Three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen continues to run rampant over the NASCAR competition on road courses with a second consecutive Xfinity Series win.
Van Gisbergen, who had some struggles in the race, returned to the lead on a restart with 11 of 79 laps remaining after door-slamming then-leader Austin Hill. From there, van Gisbergen held off first Sam Mayer and then a late charge from Sheldon Creed by 1.323 seconds to claim his second straight Xfinity win. He earned his first series win last week at Portland. The 35-year-old Kiwi now has three NASCAR victories – all on road courses.
Stage 2 Ty Gibbs led every green flag lap on his way to 6.655-second Stage 2 win over van Gisbergen. Jesse Love finished third, Creed fourth and Custer rounded out the top five. Stage 3 During the break between Stages 2 and 3, a handful of drivers elected to pit, but Hill remained on the track and inherited the lead. Hill led Green and Allmendinger when the race returned to green with 29 laps to go.
