Richard Childress Racing will have a shot at the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship, courtesy of Austin Hill.
Driving the No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, Austin Hill ran down Cole Custer and easily passed the reigning series champion for the lead with just 12 laps to go at Homestead-Miami Speedway. After passing Custer, Hill drove off with the race win in hand. This will be his first ever appearance in the Championship 4, causing him to become emotional on the radio after taking the checkered flag. This victory is Hill's fourth of the year and the tenth of his Xfinity career.
Allmendinger was actually in control of the race. He was already locked into the final four via his Las Vegas win last weekend, so he chose to gamble for a late caution while saving his final set of tires. Kaulig Racing teammate Shane van Gisbergen and JR Motorsports' Brandon Jones did the same. Once Allmendinger finally pitted from the lead with 20 laps to go, Custer regained control of the race.
