear the rest of the top 10 drivers.

Top-Five Advantage: Now In Allgaier’s Court
The NASCAR Nationwide Series has its own take on the Abbot & Costello comedy set, ‘Who’s on first?’ We’ll call it ‘Who’s in fifth?’ But there’s nothing funny about it.
This is all business between the drivers who are digging for the coveted No. 5 position in the final series standings — Justin Allgaier (No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge) and Steve Wallace (No. 66 USFidelis Chevrolet).
Allgaier, in fifth, has the advantage heading to California; he’s 13 points ahead of Wallace, who’s sixth. The two drivers, ages 23 and 22, respectively, have traded those positions over the last three races.
Drivers who finish in the top 10 in the standings will be honored at the season-ending NASCAR Nationwide Series Awards Banquet on Nov. 23 at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Those who finish in the top five will be recognized on stage.
