Cars in field: 38
\nPole: Taylor Gray (54)
\nOutside Pole: Connor Zilisch (88)
\nStages: 45-45-110
\nWeather: Mostly cloudy, 74\u00b0F, Feels like 77\u00b0, Feels like (shade) 72\u00b0, Wind WSW 4 mph, Wind Gusts 7 mph<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 27 of 200 for Brad Perez (45) stopped on the track.<\/p>\n

William ‘WillyB’ Byron (17) wins stage one.<\/p>\n

On lap 41 of 200 the leader is 2.297 seconds ahead of second position. The first stage was the same. Not much of a race currently.<\/p>\n

WillyB (17) wins stage two.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 147 of 200 for debris during green flag pit stops. Taylor Gray (54) lost a left rear tire and laid down some debris. NASCAR was keeping the race green, then the television broadcast spent some time showing the debris on track and NASCAR threw the flag.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 178 of 200 for a slide by Carson Kvapil (1).<\/p>\n

Some pit, some stay out. Leader Justin Allgaier (7) and the two cars behind him stayed out.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 184 of 200 with Justin Allgaier (7), Sheldon Creed (00) and Jesse Love (2) up front after staying out, followed by Jeb Burton (27), Blaine Perkins (31), Sam Mayer (41), Brandon Jones (20), Nick Sanchez (48), Connor Zilisch (88), Harrison Burton (25), and WillyB (17). Zilisch is the first car that pitted.<\/p>\n

Allgaier gets the early lead.<\/p>\n

Caution in turn one on lap 184 of 200 as Brandon Jones (20) gets into Blaine Perkins (31) sending him into Harrison Burton (25) and Sammy Smith (8) and Christian Eckes (16) and Jeremy Clements (51).<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 188 of 200 with Justin Allgaier (7), Jeb Burton (27), Creed (00), Sam Mayer (41), Connor Zilisch (88), Brandon Jones (20), Nick Sanchez (48), Sammy Smith (8), WillyB (17), and Brennan Poole (44) up front.<\/p>\n

Allgaier gets the early lead.<\/p>\n

Caution on the restart again as Katharine Legge (32) and Kris Wright (5) tangle along with JJ Yeley (53) who just ran into the side of Katherine in the turn sending both of them spinning in front of the field, then down into the infield grass.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 194 of 200 with Justin Allgaier (7), Jeb Burton (27), Sheldon Creed (00), Nick Sanchez (48), Sam Mayer (41), Connor Zilisch (88), Sammy Smith (8), William Byron (17), Brandon Jones (20), and Brennan Poole (44) up front.<\/p>\n

Allgaier gets the early lead off a push by Creed.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 196 of 200 for a crash involving Kyle Sieg (28), Leland Honeyman (), Brandon Jones (20), Katherine Legge, (70).<\/p>\n

On lap 199 of 204 Daniel Dye (10) has lost a left rear wheel which has rolled down the track and Dye’s car has come to a stop against the outside wall.<\/p>\n

The lap display on the leaderboard only displays overtime instead of the actual lap count now. I wish they would simply continue to display the lap count in the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

Restarting in overtime on lap 203 of 205 with Justin Allgaier (7), Connor Zilisch (88), William ‘WillyB’ Byron (17), Nick Sanchez (48), Dean Thompson (26), Sheldon Creed (00), Josh Williams (11), Sammy Smith (8), Jeb Burton, Christian Eckes (16) up front.<\/p>\n

Allgaier gets a good push to the lead from William Byron.<\/p>\n

Byron passes him just before the white flag, both cars sliding after contact, both get it straightened out and continue.<\/p>\n

Caution for a crash as WillyB heads to the checkered flag for the win. Brennan Poole (44) has a lot of damage and a fire under the hood. Jeb Burton was also involved (27) in the crash. Television seems to have missed the crash completely. We’re watching smoke from Byron’s burnout instead of a replay of the crash, so they seem to be struggling to find a camera shot of that action. Now they’re following him walking to pick up the flag, while PRN is reporting the window nets are down on the crashed vehicles, so they driver are signalling they are okay.<\/p>\n

Seriously, the television broadcast needs to do a better job of following all of the on-track action.<\/p>\n

Allgaier is disappointed. He knew he was taking a chance by staying out and avoid the ‘games on pit road’. It is his daughter’s birthday and she wanted a trophy for her birthday.<\/p>\n

Television finally found a shot of the crash. Jeb Burton (27) drifted back in front of Brennan Poole (44) who had nowhere to go. Burton rode the wall a while. Poole hit William Sawalich (18) then pounded the outside wall.<\/p>\n

In his television interview Allgaier said he “should’ve come down pit road, all things aside”. He said he saw the 00 was going to stay out. He said, “I feel like [I] gave that away. I think that’s the hardest part”. He led 101 laps.<\/p>\n

I tuned in during the first stage and saw the leader had a more than two second lead and turned to a cooking show. I checked back during a break between cooking shows and saw the second stage was going the same as the first and turned to a movie. I checked back around lap 180. I figured with twenty laps to go in the scheduled distance they might really start to race. The action certainly seemed to pick up. There were a lot of cautions which turned a battle amongst Xfinity series regulars into another Xfinity series race won by a Cup guy instead. A very disappointing finish. As usual the television broadcast was deficient in showing the on-track action. They managed to catch the battle for the lead, then followed the leader who drove away from the rest of the field, but managed to miss showing a multi-car crash that occurred as the leader headed to the checkered flag, resulting in a finish under caution. Mediocre event, at best, with a yucky finish.<\/p>\n
