Justin Allgaier wins Xfinity Series race at Homestead

Justin Allgaier won his second consecutive race in the Xfinity Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In a thrilling finish, he took the lead on the last lap of overtime, narrowly beating his former teammate, Sam Mayer. Kyle Larson had been the dominant driver for much of the race, leading 132 out of 201 laps. However, a caution with eight laps to go changed the race's dynamics. During the final re-start, Mayer accidentally bumped Larson's car, causing a chain reaction that allowed Allgaier to move ahead. After overtaking Austin Hill for the lead, Allgaier secured the victory. This win marked Allgaier's first top-five finish at Homestead after 16 attempts and kept his winning streak alive following a victory in Las Vegas. Hill finished third after Mayer passed him on the final lap. Allgaier expressed pride in his team, acknowledging that they had faced setbacks but ultimately succeeded. He also earned a $100,000 bonus as part of the Dash 4 Cash program for series drivers. Larson, who was hoping to achieve a rare three-win sweep in one weekend, expressed disappointment after finishing fourth. He pointed out the issues caused by Mayer's car during the re-start. The Xfinity Series will continue with the Marine Corps 250 at Martinsville Speedway next Saturday, where Allgaier and others will compete for another cash bonus. Allgaier currently leads the championship standings with Mayer in pursuit.
